LOL-Woman Sues Boss Who Gave Her Sex Toy as Birthday Present

The New York Post) - A Queens, N.Y., woman told her boss to take this job and shove it when he gave her a vibrating sex toy for her birthday after months of sexually suggestive comments and unwanted come-ons, the New York Post reported Wednesday, citing a lawsuit.Silvia Olveira had put up with the conversations about her boss' sex life. She endured his comments about her body. She even tolerated his clumsy attempt to stuff her paycheck in her back pocket, her legal papers allege.But when she opened up Ibrahim Mansi's birthday gift to her in October 2009 and found a sex toy, she had had enough."Usually, I get a cake for my employees," Olveira, 34, said he told her. "When I opened it, I saw this thing. I was like, what is this? I didn't know what to do in that moment. I went outside and took the bag and threw it in the garbage. I called him and said, 'Don't do that anymore.' He said, 'Come on, girl. You don't know how to enjoy your life.' "After she came back inside after dumping the gift, Olveira said: "He asked me what I did with that thing, and I told him I threw it in the garbage."Her lawyer, Matthew Blit, said Mansi "abused his position of power to force unwilling employees to appease his deviant sexual behavior."
Mansi, 47, denied the allegations."She is trying to blackmail me," he said. "There is no grounds for this suit."


Smart Idea-Mice Are Being Trained to Detect bombers/Drugs

FORGET sniffer dogs, crack teams of mice are being trained to detect bombers and drugs couriers at airports. The sniffer rodents are then hidden in airport scanners, ready to raise the alarm.

The detector has been built by Israeli researchers who say it is more accurate than using dogs, pat downs and x-ray machines.It looks like a metal detector or full-body scanner, but one side of it houses three concealed cartridges, each containing eight specially trained mice. The animals work four-hour shifts, milling around in an allocated cartridge while sniffing air pumped in from outside. When they pick up traces of explosives or drugs, they flee to a side chamber, triggering an alarm, New Scientist reports. To avoid false positives, more than one mouse must run away. Inventor Earn Lumbroso, whose company BioExplorers is looking for a larger firm to help with the final stages of development, said: "It is as if they are smelling a cat and escaping. We detect the escape.” To set the pattern of shifts, air is pumped to a different cartridge every four hours.

This gives the rodents eight hours to sleep and play before they are required to "clock on" again. The mice take around ten days to learn their first smell. Subsequent odors take just a few days each. Unlike sniffer dogs, mice do not require constant interaction with their trainers or to be plied with treats to keep them motivated.
The concept may appeal to those who fear that the full-body scanners introduced at many airports are exposing them to harmful radiation and invading privacy. Security expert Bruce Schneier told New Scientist: "Animals" noses are always a good solution, and the mice don’t see you naked.” The device was field tested last year on 1,000 shoppers in a Tel Aviv mall when the mice successfully picked out the 22 people with mock explosives in their pockets.
The scanners - which are likely to be cheaper than equipment already in use - could be on the market within months. It is unclear, however, how the mice would react if a cat was loose in the airport.

Really Hungary-140,000 Calorie Burger

The three-minute video sees the construction of a 50 lb (20 kg), super-calorific burger, just in time for the Superbowl, on Sunday February 6.As well as 20 lb of bacon, the burger is constructed using 13 lb of ground beef and 11 lb of sau

sage, which is all mixed together and wedged between a 10 lb bun. For those who are thinking that the burger is lacking finesse or a certain amount of class, the Epic Meal Time crew would point you towards their barbecue sauce injector, which inserts a home-made sauce straight into the centre of the meat mountain. The Epic Meal Time crew found infamy last year when their fatty food videos went viral, and their videos racked up millions of hits. The latest video already has nearly 1million YouTube hits at the time of writing, just two days after being posted.

Scary-Man haunted by mattress spirit

A BRITISH man believes he has been haunted by a number of spirits in his flat and is desperate to have them exorcised so he can get to sleep. Evin Cartwright, 56, says he has had more than 135 nights where he has felt spirits pushing his mattress while he is lying on it, and is hoping someone can come forward and help. He said: “I am very happy where I live and it is a lovely old property. But since I returned from a holiday to see my children in Canada in September last year, it has felt like someone or something is in my mattress."Mr Cartwright has had eight friends test his bed and four of them have had a similar experience, with some of them feeling very scared. Psychics told Mr. Cartwright they could sense the spirits were children, and not to be afraid of them as they were playing. Since their visit he believes most of the spirits have now left, except for one.
