How- Lack of Sex Nets $14,000 from sexless marriage

A judge in France has ruled that a 51-year-old man must pay his 47-year-old ex-wife damages for failing to fulfill her sexual needs for 21 years. The Telegraph reports that a man from Nice, in southern France, known in court as Jean-Louis B., must pay his wife 10,000 euros -- or $13,965 -- to compensate for a "lack of sex over 21 years of marriage." The man was fined under section 215 of France's civil code, which says married couples agree to a "shared communal life." He argued he was often tired and had health problems that prevented him from being sexually active with his ex, but the judge decreed: "A sexual relationship between husband and wife is the expression of affection they have for each other, and in this case it was absent." The ruling comes two years after a judge deemed the man solely responsible for the couple's divorce because of his refusal to have sex with his wife.

What-Drunken man bites snake, sends it to hospital

Here's a new twist to that old man-bites-dog story. A California man is in custody after being accused of biting a python in what police said was apparently an unprovoked attack on the pet snake of an acquaintance. The suspect, David Senk, 54, was arrested Thursday evening on suspicion of unlawfully maiming or mutilating a reptile, Sacramento police Sergeant Andrew Pettit said Friday. The badly injured snake underwent surgery. In a jailhouse interview aired on KOVR-TV in Sacramento, Senk said he had no recollection of the incident after having blacked out from drinking but felt “horrible as hell about it.” Asked why he might have bitten the snake, Senk replied: “I get drunk, I get crazy. I don’t know. I’ve been an alcoholic for a long time.”

Smart-Stolen parrot helps to catch thief after recognising owner

Hu Feng sold the creature to a pet shop, which was later visited by the bird's distraught owner.

When the parrot saw its master, it 'shouted out' and the thief's name and address were handed over by shop staff to police.

The bird's owner Wang Lu, from Beijing, said: 'The shop owner hadn't been able to make the bird talk but as soon as he saw me he wouldn't stop.'He even did impressions of the geese on our farm.' Police quickly located the burglar and arrested him for the theft while the happy relationship between parrot and its relieved owner resumed. African parrots, in particular, are often the target of illegal traders and can be sold on the black market for as little as £260.Some breeds in Mauritius, the Seychelles and Uganda have become extinct because of poaching.

Lesson- Green Day singer: Sagging pants cost me my plane seat

OAKLAND, Calif. — Green Day front man Billie Joe Armstrong says his sagging pants cost him a seat on a Southwest Airlines flight. The singer-guitarist for the San Francisco Bay area band sent a message to his Twitter followers on Thursday expressing his indignation at being tossed from an Oakland-to-Burbank flight for wearing his trousers too low. "Just got kicked off a southwest flight because my pants sagged too low! What the f---? No joke!" he tweeted. An ABC7 news producer who was on the same flight told the station that a flight attendant approached Armstrong as the plane was getting ready to take off and asked him to hike his pants higher. The producer, Cindy Qiu, says Armstrong initially responded by asking the attendant if there weren't "better things to do than worry about that?"

Wow-Still honest people in the world- Wallet holding $4,600 returned

SOLON, Ohio — Police in the Cleveland suburbs say an Ohio man has been reunited with his lost wallet containing $4,600. A woman found it in a shopping cart outside a Bed Bath & Beyond store in Solon on Thursday and took it to police.

Felton described the man who lost the money as someone who carries a lot of cash in his work.

When he picked up the wallet, the man left a reward for Kleppinger at the police station. She won't say how much but says it was "completely unnecessary."

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — this summer's Las Conchas fire in New Mexico scorched tribal lands, threatened one of the nation's premier nuclear facilities and pushed bears into nearby cities.
