Hickey partially paralyzes New Zealand woman

A woman was partially paralyzed from a hickey that caused her to have a small stroke, the New Zealand Medical Journal said according to a media report. The 44-year-old New Zealander went to the emergency room after she found that she couldn't move her left arm while she was watching TV, The Christchurch Press reported. Doctors concluded that she had had a stroke but were perplexed as to why, the paper said. Then they found a "love bite" on her neck near a major artery, and discovered a clot in the artery beneath the hickey — a small vertical bruise.

"Because it was a love bite there would be a lot of suction," said Dr. Wu, who attended to the woman over a year ago at the Middlemore Hospital in Auckland, according to the paper. "Because of the physical trauma it had made a bit of bruising inside the vessel."

He added the clot traveled to the woman's heart and caused the stroke. "We looked at the medical literature and that example of having a love bite causing something like that hasn't been described before," Dr Wu said. The Maori woman was treated with an anticoagulant and the clot disappeared within a week, doctors said.

Lucky-Train cuts car in half — but driver walks away

PACOIMA, Calif. — A motorist fell asleep while his car was stopped on railroad tracks Thursday — but survived uninjured when a Union Pacific cargo train cut his vehicle in half.

The man drove his Hyundai Sonata past the caution arm of the tracks. A 59-car train struck the car and ripped it in half, leaving the driver in the rear part, Mascarenas said. The force of the accident caused the tracks underneath the train to bend and buckle all the way to its destination in Sylmar, he said.

Burglars snort ashes of cremated man and 2 dogs

MIAMI — Burglars snorted the cremated remains of a man and two dogs in the mistaken belief that they had stolen illegal drugs, Florida sheriff's deputies said Wednesday. The ashes were taken from a woman's home in the central Florida town of Silver Springs Shores on Dec. 15. The thieves took an urn containing the ashes of her father and another container with the ashes of her two Great Danes, along with electronic equipment and jewelry, the Marion County Sheriff's Office said.Investigators learned what happened to the ashes after they arrested five teens in connection with another burglary attempt at a nearby home last week."The suspects mistook the ashes for either cocaine or heroin. It was soon discovered that the suspects snorted some of the ashes believing they were snorting cocaine," the sheriff's report said.

Once they realized their error, the suspects discussed returning the remaining ashes but threw them in a lake instead because they thought their fingerprints were on the containers, sheriff's spokesman Judge Cochran said.

Police divers were trying to recover the ashes. The suspects were jailed on numerous charges of burglary and other crimes.

Wow-School cancels cross-dressing day

TORONTO - Attention all kindergarten to Grade 8 students: Cross-dressing day is now cancelled.

This was the news given to students of King City Public School, just north of Toronto, on Thursday after the school pulled the plug on holding an "Opposite Gender Day" on Friday, where kids as young as six would be allowed to come to school dressed as the opposite sex.

According to Ross Virgo of the York Region District School Board, King City PS officials cancelled the day following an outcry of opposition from parents.“Opposite Gender Day has been cancelled in the wake of concerns of parents,” said Virgo. “The idea of (kids) experiencing being people of the opposite gender has offended some people in the community, and the school does not want to do that.”Virgo said the chance to dress as the opposite sex was voluntary to students from junior kindergarten to Grade 8. He said it was proposed by the school's student council and approved by the principal.“They discussed the fun that the day might generate, plus how the experience might help boys and girls understand a bit more what what it felt like to be a member of the opposite sex ...That was the plan,” said Virgo.

Virgo said that Opposite Gender Day was a part of the school's Spirit Days, where kids wear something fun and outrageous to school. Other Spirit Days the school has held involve wearing “funny hats” and coming to school in pajamas.
