Weird News articles found on the web. Calif. students get X-rated version of class DVDELK GROVE, Calif. (AP) - A Northern California elementary school teacher sent her students home for the summer with a video of class memories, only the DVD included six seconds of her having sex on a couch. Officials at the Elk Grove Unified School District asked families of the teacher's 24 students to get rid of the DVD after the unintended clip was found spliced in a scene where children were sharing stories in class. "Just destroy them," said spokeswoman Torrey Johnson. Johnson said the teacher, whose name isn't being released, sent the DVD home with her students from Isabelle Jackson Elementary on the last day of class Friday. She learned of the mistake after a parent called her. She then called all the parents to ask them to destroy the DVD. The school district, located just south of Sacramento, initially sent a letter home to parents asking them to return the DVDs, but then asked parents to simply destroy them.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Police say former Washington Mayor Marion Barry has been arrested and charged with stalking a woman. Weird News
|
The United States Park Police said Barry, a current D.C. Council member, was arrested Saturday in Washington after a woman flagged down an officer and complained Barry was stalking her. Barry was charged with misdemeanor stalking and released. Barry's spokeswoman, Natalie Williams, said Sunday that the accusation was "baseless." She says Barry plans to fight the charge and said the accuser is a 40-year-old woman Barry had helped financially. Barry served four terms as mayor. In his third, he was videotaped in 1990 in a hotel room smoking crack cocaine in an FBI sting. He served six months in prison and in 1994 regained the mayor's office.

Elderly woman calls firefighters to extinguish ‘Yule Log’ image on TVJuly 03, 2009 • 12:04 pm By Diana Fasanella Swiss firefighters called to the home of an elderly woman who reported her TV was burning discovered the “fire” was just an image of a fireplace on the screen. Zurich authorities said the woman, who was not named, called about flames inside her television, but when they responded, no signs of fire or smoke were found. Instead, they discovered was the channel was set to a German station that in the early morning hours aired the constant image of a fireplace. The fire was extinguished with the press of a button. It sucks getting old.

To have squeezed the universe into a ball
To roll it toward some overwhelming question

Come back to tell you all, I shall tell you all"

From yesterdays Bristol Evening Post: Outside Bristol Zoo is the car park, with spaces for 150 cars and 8 coaches. It has been manned 6 days a week for 23 years by the same charming and very polite car park attendant with the ticket machine. The charges are £1. per car and £5. per coach. On Monday 1 June, he did not turn up for work. Bristol Zoo management phoned Bristol City Council to ask them to send a replacement parking attendant. The Council said "That car park is your responsibility." The Zoo said "The attendant was employed by the City Council... wasn't he?" The Council said "What attendant?" Gone missing from his home is a man who has been taking daily the car park fees amounting to about £400. per day for the last 23 years |

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1206444/Boy-15-gets-exam-pass--just-using-bus.htmlBoy, 15, gets an exam pass - just for using the bus
Eagerly awaiting his GCSE results, Bobby McHale was surprised to receive an early letter from an examination board.
The 15-year-old was not expecting his results until later this month, so he was understandably nervous as he opened the mystery envelope.
But what he saw left him astonished, for Bobby had indeed been awarded a certificate - for getting the bus.
It came from the Assessment and Qualifications Alliance, the largest of the three English exam boards, and was headed Using Public Transport (Unit 1).
The certificate recognised, among other skills, his ability to walk to the local bus stop, enter the bus 'in a calm and safe manner', and wait until the bus has stopped before trying to get off.
Bobby, who wasn't even aware he had taken the test, received the AQA certificate after attending a three-week holiday scheme for teenagers run by Bury Youth Services in Greater Manchester.
Some of his friends who attended the scheme also received the qualification although others, including his younger brother Joe, 13, did not.
'Maybe he wasn't up to it,' said Bobby, who is hoping for A grades at GCSE.
'At first I thought I'd got some sort of GCSE early. When I read out the details to the family we all fell about laughing.
'The Bury Youth Scheme is excellent and we get the chance to do a lot of activities but I can't see the point of the certificate at all.'
His father Andy, 44, who runs a marketing company, said: 'Bobby's face was a picture when he saw the certificate.
'The Bury Youth Scheme is excellent and I can only suppose this comes from some box they have to tick in order to get funding.
How to pass
'As part of it Bobby certainly travelled by bus. Maybe it's boosted his confidence because he was nominated as head boy. We think he may go far - so long as he gets the 135.'
Bobby, who attended the course last year, said he won't be boasting of his achievement. 'I haven't bothered framing it,' he said.
More than 920 young people had signed up for the BRAG (Bury and Rochdale Active Generation) course last year and around 300 would have been awarded some sort of accreditation - either for sporting prowess or through an AQA qualification.
The annual cost of running BRAG events is £20,000, paid for through a Government grant.
Barbara Lewis, of Youth Support Services in Bury, said: 'This certificate isn't just about getting on the bus, it's about time management, working out bus routes and for some people, travelling alone for the first time.
'We encourage people to make their own way to the range of activities on offer and work with parents by asking them not to drop them off in the car. For some it may be the only qualification they get.
'The idea is that it's about teaching young people self reliance and emotional well-being through fun and challenging activities. We try to reward young people for their achievements and their social and personal development.
AQA awards 49 per cent of full course GCSEs and 42 per cent of Alevels in England. Pupils sit more than 3.5million exams with it each year.
A spokesman said: 'We expect centres to ensure that candidates are entered for units that are appropriate to their needs and abilities.' Mr.Lally, has Labour gone mad?

MOSCOW - Russia threatened to suspend all child adoptions by U.S. families Friday after a 7-year-old boy adopted by a woman from Tennessee was sent alone on a one-way flight back to Moscow with a note saying he was violent and had severe psychological problems. The boy, Artyom Savelyev, was put on a plane by his adopted grandmother, Nancy Hansen of Shelbyville. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov called the actions by the grandmother “the last straw” in a string of U.S. adoptions gone wrong, including three in which Russian children had died in the U.S. Absolutely criminal.

Something else concerns me here: why don't people adopt children from within America?! There are more than enough who need better homes etc. Or much better: Let's start cloning our selves. If I knew of any project nearby where they were cloning human beings, I'd be the first one to volunteer.  |
