I think "do not mess with ex-marines" sounds like a good rule for life.

Swimmers warned over loved-up dolphin

New Zealand swimmers are being warned not to go out into the sea alone - or they risk getting a little too much love from a lonely dolphin.

Moko the dolphin took up residence at Mahia, on the east coast of the North Island, last year.

Since then hundreds of people have swum with him, but on the weekend things got out of hand with one woman.

Moko wanted to keep playing and kept swimming in circles around the woman, stopping her from returning to the beach.

She panicked, jumped on a buoy 200 metres out to sea and screamed for help.

Fisherman Joe Hedley says Moko is craving human company.

"He lets you hang onto his fins, swims around his legs, lets you pat and scratch him," he said.

"He'll come right in to knee-deep water".

He says people should stay close to shore and only swim with Moko if they are in a group.

Stolen inflatable clown found with list of demands

Police in Alice Springs say an inflatable clown recently stolen from the Moscow Circus has been found.

The circus mascot Boris was taken from Blatherskite Park on July 26.

A police spokeswoman says a man walking through the Alice Springs golf course on Saturday morning found the clown still inflated at the barbecue area at the 17th green.

She says a handwritten note found with the clown demanding better working conditions has been seized by police for forensic testing.

Police have contacted the Moscow Circus with a view to reuniting it with the clown.

I had never heard of this before. It was on the history channel and it is very weird news.


The Tungusta Event.

http://www.crystalinks.com/tunguskaevent.html

The Tunguska explosion felled an estimated 80 million trees over 2,150 square kilometers (830 sq mi). An overhead satellite view, from nearly a century later, centered at 60°55 N, 101°57 E (near ground zero for this event) shows an area of reduced forest density with a clearly visible, irregular clearing of somewhat less than one square kilometer in area. It is estimated to have measured 5.0 on the Richter scale.

The Tunguska event is the largest impact event in recent history. An explosion of this magnitude had the potential to devastate large metropolitan areas should it occur over a large city. This has helped spark discussion of ways to potentially stop large asteroids or comets from hitting Earth.

Description

At around 7:15 a.m., Tungus natives and Russian settlers in the hills northwest of Lake Baikal observed a column of bluish light, nearly as bright as the Sun, moving across the sky. About 10 minutes later, there was a flash and a loud "knocking" sound similar to artillery fire that went in short bursts spaced increasingly wider apart. Eyewitnesses closer to the explosion reported the sound source moving during each barrage, east to north. The sounds were accompanied by a shock wave that knocked people off their feet and broke windows hundreds of miles away. The majority of eyewitnesses reported only the sounds and the tremors, and not the sighting of the explosion. Eyewitness accounts differ as to the sequence of events and their overall duration.

The explosion registered on seismic stations across Eurasia. Although the Richter scale was not developed until 1935, it has been estimated that in some places the shock wave would have been equivalent to an earthquake of 5.0 on the Richter scale. It also produced fluctuations in atmospheric pressure strong enough to be detected by then recently invented barographs in Britain. Over the next few weeks, night skies were aglow such that one could read in their light, sometimes called "bright nights." In the United States, the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory and the Mount Wilson Observatory observed a decrease in atmospheric transparency that lasted for several months.

The Guinness Book of World Records (1966 edition) states that due to the rotation of the Earth, if the collision had occurred 4 hours 47 minutes later, it would have completely destroyed the city of St. Petersburg.

Ever read the theories about what exploded?
Alien nuke, alien spacecraft, John Tesh's career...

skysidhe 08-16-2009 06:33 PM
The theory stressed the most was it was an asteroid. The show barely touched on the alien thing nor did they say anything about the black hole or anti matter therory...OR John Tesh ?

I have not read them though. Any weird link you want to share?

Crimson Ghost 08-17-2009 12:14 AM
I tend to go with the 'asteroid exploding before it hit Earth' theory.

I read one where it was an atomic bomb that was sent back in time by future scientists who had developed a time travel device. They were also responsible for the dinosaurs being extinct. That theory, not so much...

Bob Dylan says he is thinking of going into satellite navigation.

The 68-year-old says he has been talking to car companies about becoming the voice of their GPS systems.

"I think it would be good if you're looking for directions and you heard my voice saying something like, 'take a left at the next street, no, a right, you know what, just go straight'," he said.

"I probably shouldn't do it because whichever way I go, I always end up in one place - on Lonely Avenue."

Again, old news, weird:

From wikipedia

Quote:


Sigurd Eysteinsson (aka Sigurd the Mighty, ruled circa 875–92[1]) was the second Viking Earl of Orkney, who succeeded his brother Rognvald Eysteinsson. He was a leader in the Viking conquest of what is now northern Scotland. Bizarrely, he was killed by the severed head of one his enemies, Máel Brigte, who may have been mórmaer of Moray.[1] Sigurd strapped Máel Brigte's head to his saddle as a trophy of conquest, and as he rode, Máel Brigte's teeth grazed against Sigurd's leg. The wound became infected and Sigurd died.[2]

...

According to the Orkneyinga saga, towards the end of his reign, Sigurd challenged a native ruler, Máel Brigte the Bucktoothed, to a 40-man-a-side battle. Treacherously, Sigurd brought 80 men to the fight. Máel Brigte was defeated and beheaded. Sigurd strapped the head to his saddle as a trophy, but as Sigurd rode, Máel Brigte's buck-tooth scratched his leg. The leg became inflamed and infected, and as a result Sigurd died.

A man who impersonated a Qantas engineer has had his jail sentence extended for providing fake character references.

Timothy McCormack was sentenced to at least two years jail for impersonating a QANTAS maintenance engineer.

Between 2006 and 2007, he signed off on a number of aircraft safety inspections.

Today, his sentence has been extended by at least eight months, for fabricating evidence and trying to pervert the course of justice.

The district court in Sydney heard that he provided fake references at his sentencing hearing, including one from a school counsellor and another from a football official.

Police in Paris are dealing with traffic anarchy after the mayors of two feuding suburbs declared the same busy street one-way - but in opposite directions.

There was chaos among bemused drivers at the point where the rival systems converged, with all traffic forced down one side road.

The confusion followed a decision by the Mayor of Levallois who wanted to introduce a one-way system to free up traffic through his borough.

Fearing an overspill into his district, the Mayor of Clichy, Gilles Catoire, brought in a one-way system running the opposite direction.

The local prefect, representing the French state, has issued a decree ordering the immediate return of two-way traffic in Clichy, accusing its Mr Catoire of provoking serious disorder.

Mr Catoire is refusing to back down, saying he will challenge the decision in court.

Busted For Slapping Stranger's Crying Child
Georgia man, 61, threatened to "shut that baby up" at Walmart

SEPTEMBER 2--Meet Roger Stephens. The Georgia man, 61, was shopping Monday morning at a Walmart in Stone Mountain when he crossed paths with Sonya Matthews and her two-year-old daughter Paige. The child was crying, which apparently greatly perturbed Matthews. "If you don't shut that baby up I will shut her up for you," Stephens warned Matthews, according to a Gwinnett County Police Department report. Moments later, Stephens acted on his threat, slapping Paige "across the face approximately four or five times." Though the child "started crying and screaming" after being struck, Stephens told Matthews, "See, I told you I would shut her up." After police were summoned, Stephens told a cop that the child was crying "and he just slapped her," according to the report. Stephens was arrested for felony cruelty to children and booked into the Gwinnett County Detention Center, where he is being held without bond. Paige sustained "slight redness to the face," but was otherwise unharmed. (3 pages)

A Pennsylvania history buff who recreates firearms from old wars accidentally fired a 2-pound cannonball through the wall of his neighbor's home. William Maser, 54, fired a cannonball Wednesday evening outside his home in Georges Township that ricocheted and hit a house 400 yards away. The cannonball, about two inches in diameter, smashed through a window and a wall before landing in a closet. Authorities said nobody was hurt.

What is the world coming to when the old dead-fish routine doesn't work even in Darwin. :headshake:

Quote:
Darwin police say a man they caught drink-driving last night tried to give officers a dead fish.

Officers were called to a service station at Casuarina just after midnight and say the 44-year-old man was visibly drunk.

Duty Superintendent Rob Farmer says the man "stumbled" out of the car and tried to talk to police before producing the dead fish.

"I'm told it was a saratoga, not a very good one either, only about 30 centimetres long apparently," he said.

"We don't know why he produced it and where he got it from. But yeah, he was intent on showing it to them."

Police say the man later recorded a blood alcohol reading of 0.235 per cent.

Superintendent Farmer says he is unsure what happened to the fish.

"As far as I know, it's still with the car now," he said.

"I don't know whether there were other people there who may have been able to take care of the fish or whether he's going to have a surprise in his vehicle when he gets back to it.

"It's not a good idea to keep dead fish in your car."

The man is due to appear in court today along with another alleged high-range drink-driver who had only just been released on bail after crashing a stolen car.

Police say the man went drinking again, stole a ute, backed it into a parked car and later crashed it into a moving car, before ending up in a stormwater drain near Darwin's CBD.

The 28-year-old has been refused bail, and police say he did not have a licence to begin with.

Women freed from 'fake Big Brother house'

Turkish military police have stormed a villa in Istanbul to free nine women who were tricked into appearing on an online pornography site.

The women thought they had been recruited for a Big Brother-style reality television show.

They had signed a contract promising they would have no contact with their families and agreeing to pay a hefty fine if they left the show within two months.

But instead of appearing on TV, photos of the scantily-clad women were distributed on a website that charged viewers to see the photos on their mobile phones.

Most of the women alleged they had been held against their will.

Turkish prosecutors are now preparing charges against those responsible.
