Teacher Joby McGowan is fed up with unrealistic parents who
are quick to accuse him of outrageous things - such as one
parent who claimed he caused a tumor in her second-grader's
brain by using a timer in class. Or another who said that,
at 6 feet 6 inches, he was "too tall" to teach little kids.
After collecting countless snipes from parents, McGowan has
published a book, "Teaching on Poverty Rock," a sarcastic
and self-critical saga about his first year in the district.
It was published in March and this month surfaced on
Amazon.com for $14.95 each. This year, long before they
knew a tell-all book was coming, 24 sets of parents have
advocated for their kids in a spirit of respect and
cooperation. And not once has McGowan been accused of
causing cancer or criticized for being too tall.


For two years, 38-year-old Jian Feng had the luxury of a
beautiful woman at his side. Everything was going perfectly
fine until the couple decided to have a baby. Apparently,
his wife gave birth to a baby girl so ugly that Feng was
"horrified" at the sight of her. Feng immediately assumed
that his trophy wife had been cheating on him with an ugly
fellow. Quick to defend her daughter, his wife admitted to
having $127,000 worth of plastic surgery in South Korea
before they had met. She then produced a picture of how she
used to look and let him have a look. Well, this set Feng
over the edge and not only did he waste no time filing for
divorce, but he also sued her for deceit. He managed to get
$99,700 out of the whole deal.


STOCKHOLM - Amorous couples in quick need of protection can
dial the telephone number 696969 and the condom ambulance
will come to their rescue. The ambulance, a white van with
a large red condom with wings as a logo, will deliver them
a packet of 10 prophylactics. "We need to increase the
usage of condoms," said Carl Osvald, marketing manager for
the Swedish Organization for Sex Education, the non-
governmental organization behind the initiative. "It is 50
percent about pregnancy and 50 percent about sexually
transmitted diseases." The service will run until June 25
and is available between four in the afternoon and nine at
night. "We need to change attitudes to condoms," Osvald
said. "If we need to get out in to the bedrooms to make
things better we will do it."
