6-legged deer gets new home after dog attack

A six-legged deer found in north Georgia after being attacked by a dog has a new home. An Athens woman with a permit to keep unique animals in captivity has agreed to take the unusual deer. The animal was found July 18 near Armuchee and underwent surgery to repair its minor injuries.

Berry College animal science professor George Gallagher took the deer after its surgery. He said he is hoping to avoid making the deer a "circus sideshow." He said the animal's condition prevents it from surviving in the wild. The fawn has two complete pelvises and two tails. One of the tails had to be amputated. Gallagher said the fawn has a condition that is similar to Siamese twins in humans.

Canadian woman gives birth to 18th child

A Romanian immigrant has given birth to her 18th child in British Columbia, making her the province's most prolific mother in 20 years. Proud dad Alexandru Ionce said Saturday that his 44-year-old wife, Livia, gave birth on July 22. Their daughter Abigail weighed in at 7 pounds, 12 ounces (3.5 kilograms).

"We never planned how many children to have. We just let God guide our lives, you know, because we strongly believe life comes from God and that's the reason we did not stop the life," Alexandru Ionce said.

The couple immigrated to Canada from Romania in 1990 and now live in Abbotsford. Their 17 other children range in age from 20 months to 23 years.

Ionce said he did not know if the couple would have more children. The family now has 10 girls and eight boys.

"We would have liked a boy to be even," he said. "We thank God all of them are healthy and happy."

Guests at party mistake police for strippers

Police say two officers who responded to complaints about a raucous weekend party in western Germany were mistaken for male strippers by the female guests.

Simmern police spokesman Bernd Hoffmann says neighbors called police around 12.45 a.m. Sunday to complain about noise from a birthday party in their building.

A round of applause from the apartment resident — who had just turned 30 — and her friends greeted two officers who went to investigate. Hoffmann said Monday that "they thought the policemen were dressed like that because they were strippers. It took them a while to realize they were real police officers."

Hoffmann says the women had not ordered strippers but thought someone had sent them as a birthday surprise.

The incident resulted in no arrests.

Piglet with monkey's face

Villagers were shocked after a monkey-like piglet was born in China.

Curious locals flocked to the home of owner Feng Changlin after news of the piglet spread in Fengzhang village, Xiping township.

"It's hideous. No one will be willing to buy it, and it scares the family to even look at it!" Feng told Oriental Today.

He says the piglet looks just like a monkey, with two thin lips, a small nose and two big eyes. Its rear legs are also much longer than its forelegs, causing it to jump instead of walk.

Feng's wife said the monkey-faced piglet was one of five newborns of a sow which the family had raised for nine years.

"My God, it was so scary. I didn't known what it was. I was really frightened," she said.

"But our son likes to play with it, and he stopped us from getting rid of it. He even feeds it milk."

Neighbours have suggested the couple keep the piglet to see how it looks as it matures.

Bambi Threesome, Gay Dolphins Highlight Animal Erotica Show

Consider the sex life of the spotted hyena, depicted in three shocking photographs at New York's Museum of Sex (MoSex).

You'll find it difficult not to notice that both the male and female have penises. The female, it turns out, has a scrotal sack too. For reproductive purposes, the male transfers his sperm through the female's penis, which doubles as her clitoris.

``When the male inserts himself into the female, it looks like a mid-air refueling,'' Joan Roughgarden, a professor of evolutionary biology at Stanford University, said in an interview.

Roughgarden and other scholars were enlisted by the museum to help curate and lend a scholarly tone to ``The Sex Lives of Animals,'' which aims to be more than a ``Wild Kingdom'' peep show.

The exhibition, which opened this week, is believed to be the most comprehensive and uncensored look at animal mating habits since the University of Oslo's Natural History Museum staged a show on gay animal sex in 2006.

With this fake wife, I divorce thee

KOLKATA, India (Reuters) - An Indian man who took an impersonator to
court to get a divorce faces legal action after his real wife found
out, lawyers said Friday.

Sanjib Saha presented a woman as his wife in a lower court in the
eastern city of Kolkata this month. Both said they sought a mutual
divorce, something the court granted immediately.

Saha's real wife was then asked to leave the marital home. She has
since appealed the ruling at a higher court, charged her husband with
cheating and the original divorce was suspended.

"The case exposed the legal loopholes in our system," Kaushik Chanda, lawyer of Saha's real wife, said.

Let priests watch porn, says star

The Pope should allow Catholic priests to watch porn to stop them penting up their sexual urges an adult film star has said.

Porn star Belladonna, 27, has offered 300 of her own films to the Catholic church in Australia for distribution to priests.

She also has offered to donate some of her own time to help set up a
'meaningful set of exercises for priests to help them deal with sexual
tension and stress'.

The star of 250 X-rated films is in Australia at the same time as the
Pope -- but to promote the Sydney Sexpo rather than the message of God.

"The Pope has indicated he might apologise to victims of sexual abuse
and that is a positive thing to do," the heavily tattooed Belladonna
said.

"But unless he follows up with some practical advice that addresses the
sexual needs and desires of clergy, the problem will simply continue.

"Church clergy are at a crisis because they get no real street-level
sex education but are expected to ply the streets to deliver their
spiritual message."

The Eros Foundation - Australia's national adult retail and
entertainment association - says the sex industry could help the
clergy.

Retirees to have gay old time

A retirement village catering exclusively for gays, lesbians and transgenders has got the go-ahead in Australia.

The £12 million Linton Estate, will feature a tennis court, bowling green, open-air theatre and a multi-million dollar leisure centre with a pool, spa, gymnasium, cafe, restaurant, piano room and business centre.

Despite vocal opposition from community activists construction of the 120 two and three-bedroom units is expected to start early next year.

Managing director Peter Dickson said the village would suit older members of the gay and lesbian community.

"Whether we're in a relationship or whether we're single, we want to be surrounded by friends," Mr Dickson said.

"I wanted Linton Estate to be different to other retirement facilities and this has now come about.

"It's a wonderful achievement for all."

The estate is near Daylesford, which has one of the largest homosexual populations in rural Australia.

Donkeys to spice up sex lives

Feral Australian donkeys are usually given a wide berth but now their skins are to be used as an aphrodisiac for Chinese women.

A Hong Kong company that specialises in traditional medicines is trying to locate up to a million donkey skins every year. Usually it gets them from South America but now it's seeking the fertile skins of some of the 300,000 wild donkeys ranging the Northern Territory.

Sydney-based exporter John Fleming is applying to hunt feral donkeys in the Northern Territory to sell overseas.

"They want the skins, but not for leather. Apparently there is a certain extract in the skin they can use for traditional medicine," he said.

Chinese traditional healers use donkey skins to extract Ejiao, which is used to make Nu Bao, a traditional Chinese medicine that supposedly improves vitality, increases a woman's libido and help with period pain.

"They're after a lot of donkey skins. As much as they can get their hands on," Mr Fleming said.

"It seems there are a lot of feral donkeys out there and people are basically shooting them for sport."

The woman then walked out of the room and returned three hours later to check on what she thought was an unusually quiet sleeping husband.Police refused to comment.
The St. Petersburg Emergency Services Ministry said a private rescue service removed the man's body.Video on the television channel's Web site showed emergency workers sawing away the side panels of a couch to remove a man in his underwear lying headfirst between the cushions.

Woman Finds 8-Foot Snake in Washer

GORHAM, Maine (July 17) - A woman got the shock of her life when she
found an 8-foot snake mixed in with clothes in her washing machine. The
snake, identified as a reticulated python, somehow got into the water
pipes of Mara Ranger's 1800s-era farmhouse and slithered into the
machine.

Flight attendant wins $1.2 million in suit

A federal court jury in San Francisco awarded more than $1.2 million in damages Thursday to a former American Airlines flight attendant who said the airline concocted reasons to fire her after she complained about an assault by a passenger.

Airlines fired Greta Anderson in 2005 at least in part because of the company's belief that she was mentally disabled, even though she was able to do the job she had held since 1976. The jury awarded her $238,000 for wage losses and $1 million for emotional distress.

she disobeyed supervisors' orders by repeatedly asking a psychiatrist for a copy of his report that found her unfit for duty. Company lawyers were unavailable for comment late Thursday, but Anderson's attorney,Gregory Redmond, said the airline's position during the trial left little doubt that it would appeal the verdict.

Anderson, 57, lives in Reno and was based in San Jose as a flight attendant. In trial testimony and an interview, she said her problems with the airline started in May 1995 when a passenger frustrated by flight delays kicked her in the back. The passenger turned out to be the wife of a French diplomat, Anderson said, and when she tried to get American Airlines to do something about it, the company turned on her instead.

Man collects $800 a month renting vacant house he doesn't own

SILVER SPRINGS SHORES - Until Wednesday, Carl Kopsho had no idea that
the man who collected $800 from him every month was not legally his
landlord.

When sheriff's deputies told him he was living in the house without
permission from the owner, Kopsho was confused. Then it all started to
make sense.

Deputies say a man pretended to own a house at 15
Olive Drive and rented it to Kopsho, 34, and his girlfriend, Heather
Peteck, 23, without the knowledge of the owner, who lives in New York.

Egypt's men blame women for harassment

Nearly two-thirds of Egyptian men admit to having sexually harassed women in the most populous Arab country, and most say women themselves are to blame for
their maltreatment, a survey shows.

The forms of harassment reported by Egyptian men, whose country attracts millions of
foreign tourists each year, include touching or ogling women, shouting sexually explicit remarks, and exposing their genitals to women.

"Sexual harassment has become an overwhelming and very real problem experienced
by all women in Egyptian society, often on a daily basis," said the report by the Egyptian Centre for Women's Rights.

Egyptian women and female visitors frequently complain of persistent sexual
harassment on Egyptian streets, despite the socially conservative nature of this traditional Muslim society.

The behaviour could have repercussions on Egypt's tourism industry, a major foreign income earner, with 98 per cent of foreign women saying they had experienced
harassment in the country, the survey said.

Oops! Windows not tinted

She thought the windows were "tinted."

An anonymous topless woman featured in yesterday's paper said she thought she was shielded from view by tinted glass at last Saturday's Blue Jays game at the Rogers Centre.

The woman was clearly visible through a hotel window that oversees the field and Toronto Sun photographer Dave Abel captured her shapely image.

"The (stag hosts) told me that no one could see through it," said the former SUNshine girl.

The 26-year-old grad student, who wishes to remain anonymous, said she has been working as a hostess for a few years to pay for school.
