Craig Lynch, My Life On The Run On Facebook

An escaped prisoner has celebrated his first Christmas on the run by taunting police with photos of himself on Facebook. On Christmas Day, Craig 'Lazie' Lynch, 28, even posted a photo of himself adorned in tinsel, making a rude gesture and holding a turkey. Lynch has been on the run from Suffolk's Hollesley Bay Prison since September but rather than hide from police he has regularly updated them on his movements via the social networking service. Below the Christmas Day photo he wrote 'If any of you was doubtin my freedom. Here's proof. How the f*** could i get my hands on a bird like this in jail. ha ha.' The same day he said: 'Wow it really is xmas ha ha i cant beleive i made it f*** the police.' Read more

Beer From Outer Space

A Japanese brewer has come up with a beer that's truly out of this world -- one made with barley grown from a line of seeds that once orbited the Earth aboard the International Space Station. Sapporo Breweries Ltd. said Monday orders had flooded in for the special edition of 250 six-packs of its new "Space Barley." The company says the amber brew was made from the fourth generation of barley seeds that had spent five months in the Russian laboratory on the ISS. "We have received orders from 2,000 people by Sunday. We believe this shows people's interest is high, considering the rather high price for six bottles," said company spokesman Yuki Hattori. Some would call the price astronomical -- a six-pack retails at 10,000 yen (110 dollars), or almost 20 dollars per bottle. Sapporo said it will keep taking orders for the beer until Christmas Eve, December 24, then select the lucky customers through a computer lottery, with proceeds to be donated to educational and research projects.

The Birth Of The Matrix Starts Now

If the idea of turning consumers into true cyborgs sounds creepy, don't tell Intel researchers. Intel's Pittsburgh lab aims to develop brain implants that can control all sorts of gadgets directly via brain waves by 2020. The scientists anticipate that consumers will adapt quickly to the idea, and indeed crave the freedom of not requiring a keyboard, mouse, or remote control for surfing the Web or changing channels. They also predict that people will tire of multi-touch devices such as our precious ....... Click on the link for the full article

The Japs Are Really Sick Of Being Fat

Thanks to an anti-obesity law passed last year, Japanese salarymen across the nation are pulling up their shirts to have their guts measured… and if they're overweight, they face consequences. If you're male and your waist is over 33.5 inches, you're considered fat. If you're female, the limit is 35.4 inches. Thanks to those burgers, you now have to attend mandatory counseling with a physician. For every grotesquely obese employee like yourself, your company gets hit by a ....

Murdered Mans Dead Body Sold To Russian Kebab Shop

Police in Russia have arrested three homeless men suspected of killing a man, eating part of the body and selling other parts to a kebab shop. The men were held in the city of Perm, some 1,400km (870 miles) east of Moscow, local investigators said. Their statement said that the suspects had targeted the 25-year-old victim out of “personal hostility”. It was not clear when the incident occurred. The men - who have not been named - have been charged with murder. The investigators said on Friday that the body of the man had been found in a forested area near a public transport stop in Perm. They said the three men attacked their victim with knives and a hammer. “After carrying out the attack, the corpse was dismembered. Part of it was eaten and part was also sold…..

Are You All F**king Taliban Lovers ???????

A grieving soldier faces a "war crimes" trial for punching a Taliban prisoner suspected of killing his closest comrade. Lance Corporal Lawrence Soni had a "flash of anger" after the fanatic - caught laying a mine - laughed in his face. Days earlier he had been given the heartbreaking news that Cpl Joseph "Etch" Etchells, had been blown up and killed. Fellow troops restrained Soni after he landed a hot-headed thump on the insurgent, knocking him out. The 22-year-old, on his second tour of Afghanistan, was put under investigation and detectives from the Army's Special Investigation Branch are investigating him for a possible "war crime" charge of assaulting a prisoner. The soldier's shocked father Jaspal, 50, said last night: "All Lawrence ever wanted was to fight for his country. "He and Joseph were incredibly close. Lawrence lashed out but in his mind this was the man that had killed his friend. The Army have used him as a scapegoat." If convicted he could spend up to a year in prison and would be thrown out of the Army in disgrace. Last night Colonel Richard Kemp, a former commander of British forces in Afghanistan, said: "This doesn't sound like a war crime. Considering the huge pressures that troops face in Helmand - getting blown up at any time and seeing their friends blown up - we should be in awe of their restraint."

It's Illegal to Be Fat in Japan

Thanks to an anti-obesity law passed last year, Japanese salarymen across the nation are pulling up their shirts to have their guts measured... and if they're overweight, they face consequences. If you're male and your waist is over 33.5 inches, you're considered fat. If you're female, the limit is 35.4 inches. Thanks to those burgers, you now have to attend mandatory counseling with a physician. For every grotesquely obese employee like yourself, your company gets hit by a fine; ergo, they strongly encourage you to lose weight with gifts of gym memberships and pedometers. The goal of all this is to prevent Japan from experiencing an obesity epidemic like so many other industrialized nations. The theory is the less overweight people you have, the lower health care costs will be across the board. Although I think the waistline restrictions are a bit strict (how is a six foot tall foreigner supposed to have a 33-inch waist?), this seems like a good idea overall. America could certainly benefit from less junk in the trunk... but would such a system work here?

Google Pee-View

Google Maps' UK tentacle is today inviting eager virtual travellers to "take a holiday to the Canary Islands" with its all-seeing Street View, and has provided this handy link so you can fly straight to: Playa de las Teresitas, Santa Cruz de Tenerife. Beautiful - although if you rotate the view a bit, you'll get this example of local colour. We have no doubt that Google operatives will rush with Segway-like speed to erase this latest example of the failure of Street View's public decency algorithm, as they did with the shock cases of the Madrid squatting bladder purge and the Birmingham kiddy-piddler outrage. Enjoy the view while you can. Click on the link for the full details

Alien Graveyard Found

Scientists say they have found an extraterrestrial cemetery in central Africa that is at least 500 years old! “There must be 200 bodies buried there and not a single one of them is human,” Dr. Hugo Childs, the Swiss anthropologist, told reporters in Kigali, Rwanda. “They are in amazing state of preservation to be so old,” he added. “Soil and tissue samples indicate the bodies have been in the ground since the 1400s. We’re now trying to figure out where they came from – and what killed them.” Dr. Childs and his colleagues reportedly discovered the alien graveyard on a routine survey of the ......

The Hunt For White October

Colombian drug dealers sick of getting busted by law enforcement have come up with numerous ways to transport their contraband to foreign shores. They used automobiles with secret compartments, human drug "mules," high-speed aircraft and boats. Now, they're trying their luck with submarines.
