Bogus dentist accused of kissing buttocks of woman with toothache

 

A 47-year-old man has been accused of posing as a dentist, treating a woman for a toothache and kissing her buttocks after administering an injection, according to a Hollywood police report.

 

John Collazos was arrested Monday and charged with practicing dental hygiene without a license in a Hollywood case stemming from November 2010. He was also arrested in September for practicing dentistry without a license in Davie.

 

Police said that Collazos treated the unidentified woman in an apartment in the 2000 block of Fillmore Street on Nov. 19, 2010, and charged about $65 for the services.

 

The Hollywood apartment had a waiting room area and was fully equipped with dental equipment, the woman told police.

 

Collazos allegedly examined her mouth and applied a paste to relieve the pain. He then administered an injection in the woman's buttocks to alleviate the toothache and then kissed her buttocks, the report said.

 

He also inappropriately touched her genitals, police said.

 

Collazos was released Tuesday on $1,000 bail.

Angler dies after swallowing fish

 

A Brazilian angler died after a fish he had just caught swam down his throat and choked him to death, according to reports.

 

The man was fishing with friends on a beach in Icapui, in Brazil's northeastern state of Ceara, when he reeled in a small sole fish, according to police.

The fishermen then reportedly made a bizarre bet with his friends that he would be able to hold the slippery fish between his teeth for a minute.

But no sooner had he put the fish into his mouth that it escaped and swam down his throat, getting lodged in the man's windpipe.

Despite suffocating, the angler managed to get to his car and drive to a hospital two miles away.

But when he arrived there at 11am on Sunday he collapsed and died before doctors could save him.

Icapui's police chief Carlos Alberto said medics eventually removed the fish but it was already too late.

He said: "It was a silly thing to do, but he didn't deserve to die because of it."

On Tuesday morning the wife of the man who died after a fish swam down his throat posted a message on a social networking site saying her only consolation was that she was the best wife a husband could have, local media reported.

She wrote: "Only one thing comforts my heart, that I was the best wife and friend that I could have been. The best woman that I could be, there, in every hour and in every moment."

Cheese fire causes traffic meltdown in Norway tunnel

 

OSLO (Reuters) - A truckload of burning cheese has closed a road tunnel in Arctic Norway for the last six days.

Some 27 metric tons of flaming brown cheese (brunost), a Norwegian delicacy, blocked off a three-km (1.9 mile) tunnel near the northern coastal town of Narvik when it caught fire last Thursday. The fire was finally put out on Monday.

"This high concentration of fat and sugar is almost like petrol if it gets hot enough," said Viggo Berg, a policeman.

Brown cheese is made from whey, contains up to 30 percent fat and has a caramel taste.

"I didn't know that brown cheese burns so well," said Kjell Bjoern Vinje at the Norwegian Public Roads Administration.

He added that in his 15 years in the administration, this was the first time cheese had caught fire on Norwegian roads.

Berg said that no one was injured in the fire, only one other vehicle was in the area at the time and that the accident had luckily happened close to one of the tunnel's exits.

The tunnel will closed for repairs for at least a week.

Found this french article here.

 

A Johannesburg court dismissed a complaint filed by a man who wanted to sue the bank where his wife worked, because she had fallen in love with a colleague, reported Saturday South African newspaper Beeld.

 

"The complaint of Mr. Ramnath Dessie is bizarre. He argues that (the bank) FirstRand is one way or the other responsible for the pain and suffering caused by the liaison of his wife, "found Nigel Willis, quoted by the newspaper Afrikaans.

 

"I know that litigants can be imaginative in Johannesburg, but this complaint deserves a special award," he added, noting that the South African law does not provide for such a case.

 

"I'm not completely sure that in this country we can allow people to claim damages because people fall in love at work. It happens all the time! "

 

Mr. Ramnath's case, who believed that FirstRand should be held responsible because it is by working that his wife met her lover, was dismissed and ordered to pay the legal costs incurred by the Bank.

Flight to Caribbean diverted due to smoking family

 

A Sunwing flight from Halifax bound for the Dominican Republic was forced to land in Bermuda Friday night because three passengers refused to stop smoking on the plane, CBC News has learned.

 

The Bermuda police service said they were called to the airport around 9:55 p.m. local time to meet Sunwing flight 454, which was on its way to Punta Cana.

 

Police said they boarded the plane and arrested the three smokers.

 

"It appeared to be a father, a mother and a son. The parents appear to be in their 50s. The son, I believe, is around 22 or so," said acting Insp. Paul Simons.

 

Dave Shellington's wife was on the plane. He said she texted him to tell the story.

 

"They were smoking in the plane's washroom and when they came out they got into a little bit of an argument with the attendants. They couldn't say where they put their cigarette butts and that caused a bit of a commotion, I guess. From there it kind of escalated with the father, the mother and the son," said Shellington

 

He said his wife said there was a lot of screaming and swearing.

 

Simons said he couldn't confirm the family's nationality or if they had also been drinking, but said they were co-operative when they were removed from the plane by police.

 

They were taken to the police station and have since been released on bail.

 

The flight was grounded overnight and the crew and passengers were put up in a hotel.

 

"The flight was also grounded so that a Canadian-trained mechanic could inspect the aircraft for undetermined reasons," Simons said.

 

The flight was rescheduled to leave on Saturday.

 

The family has been ordered not to leave the island and their passports and travel documents have been seized by the Bermuda police.

 

They have not been officially charged.

So, unless you've been living under a rock for the last week, you'll be aware that Boston was completely locked down while a huge manhunt took place. Everything was shut... except for resources that the police considered essential at the time. And what do the police consider essential?

 

Dunkin' Donuts.

 

Really, you couldn't make it up...

Original article in french here. I sent it through Google translate. so it may "read funny". Bigger is better in the States it seems ....

 

One lucky winner will walk away with the modest sum of $ 590 million that was put into a lottery game in the United States, making it the largest jackpot ever won in the history of a single person, organizers announced on their website.

 

Americans rushed in crowds to buy tickets in supermarkets and other small shops, for this prize winning record after no one had won 364 million at stake in the previous draft.

 

If there was no winner Saturday night, the lottery jackpot would have been put into play for the next draw, reaching nearly a billion dollars.

 

But the buyer of a ticket, this time in Florida, had played 10, 13, 14, 22, 52 and 11 as a bonus number called Po----all, and thus became, Saturday at 23:00 multimillionaire. The odds of winning were about, according to the organizers, one in 175 million.

 

The previous record for the Po----all lottery was a whopping $ 587 million in November 2012.

 

This lottery has seen its turnover - and therefore the amount of earnings - increase significantly when California has authorized the sale of tickets in April. Each state has indeed the power to authorize or prohibit the sale of tickets. California was the 43rd (of 50) to do so.

 

This amount is the second largest jackpot in the history of lotteries and other lotteries in the world. The biggest jackpot ever won was $ 656 million, won the Mega Millions lottery in March 2012, but was shared between three winning tickets.

 

In the United States, lottery winnings are subject to tax.

Tasmanian Dad accidentally films his partner with his teenage son

 

A Tasmanian man set up a video camera to capture paranormal activity instead filmed his partner engaging in a sexual relationship with his teenage son, a court has heard.

 

The 28-year-old woman pleaded guilty to five counts of having sexual intercourse with a minor in Tasmania's Supreme Court, The Mercury reports.

 

Crown Prosecutor Jackie Hartnett told the court in October last year the woman had gone to the boy's room to discuss his driving lessons, but this had eventually led to intercourse.

 

The following day, the woman's de facto partner set up a video camera in an effort to capture evidence of paranormal activity in the house, but had forgotten to turn it off.

 

When he returned reviewed the footage, he saw his son and the woman kissing and cuddling. She downplayed the incident when he quizzed her about it, but his son confessed that they had sex three times.

 

The man called the police and the woman admitted during a video recorded interview to having sex with the boy twice and admitted knowing he was sixteen. She was ashamed and embarrassed by her conduct, but mistakenly thought 16 was the age of consent.

 

Ms Hartnett told the court that in the following weeks the woman followed the boy to another part of the state where they had sex several times in a hotel room.

 

She has been remanded in custody and is due to be sentenced on Monday.

Vatican withdraws medals with Jesus spelled as 'Lesus'

 

The Vatican has withdrawn thousands of gold, silver and bronze medals minted to commemorate the first year of the pontificate of Pope Francis after discovering it had misspelled Jesus.

 

A Latin inscription around the edge of the medals minted to mark the first year of Pope Francis's pontificate referred to Jesus as "Lesus."

 

The medals, produced in gold, silver and bronze by the Italian State Mint, went on sale in official Vatican stores on Tuesday, but were withdrawn two days later after the error was noticed, the Vatican Publishing House said.

 

The inscription is Francis's papal motto, taken from a meditation by the eighth-century English monk the Venerable Bede, from a passage of the Gospel in which Jesus calls St. Matthew to be an apostle.

 

The motto on the Vatican website reads: "Vidit ergo Jesus publicanum, et quia miserando atque eligendo vidit, ait illi, 'Sequere me,'" or "Jesus therefore sees the tax collector, and since he sees by having mercy and by choosing, he says to him, 'follow me.'"

 

Before they were withdrawn, four people purchased medals displaying the error, which could fetch high prices on rare coin markets, Italian media reported.

Train passenger tried to have sex with onboard drinks trolley

 

A train passenger was caught trying to have sex with the on-board drinks trolley after downing a cocktail of alcohol and legal highs.

 

Andrew Davidson attempted the bizarre coupling while shouting "I want to kiss you" at the trolley.

 

Perth Sheriff Court heard on Tuesday that Davidson admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner on the Aberdeen to Glasgow service.

 

The 25-year-old was seen humping the trolley by horrified passengers after his behaviour frightened the rail crew member so much that she ran off.

 

Davidson foisted himself upon the trolley after the staff member became so scared that she ran from the train when it stopped.

 

She ran off leaving Davidson molesting the trolley which contained food, drinks and cash she had taken during the journey from Aberdeen to Glasgow.

 

Davidson's solicitor told Perth Sheriff Court that his client was "not heterosexual" and had gone crazy after taking a "legal high."

 

Fiscal depute Jim Eodanable told the court on Tuesday: "This happened on the train from Dundee to Perth at 5.45 pm. The staff member was serving drinks and snacks from the trolley.

 

"The accused had previously asked to purchase a can of beer from her but had been told she had run out. He approached again and tried to engage her in conversation.

 

"Just prior to arriving in Dundee station he asked if he could kiss her and she said no. This was heard by passengers who were concerned for her safety.

 

"One passenger, who had her daughter with her, decided to keep an eye on the situation. The train stopped and the accused was seen placing his hands on a female passenger leaving the train.

 

Mr Eodanable continued: "The staff member was standing opposite the accused and he grabbed her right arm. He said he was going to kiss her and she broke free."

 

The court was told that Davidson tried to pull her closer and embrace her again but she managed to break free and left the train, leaving her trolley and cash float behind.

 

He said: "The accused was then seen trying to sit on the lap of another female passenger, before falling onto his face. He was rubbing his chest, sticking his tongue out and shouting about what he wanted to do to his boyfriend. He got back to his feet.

 

"He then approached the unattended trolley and started rubbing himself against the trolley.

 

'"The train had moved off and the British Transport Police were waiting for him in Perth. They found him lying face down near the train door. He indicated that he didn't remember any of the incident."

 

Solicitor Grant Bruce, defending, said: "He has no recollection of what happened on the train at all but accepts he behaved in this manner. He was completely intoxicated by alcohol and a legal high. He has now curtailed his social life to a great degree because of this incident.

 

"It is something that has never happened before and is unlikely to ever happen again."

 

Davidson, West Hemming Street, Letham, Angus, admitted causing fear and alarm in Dundee and on a train journey between Dundee and Perth on July 5.

 

He admitted behaving in a threatening or abusive manner, grabbing a staff member's arm and trying to kiss her, shouting and swearing and making sexually offensive remarks and gestures.

 

In a letter to the court, Davidson said: "I really can't remember anything that happened. I am disgusted with my behaviour. I'm very sorry."

 

Sheriff William Wood said: "This was an incident which must have been very distressing for all of those directly affected and the others, including families, who were on the train."

 

He placed Davidson on community payback and ordered him to carry out 100 hours unpaid work.

 

Davidson was not placed on the sex offenders register as the sheriff did not consider the sexual element of the case to be "significant".
