Pup love

A New Zealand mother has begun breastfeeding her Staffordshire terrier pup, saying she did not want to waste the milk after her own daughter switched to being bottle fed. Kura Tumanako, from the small North Island town of Hastings, said she sees nothing wrong with breastfeeding the dog as she wants it to protect her baby girl as the pair grow up.
Tumanako, whose baby Honey Pauline Philomina Flo was born on August 29, and who is now pregnant again, said she did not care what people thought about her breastfeeding the pup.
Canine affection!

 


‘Porn’ judge

A Romanian female judge, who was accused of starring in a porn movie, has resigned.
Simona Lungu, 36, from the Bucharest Municipal Court, denied the allegations claiming she was framed.
But the Superior Council for Magistrates refused to clear her name after forensic experts concluded she was in the X-rated movie. The movie, called Secrets of Seduction, was shot in Denmark but a copy got into the hands of Romanian justice officials.
Lungu insisted she did not appear in the film and that computer wizardry had been used to attach her face to a porn actress's body.
Justice in trouble!
Canada’s ‘Strippergate'

Canada's Immigration Minister is being investigated after it was revealed she gave a stripper a special visa to stay in the country. It has already been dubbed "Strippergate" by the Canadian media.
For two days the Opposition has been hammering the Government over a special discretionary visa issued by the Immigration Minister. The visa went to a Romanian stripper who had volunteered on the minister's re-election campaign. The minister insists she broke no rules.
Stripped of reputation!		 Chasing the mayor

A mayor who set up a direct hotline for people to call with civic problems is asking bored housewives to stop inviting him round for sex. Cristian Anghel, mayor of Baia Mare in Romania, claims he had more than a hundred calls in the last week from women declaring their love for him.
He said many come straight out and even invite him round for sex. "The number was meant for complaints but some women took it as a sex hotline. I hear declarations of love and some have even made erotic proposals to me.”
Hotline hotting up!
Right to toilet!

Hygiene experts warn that the long-held silence over the taboo subject of toilets is taking its toll on global health and holding back developing countries. About 400 delegates, including town planners, environment and hygiene experts and toilet designers from around the world are gathered in Beijing for the fourth World Toilet Summit.
The conference's organiser, Jack Sim, says toilets are a forgotten human right and the silence over the issue needs to be broken. "The entire toilet movement is taking on the world," he said.		 Sorry loser

The president of a soccer club in Moldova has been fined after jumping into his jeep and trying to run over a referee who awarded a penalty against his team. He drove the car after the astonished referee for several minutes until the latter climbed up into the stands.
The irate president was fined the equivalent of $A2,500 for the incident and the match abandoned with the opposition awarded an automatic 3-0 win.
Sport or spectacle?

 

Still alive

Followers of a Hindu saint rioted in eastern India after he failed to die at the anointed time.
More than 15,000 people turned up at the Sriguru Ashram at Kharagaon in Orissa to see the priest 'ascend to heaven' between 6am and noon.
He had declared a few days ago that he would attain 'ichha mrityu' or death by his own will. A huge police contingent was deployed in the area by the district authorities to control the crowds.
The saint is said to have performed religious rituals at the break of dawn before sitting down to meditate.
When the meditation and prayer session continued beyond the scheduled time and the guru was discovered still alive the onlookers began to hurl abuse at him and later turned violent.
As for the saint he sought public forgiveness for not being able to die!

Tailpiece

A couple, both age 78, went to a sex therapist’s office.
The doctor asked, “What can I do for you?”
The man said, “Will you watch us have sex?”
The doctor looked puzzled, but agreed.
When the couple finished, the doctor said, “There’s nothing wrong with the way you have sex,” and charged them $50.
This happened several weeks in a row. The couple would make an appointment, have sex with no problems, pay the doctor, then leave.
Finally the doctor asked, “Just exactly what are you trying to find out?”
“We’re not trying to find out anything. She’s married and we can’t go to her house. I’m married and we can’t go to my house. The Holiday Inn charges $90. The Hilton charges $108. Embassy Suites charges $ 147. We do it here for $50, and get $43 back from Medicare.”
