Farty passenger forces flight to make emergency landing
By Fox News
February 18, 2018 | 5:53pm

A pilot made an emergency landing after a fight broke out over a passenger who allegedly refused to stop passing gas.

Two Dutchmen sitting next to the flatulent passenger reportedly asked the man to stop, but he refused and continued to break wind aboard the Transavia Airlines flight from Dubai to Amsterdam Schiphol.

The budget airline crew allegedly did not help the passengers after their complaints, Metro reports, leading to a fight between the men. Despite a warning from the pilot, the altercation continued and forced the airplane to be diverted to Vienna Airport, where it made an emergency landing.

Police boarded the plane once it landed and removed two women and two men whom the pilot reported as “passengers on the rampage,” Metro reports.  ...   More at NY Post

AUSTIN, Texas — Partygoers apparently hoping to catch a glimpse of nude sunbathers crowded on one side of a floating barge, prompting the ship to capsize and dump all 60 people into Lake Travis.

Two people were hospitalized with minor injuries Sunday after the rented double-decker barge sank near Hippie Hollow, a lakeside park and the only public nude beach in Texas.

What men will do to see boobs is absolutely incredible.
You cannot "COEXIST" with people who want to kill you.
If they kill their own with no conscience, there is nothing to stop them from killing you.

As the redhead feminist beauty yelled at me, Yes! Damn it! I have boobs and a vigina! Get over it!

She was wearing shorts and her legs had red hair. It mesmerized me. I guess I got lost in thought and didn't pay attention to how long I was staring at her legs.

I don't think naked people on a beach would make me tip a boat. It might be interesting. But come on.

My dad was taking six of us to Mass one fine Sunday.  About a block before we got to church, a woman was mowing her lawn attired in shorts and a bikini top.  She bent over to pick up some grass clippings about 100 feet before we reached her home.  As she bent over, her string bikini top busted off exposing all of her upper body.  My dad ran into the curb.

We did arrive at Mass on time.  Poor dad was red faced.

Police chase naked man riding quad bike the wrong way along motorway
It's a bum rap, copper

A MAN in America has redefined the term ‘naked bike’ after attempting to evade police on a quad bike (ATV) while in a state of undress.

The chase, which took place yesterday (February 25) near Kansas City, Missouri lasted for an hour and involved a section of Interstate, where the ATV-rider drove into oncoming traffic.

The pursuit ended near former Sam’s Town Casino, according to local news reports.   ...

Man's explanation for naked ATV chase in KC is detailed in charges: 'No stopping him'
By Glenn E. Rice And Ian Cummings
February 26, 2018 03:41 PM
Updated February 26, 2018 05:59 PM

A man who led authorities on a high-speed pursuit Sunday afternoon along a stretch of Interstate 435 in the Northland while he was naked on an ATV has been charged with burglary and tampering, according to Clay County prosecutors.

Johnathon A. Menth, 27, of Excelsior Springs also faces charges of property damage and sexual misconduct in connection with the incident, part of which was captured on video that has been viewed more than 2.3 million times on Facebook.

But some elements of the incident, including the reason why Menth had no clothes on, remain a mystery. A statement taken by a Kansas City police detective records Menth's explanation that he was high on drugs, "freaked out" when surrounded by police and was in "flight mode."   ...

Man Force-Fed Goat Cocaine And Booze, Cops Say
Jailed for animal cruelty, perp faces boot from U.S.

FEBRURY 16--A horse trainer is locked up on a felony animal cruelty charge after Georgia cops obtained video showing him force-feeding a goat cocaine and whiskey.

Deputies with the Gwinnett County Sheriff’s Office yesterday arrested Sergio Palomares-Guzman, 28, at the farm in the city of Grayson where he lives and works.

Pictured at right, Palomares-Guzman is being held in the county jail in lieu of $11,200 bond. However, he is also subject to an Immigration and Customs Enforcement detainer, apparently due to his status as an alien.

About 20 years ago I had a student that was Liquored up while under the legal drinking age. He got on a snowmobile buck naked (except for a helmet) and rode down Main street after one of our blizzards. Damn near ended up in the canal, before they caught him. When asked why he stated that it just seemed like a good idea at the time.

Australian Teen Left Disabled For Life After Swallowing Slug As Dare
 International Business Times
Shreesha Ghosh
6 hrs ago

The mother of a former Australian rugby player, who was paralyzed after swallowing a slug on a challenge at a birthday party, is fighting the administration after they essentially cut his advantages for medicinal care, reports said Wednesday.

Sam Ballard, 19 years old at the time, ate a garden slug at a 2010 birthday party that everybody at first thought was safe and harmless, however later caused the high schooler to become paralyzed and unable to convey or care for himself.

The slug, which Ballard swallowed, was carrying an uncommon disease called "Angiostrongyliasis," otherwise called rodent lungworm. Slugs usually secure the parasite when they ingest defecation from contaminated rats, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).   ...

Reports recently said that Ballard’s insurance benefits package from Australia's National Disability Insurance Scheme was recently cut down from 492,000 Australian dollars ($383,700) to about AU$135,000 ($105,000).  ...

After the administration cut down on Ballard’s benefits, the officials did not call or disclose to the teen’s mother that the financing was cut but allegedly sent her an instant message suggesting her to look into her child’s record for his most recent subsidizing result, which ultimately revealed the reduction.   ...

Hartford Police Say Man Drove Stolen Car to Court To Face Stolen Car Charge

A Hartford man due in court to answer a charge of stealing a car apparently stole a car to get to court, police said.

Jonathan Rivera, 25, was at Superior Court in Hartford on Wednesday to answer a charge of first-degree larceny and tampering with a motor vehicle involving the theft of a car in Hartford on Feb. 17.

As he waited to appear before a judge, Hartford Parking Authority agents scanning license plates for parking violators got a hit on a white 2014 Subaru Legacy parked near the courthouse. The license plates had been reported stolen and the car itself had been stolen from Newington because a key fob was left in it, police said....

The mother and daughter married in 2016

An Oklahoma mother who married her daughter after the pair "hit it off" has been sentenced to two years in prison.

Patricia Ann Spann, 45, pleaded guilty to the felony offence of incest and admitted wedding her biological daughter, Misty Velvet Dawn Spann, 26.

The two married in March 2016 after same-sex marriage became legal in the state.

Investigators later discovered Patricia Ann Spann had previously wed her son.
