Closet-minded people
Attacked by a thief, a 30 y.o. Tokyo woman with a 6-month-old baby in her arms was rather close to get the man caught (1). So what really happened?
The thief forced his way into her apartment, she made him a cup of tea, then listened sympathetically to his life story for about 20 minutes. Entertained, she gave him 10000 yen ($100) then ran outside to call the Police from a pay phone, presumably leaving the baby with the thief. I am just as confused as you are.
This is not the only time Japanese has been in the news with a woman in a very strange situation. At the end of May, 2008, we learned about a 58 y.o. woman who lived hidden in a small closet in a 58 y.o man's house FOR A YEAR (2). That man became suspicious after food disappeared from the fridge, so he installed a surveillance system, filming her as she walked around his house in his absence. I always suspected that that Japanese horror flick with the house that kills, taking the shape of a woman, was based on reality. Was that woman also living a secret fantasy? Were they, unbeknownst to him, masturbating simultaneously? Hard to tell. Still, old people in Japan have significant difficulties surviving. Their society sees people who have to depend on others as deadweight, and being unable to provide for yourself is a great shame. Many people die of hunger rather than apply to be on welfare and when they apply they are often rejected (3).
If you think that only Japanese women can inspire horror movies, you're wrong. David Joe Limones (4), 27, from Newburgh, NY, carved a hole into a 22 y.o. woman's couch and hid in it, waited for her to come home, to emerge from there as she sat on him, while talking to a friend on the phone. Apparently, she was on the phone with a friend because she felt he might be hiding there and she had filed a complaint about him before (???!!!).
This reminds me of one of my favourite beer commercials. At a costume party, a sexy blonde sits on a comfy couch. Two weirdoes in costumes sat by her side, trying to seduce her. She's not interested, and changes positions several times. Eventually, she stands up departing, leaving the two bozos behind. As she goes, we see that the couch was actually some happy dude in a couch costume. He then opens up a beer, the source of all his power, intellect, inspiration and creativity.
Feeling the couch moving underneath you is bad enough, but having a baby bat in your 34FF bra could make you feel sorry for disturbing it. At least that's what Abbie Hawkins, 19, of Norwich, UK said.
"It looked cosy and comfortable and I was sorry for disturbing it," she said.
She was sitting at her desk at work when she decided to investigate the strange movements in her underwear. "I put my hand down my bra and pulled out a cuddly little bat. Perhaps I should have left it there and given it a good home."
"That shocked me very much at the time, but it scuttled off under the desk into the dark. I was shaking from head to toe.
"It looked quite cosy and comfortable in there so it was quite rude of me to take it out.
"When I realised it was a bat the first thing that occurred to me was how did it get in there.
"I felt quite sorry for it. Perhaps I should have left it there and given it a good home.
"I did not notice anything as I put my bra on. The night before I had had one or two drinks and I was getting ready quickly.
"The bra was in my drawer but it had been on the washing line the day before.
"When I was driving to work, I felt a slight vibration but I thought it was just my mobile phone in my jacket pocket."
The bat was captured by one of her colleagues and released.
Sometimes, it's news like this that make you want to use the toilet. And if you're in southern India, in the Tamil Nadu state, the government will pay you to use the toilet (5):
It pays to use a toilet in southern India, as residents are earning close to a dollar a month by using public urinals, a scheme launched by authorities to promote hygiene and research in rural areas.
Dozens of people are queuing up to use toilets in Musiri, a remote town in Tamil Nadu state, where authorities have succeeded in keeping street corners clean with the new scheme, The Times of India newspaper said on Sunday.
"In fact, many of us started using toilets for urination only after the ecosan (ecological sanitation) toilets were constructed in the area," said S. Rajasekaran, a truck cleaner.
The urine was also being collected and tested for its efficacy as a crop fertilizer, an official of the state's agricultural university added.
People relieving themselves in the open is a common sight in India's rural towns and villages, as basic sanitation still eludes millions.

Obituary to Christina Applegate chest
We were hit with some very sad news yesterday. Christina Applegate is even thinner. Men all over the world mourn.
Born November 25, 1971 (36 currently), Ms. Applegate rose to fame years ago with her role in Married... with Children, playing the part of a stereotypical dumb and beautiful blonde. She built a loyal following of fans and admirers. It is unlikely that the aforementioned show would have survived as long as it did without her.
Few people know much about career, other than the 10-year-run show. Yet she debuted as a child on TV, playing parts alongside her mother and she appeared in far too many shows to mention here, though wikipedia is certainly one way to find out more about her. She's currently playing the lead role in ABC's sitcom Samantha Who?, Samantha Newly. More recently, we watched her playing an annoyed wife in a short video clip made in support of the Writer's (WGA) Strike; more video clips with her in the list:

She was diagnosed with breast cancer in the beginning of August 2008. She then decided to have double mastectomy, even though her diagnosis involved only one breast. A genetic test confirmed she inherited a genetic fault, BRCA1, from her mother Nancy Priddy, also a breast cancer survivor. This genetic fault significantly increases the chances of developing breast cancer.
She will play the role of Elizabeth Montgomery, who died of colorectal cancer, in Everything is Going to Be Just Fine, due to be released in 2009. In 2003, she was also the spokesperson for Lee National Denim Day, which raises million$ for breast cancer education and research. She will also appear on a television special entitled Stand Up to Cancer on September 5, shown on all the major networks and designed to raise funds for breast cancer research.
The cancer diagnosis and mastectomy came after some stressful, unfortunate events in her life. According to wikipedia,
In October 2001, Applegate married longtime boyfriend Johnathon Schaech, in a small mixed-religion Palm Springs ceremony attended by family and close friends. Schaech filed for divorce in November 2005, citing irreconcilable differences; Applegate and Schaech's final divorce papers were entered August 10 2007 in Los Angeles Superior Court. On July 1, 2008, her close friend and ex-boyfriend Lee Grivas was found dead of an apparent drug overdose.
Some men and even women might think that the attention paid to breasts in the media is over the top and unnecessary. Some men might even think that staring at women breasts is healthy. This is, unfortunately, an urban myth. What is not a myth is that men can get breast cancer as well and half die from it.
