Dreamed up phone number leads man to a bride news A British man has met and married a
22-year-old woman after, by his own account, dreaming of her
phone number and then sending her a text message.
David Brown, 24, says he woke up one morning after a night out with friends with a telephone number constantly running through his head. He decided to contact it, sending a message saying "Did I meet you last night?." Random recipient Michelle Kitson was confused and wary at first but decided to reply and the two began exchanging messages. Eventually they met and fell in love. "It was really weird but I was absolutely hooked," Kitson told the Daily Mail newspaper. "My mum and dad kept saying 'But he could be an axe murderer', but I knew there was something special about it." After a long courtship, the oddly matched couple -- he's six foot seven inches tall and she's five foot four -- have just returned from their honeymoon in the Indian resort of Goa. A love-struck Brown said: "I've no idea how I ended up with her number in my head -- it's only a few digits different from mine." |

$1 parking ticket paid after 26 years news A $1 parking ticket from 1980 has
finally been paid off, after the offender sent the payment along with a
$3 late fee to police without giving a name. "It's kind of cool that
someone took the time to take care of their obligation after 26 years,"
police Capt. Mike Babe said. "Maybe their conscience got to them."
The signature on the money order used to pay for the ticket is not readable, and the return address reads: "Someone who keeps way too many old papers way too long." Babe said he doesn't know who mailed the payment, but he would like the chance to thank the person for it. The stamp on the mailing, received over the weekend, had the patriotic theme of, "Home of the Brave." |

Japanese Man with No Arms and No Legs Becomes School Teacher news This is a feel good story if there ever was one....and also one that typifies that Japanese hard work ethic. He writes by placing a piece of
chalk between his chin and his left shoulder, uses a projector to
display wordes he has typed and distributes prepared printouts for
students.
"'I want to accept the differences between each person, and work to make people become aware of their good qualities,' he said." The young man is a tremendous inspiration for not accepting limitations. He will teach volumes each day just be showing up. What excuse do you use for NOT being able to do something? |

Britain Denies Snoop Dogg Visa news British authorities denied rapper
Snoop Dogg a visa for a series of planned concerts, publicists for his
tour said in a statement Saturday.
Snoop Dogg, co-headlining a European tour with fellow star P Diddy, had been expected to play five dates in Britain. "Snoop and his team are mystified at the decision and are hoping that the British government will reconsider this decision," spokeswoman Celena Aponte said in a statement. "He has asked how he can help rectify the situation and would happily talk to and give assurances to the officials." Whatever the outcome, a planned concert at London's Wembley Arena on Tuesday will go ahead with P Diddy and the rest of the show, she said. A spokeswoman for the Home Office said she couldn't comment on an individual case, but did point out that foreign citizens could be barred from entering the country if there were concerns about their presence. "The Home Secretary has the power to refuse entry clearance to non-U.K. citizens if he considers that their presence here would not be conducive to the public good," said the spokeswoman, speaking on condition of anonymity in line with department policy. In April 2006, the rapper, whose real name is Calvin Broadus, and five other men were arrested on charges of violent disorder and starting a brawl, and spent the night in jail after trouble flared when some in his party were denied entry to British Airways' first class lounge at Heathrow Airport. Seven officers received minor injuries -- mainly cuts and bruises -- and one suffered a fracture to the hand. Snoop Dogg was previously barred from entering Britain in May 2006. |

Locksmith cracks open antique safe news The mystery what a locked antique
safe found behind a historical society's furnace might hold had this
town abuzz until a locksmith got it open. Its contents: the safe's
long-lost combination.
"Like we need this now," Monroe Historical Society President Nancy Zorena joked after the 204-kilogram safe was unlocked Thursday. The Victorian-era safe was discovered in an old building owned by the society. Its manufacturer was long out of business, and nothing was available to indicate who had owned the massive iron chest before the town donated it to the historical society decades ago. The safe itself is worth about US$300 - likely more than its contents. Along with the combination was a yellowed newspaper clipping, believed to be from the 1930s; an anonymously written poem; and four wooden tokens from Missouri that apparently were issued during the Great Depression and commemorated contributions to a fund for the needy and unemployed. |

Ky. Couple Allegedly Offered Kid For $3,000, SUV news A couple are charged with trying to sell a 15-month-old girl for $3,000 and a sport-utility vehicle.
Charles G. Hope Jr., 32, and Amber M. Revlett, 26, both of Owensboro, planned to use the money to pay off his fines for previous criminal charges, said Daviess County Sheriff's Lt. Bill Thompson. They were arrested Friday. Thompson said it started out Wednesday as a joke between the couple and two women, but it became apparent that Hope and Revlett weren't kidding. "This is one of those things that worked out, and, luckily, we were able to do this before they were able to sell the child to someone who may not have contacted law enforcement," Thompson said. Hope told the Owensboro Messenger-Inquirer that he wasn't trying to sell his girlfriend's little girl. "I love her babies, I love my babies, and people don't have enough money to get any of my kids," he told the newspaper. Hope said the two women he's accused of trying to sell the baby to were just trying to get the child for themselves. "They said something to (Revlett) about giving us $500 for temporary custody to take her to New Mexico and I said, 'Well, give me $3,000 and your truck,"' Hope said. "The next thing I know, I'm sitting here accused of trying to sell my kid ... . I know they don't think I'm serious, they just want her." Thompson said Revlett's three children were placed in the custody of child protective services. Selling a child for adoption is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison. |

Anna Nicole Smith diaries sell for over $500,000 news Two diaries written by Anna
Nicole Smith have sold on online auction site eBay for more than
$500,000 (255,00 pounds) to a German man planning to use them as the
basis of a book, according to the memorabilia house that sold them.
Jeff Woolf, co-partner and auction director at Universal Rarities in Corona, California, said the diaries, from 1992 and 1994, were found a few years ago by a man cleaning out a house in Los Angeles where Smith stayed during a filming project. He sold the diaries to a memorabilia collector who runs a shop on Hollywood Boulevard who came forward with the diaries after the mystery death of the former Playmate in a Florida hotel on February 8 at the age of 39. In the 1992 diary, which has the words "I follow my own star" on the cover, Woolf said Smith confesses: "I hate for men to want sex all the time. I hate sex." This diary sold for about $285,000. In the second diary Smith writes about the illness of her billionaire husband Howard Marshall, who died in 1995 at the age of 90, with a religious awakening with lots of references to Jesus. This sold for about $230,000. Woolf said the demand for Smith memorabilia had been overwhelming following her death so the price realised for these diaries was not that surprising. "I don't think I've had the luck of being in such a situation, where the timing was really that perfect as far as the peak of someone's popularity in the news," he told Reuters. "The gentleman who bought them required to be anonymous but I can tell you he is from Germany and has the intention of making a book out of them and doing some things in the publishing world." more . . . |
