Some people will do anything for a nice cool brew…
In the early hours of August 18th at Fish’s Quick Stop in De Soto. Store clerk Vicky Gaines says a masked man walked in and began doing the hula dance.
Police say the plan was for the naked dancer to create a distraction while another man took a case of beer from the store. It didn’t work.
Gaines called police. As the naked man and his accomplice joined a third man in a car, a customer got their license plate number. All three were caught a few days later.
The men, ages 19 to 23, face charges of shoplifting and indecent exposure.
So now you don’t have the beer, you are arrested for indecent exposure AND theft. Redneck heaven!

BERLIN (Reuters) - A German court has awarded 3,000 euros ($4,100) in damages to a man who had to have the top of his skull replaced with plastic because of a faulty hospital fridge.
Doctors removed the top of the man’s head and put it in cold storage while they operated on his brain, the court in the western city of Koblenz said Tuesday.
Because the refrigerator was defective, the section of skull was not kept cool enough and could not be reattached. Doctors replaced the bone with a plastic prosthesis.
The man sought compensation of at least 20,000 euros on the grounds that the prosthesis caused him headaches, affected his balance and made him unduly sensitivity to the weather.
Following consultations with experts, the court found that the operation had caused the man’s discomfort, not the loss of the top of his skull.
Compensation of 3,000 euros was “appropriate and sufficient,” it said.
“The experts consulted by the court concluded the new skull roof was better than the original,” a court spokesman said.
Well one things for sure…he’ll never be caught without a salad bowl!

NEW YORK - Jeshuah Fuller’s parents expected him to be born with extra fingers. The extra toes, though, were a surprise.
Jeshuah, healthy and weighing 7 pounds, was born in Brooklyn on Tuesday with 12 fingers and 12 toes. His rare condition, called polydactylism, is usually genetic.
His dad was born with an extra finger on his left hand. His mom, Quana Morris, said she’d had an ultrasound image taken during her pregnancy and knew the baby would have extra fingers.
“We were counting them on the sonogram,” she told the Daily News.
She didn’t know he would have 12 toes, she said. He’ll have all the extra digits surgically removed in a couple of weeks, his mom said.

A woman in Minnesota has been fined for public sex acts and lewd conduct with a man who was wearing a kilt.
Chandra Schaefer, 20, of Fargo, was accused of having sex with Nathan Blair, 24, of Moorhead, Minn., on a car and then near a pine tree in late July.
She was ordered to pay a fine and is on unmonitored probation.
There are just some things people don’t want to see…and, hey…why wasn’t the man fined? I guess seeing some dude’s bum in a kilt why doing it in public is ok?

The photo shoot by Spencer Tunick, the New York artist famous for his pictures of nude 
gatherings in public settings worldwide, was designed to draw attention to the effects of global warming on Switzerland’s shrinking glaciers.
“The melting of the glaciers is an indisputable sign of global climate change,” said the environmental group Greenpeace, which co-organized the event.
It said most Swiss glaciers will disappear by 2080 if global warming continues at its current pace.
The event, which followed Tunick’s previous shoots in London, Mexico City and Amsterdam, was designed to minimize any impact on the environment, Greenpeace said.
Temperatures during the shoot hovered around 50 degrees.
Man, talk about shrinkage!! Plus those nipples could probably cut glass!

Malaysian police have arrested a woman in connection with the murder of a man whose body was chopped into 11 pieces and stuffed into a refrigerator in a posh apartment in the capital.
The remains were discovered in black bin bags when a man who bought the apartment at a bank auction went to clean the unit, which had been vacant for more than three months, the Star newspaper said on Tuesday.
A strong stench led the owner and security guard to the refrigerator, which had been sealed with masking tape.
Newspapers in neighboring Singapore said the victim was believed to be a Singaporean who had been married to the woman and who had been out of touch with his family for nearly two years.
The Straits Times carried a photograph of the woman, described as an air stewardess from Sarawak, being led away by police, a scarf hiding her handcuffed hands.
It quoted unnamed sources as saying police were hunting for the woman’s lover.
Police said they had probably solved the case with the arrest of the woman, The Star newspaper said.
