Teacher Plummets Four Stories to Her Death After Sliding Down Bannister

A 23-year-old Crete woman who was killed in an accident at a Halloween party at a downtown luxury hotel was a Chicago public schools special education teacher who was "ready to make a difference," according to her family.

The accident happened at 10:30 p.m. Saturday as Megan Duskey, of the 3600 block of Melanie Lane was attending the party at the Palmer House Hilton, 17 E. Monroe St., police said.

While police have opened a death investigation into the incident, preliminary details indicate she was attempting to slide down a stair rail from the mezzanine level when she lost her balance and fell four stories to the basement level, police said.

Duskey was at the party with friends when the "tragic accident" happened, according to a police officer. Alcohol did not appear to be a factor, police said.

The Haunted Hotel Ball was scheduled to occur at the Palmer House on Saturday evening. The event was sold out and about 2,000 people were expected. The event began at 8 p.m. and was expected to run until 2 a.m.

Duskey was at the party dressed as the Silk Spectre, super-heroine of the comic book movie "Watchmen." With Duskey was a group of girlfriends that included her cousin, a college roomate and several other close friends.

The young women arrived at the party looking forward to a night out in the city, said Elisa Pessetto, who grew up a few houses away from Duskey's family home in Crete.

They had been at the hotel for about 30 minutes when Pessetto said she stepped away from her friends on a third or fourth-floor staircase. When she returned minutes later, Duskey and a cousin of hers were gone, and two of their friends were collapsed on the stairwell floor, crying hysterically, Pessetto said.

"I couldn't even understand what they were saying," Pessetto said. "Then someone said (Megan) fell."

Monique Bond, Chicago Public Schools spokeswoman, said Duskey was an early childhood special education teacher at Orville T. Bright School, 10740 S. Calhoun Ave. Crisis counselors will be at the school on Monday, Bond said.

Friends and family gathered at the woman's home in Crete today.

Duskey graduated from Northern Illinois University in 2009 with a degree in early childhood education and early childhood special education, family spokeswoman Rita Miotti said in a statement. She began at the far south side school during the 2009-2010 school year, Miotti said.

Duskey graduated from Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights where she was an honor student, Miotti said. She attended St. Mary's School in Park Forest where she was a parishioner, Miotti said.

Duskey played soccer, softball and volleyball in high school and continued to play in intramural leagues, Miotti said. She is survived by her parents and two brothers, Miotti said.

"Megan's passing is a tragic loss to her family and friends. She was a caring, energetic person who was full of life and eager to help others and make a difference in the world," according to the statement.

JOKE: A group of Americans were traveling by tour bus

A group of retired Americans were traveling by tour bus through Holland. As they stopped at a cheese farm, a young guide led them through the process of cheese making, explaining that goat's milk was used. She showed the group a lovely hillside where many goats were grazing.

'These,' she explained, 'are the older goats put out to pasture when they no longer produce.'

She then asked, 'What do you do in America with your old goats?'

A spry old gentleman answered, 'They send us on bus tours!

VIDEO: Naked mother pinned down by four police officers in cell cleared of assault

A mother accused of assaulting police was cleared yesterday after a court was shown CCTV footage of them attacking her. Stephanie Rutter, 25, can be seen being pinned down by four officers after she was stripped naked in a police cell.

The hairdresser had been arrested after a row with her boyfriend. When she arrived at the police station there was a bust-up and her clothes were cut off. Stephanie was then said to have attacked a woman police sergeant, a woman PC and a male and female detention officer.

But the charges were dropped after her lawyer produced the CCTV at Runcorn Magistrates' Court, Cheshire, England. Stephanie, from Runcorn, was shown being elbowed in the jaw and pinned to the floor. The mum of one was then handcuffed and put in leg restraints.

Stephanie said: "It was four on one - and they won. They left me in the cell with blood dripping down my face and covered in bruises. I thought my jaw was broken." She said she was "overjoyed" at being cleared, adding: "Justice has been done." She is now taking action against the officers.

Flasher is bitten by victim's dog

A man who indecently exposed himself to a woman ended up being bitten by her dog.

The victim, aged in her 60s, was walking her pet in Moreton-in-Marsh, Gloucestershire, England when she was approached by the flasher. A police spokesman said the man exposed himself and the terrier growled. It then bit him on the upper right arm.

Sgt Ian Dowling, of North Cotswolds police, said the dog seemed "to have acted instinctively". He added: "This was clearly an upsetting incident for the woman and her dog.

"The animal seems to have acted instinctively and was not urged to attack the offender. Naturally because of the nature of the incident, we are keen to hear about anyone seen with a dog bite on his right arm in the last 24 hours."

Man walked into hospital with severed arm in garbage bag ..asked them to reattach it

A concrete worker walked into a hospital with his arm in a yellow bin bag after it was torn off by heavy machinery - and calmly asked doctors to sew it back on again.

Romanian Miheal Ionescu, 51, who works at a factory making concrete at Iasi in northern Romania, had his arm ripped off in the work accident, and stuffed it in a bin bag - before getting a friend to drive him to the hospital. Nine doctors then spent 12 hours working to reattach the arm of the man from Falticeni.

Hospital spokesman Doctor Tudor Ciuhodaru at the local St John's Hospital in the city said: "The man was clearly in shock, which is why he could remain so calm. He is now in intensive care.

"This is one of the most severe cases we have ever seen at the emergency room, and we specialize in this and do around 1,000 arms reattachments every year."

Ye frightened the livin' bejasus out of me," said the obviously embarrassed Mick. "Ya see, me and the missus been having a little trouble lately in the ol' bedroom department and the doctor suggested I do something sexy to a tractor!"

Man, 82, grows new tooth after having none for over 50 years

All John Giblin wants for Christmas is to get rid of his new front tooth. After more than 50 years without any teeth the 82-year-old was amazed when he discovered he had grown a new one at the front of his mouth. Retired postman Mr Giblin moved from London to Sommerville Close in Faversham two years ago for a quieter life. After eating too many sweets, all his teeth fell out in his 20s and he was fitted with dentures.

But a new tooth was lying in wait, and several months ago it decided to put in an appearance. "My dentures became incredibly uncomfortable, and started to cause me quite a bit of pain," said the poetry enthusiast. "Then I felt my gum and discovered something sharp. At first I thought it was a bit of my jaw bone poking through, never did I imagine it would be a new tooth."

A visit to the dentist and an X-ray later Mr Giblin was told he was the proud owner of a new incisor but is now due to have it removed. He said: "I'm still waiting for the damn thing to be taken out. It is all a bit embarrassing, especially as it is in the dead centre front of my mouth. I've never heard of anything like this before, I didn't even know it was possible.

"When I lost my teeth all that time ago, I certainly didn't think I would be growing a new one 50 years later. My family have joked that I'm going through my second childhood. The whole situation is extraordinary and the sooner it is removed the better. When I look in the mirror it is just there staring at me. If it isn't taken out soon I'll knock it out myself."

The new hooker just finished her first trick, when she came down the street, the seasoned veterans gathered around to hear the details.

She said "Well, he was a big muscular handsome sailor."

"Well, what did he want you to do?", They all asked.

She said, "I told him a straight lay would be $100, but he didn't have that much."

Then she told him, "Oral sex would be $75, but he didn't have that much either."

"Finally I asked him, well how much money do you have?"

The sailor said, "He only had $25."

The new hooker said, "Well, for $25 all I can do is service you by hand."

He agreed and after getting the finances straight, she said "He pulled it out and I put one hand on it, and then a second hand above the first and then the first hand above the second hand."

"Oh my god" they all exclaimed, "It must have been huge, then what did you do?"

"I loaned him $75!" she exclaimed.

Watch An Elderly Woman Take Her Buick The Wrong Way On I-95

Police in Philadelphia want to speak with an elderly woman who took her Buick Century station wagon the wrong way down Interstate 95 Thursday at 50mph, causing four separate accidents. Here's amazing video of it actually happening.

A driver on the proper southbound side of I-95 managed to film the woman during her "Ronin" re-enactment, saying at one point she tried to waive him off and scuffed the concrete barricades with her faux wood paneling twice without stopping. No one was injured in the other accidents.

Fox bites off man's nose and fingers in cemetery

A Scotsman who blacked out in a village cemetery had his nose and fingers bitten off in a suspected fox attack.

The 37-year-old is recovering from his injuries at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary after the incident in the early hours of Sunday morning.

The wounded man was discovered by police at St Michael's Parish Church Cemetery, Inveresk.

A source said: "He was attacked by a fox in a cemetery near Musselburgh as he was lying unconscious. His nose was chewed and two-and-a-half fingers were bitten off. He was taken away to hospital unconscious but breathing."

It is not clear how the man, who has not been named, came to be unconscious in the cemetery.

A police spokesman said: "Lothian and Borders Police can confirm it is carrying out inquiries after a 37-year-old man was found in the Inveresk area in the early hours of Sunday, October 24, with injuries to his face and hand.

"These injuries may have been caused by animals. He is being treated for his non-life-threatening injuries at Edinburgh Royal Infirmary."

A spokesman for the ambulance service confirmed an unconscious man with facial injuries was taken to hospital from the Inveresk cemetery.

Village resident Jack Fraser said the grisly incident had shocked the community.

"People are certainly talking about it - that he had been found in the cemetery and looked like he had been punched in the face a few times. I also heard there were a few tops of his fingers missing.

"No-one I've spoken to has any idea what happened to him but when people start talking they often get the wrong idea. I just hope he recovers all right."

John Caldwell, councillor for Musselburgh and Carberry said: "I stay not far from that area and the only animals around capable of doing such a thing are the foxes."

One nearby resident, who asked not to be named, said she saw police at the scene late on Saturday night. She said: "I was walking my dog at about midnight and saw two police cars and thought they must be looking for someone."

East Lothian Council, whose landscape and countryside division tends to the cemetery, said none of its staff had knowledge of the incident and Reverend Andrew Dick, minister at the kirk where the man was found, said he had nothing to add to the facts already known.

Earlier this year a fox attacked twin baby girls while they slept in their cot at home in London. At the time, John Bryant, a pest control consultant who specialises in foxes, said such attacks were not typical fox behavior.

Rider picked up own head after horse fall causes 'hangman's break'

A fall from a horse left a woman with such a severely broken neck she was forced to pick up her own head.

Thea Maxfield, who runs a stud farm in Oxfordshire, England, suffered a "hangman's break" a clean break of the upper cervical vertebra when she fell from her dressage horse.

She tried to get out of the animal's way as it galloped around after the fall, but when she tried to pick herself up, the horrified 26-year-old found her head stayed where it was.

Realising she had to move to avoid being stomped on, Ms Maxfield cupped her hands around her own head and lifted it into place to avoid damaging her spinal cord.

"As soon as I came off the horse I knew something was wrong. I went to get up but my head stayed on the floor,'' she said.

"I couldn't move my neck or my head and I had to literally pick my head up and carry it in my hands."

After managing to stagger to safety, Maxfield, watched by her frightened mother Diane, 66, was taken to hospital.

Doctors initially warned she may be permanently paralysed.

But incredibly after using a revolutionary fixed brace connected to a computer by tiny sensors for three months to help fuse the bones back together, she is now back riding seven months after the accident.

WHAT A NIGHTMARE!!!!

In the nightmare I found myself nude in bed, and I was looking at a mirror on the ceiling, and I discovered that I am a Negro, and I'm circumcised!

Quickly I jumped up, found my pants and looked in the pockets to find my driver license photo and it was that same color. Black.

I felt myself being very depressed, downcast, sitting in a chair.

But it's a wheelchair!!

That means, of course, besides being black and Jewish, I'm also disabled!!!

I said to myself, aloud 'This is impossible. It's impossible that I should be black and Jewish and disabled.''It's the pure and holy truth', whispers someone from behind me I turn around, and it's my boyfriend. Just what I needed!!!

I am a homosexual, and on top of that with a Mexican boyfriend. Oh, my God..... Black, Jewish, disabled, gay, with a Mexican boyfriend, drug addict, and HIV-positive! !!

Desperate, I begin to shout, cry, pull my hair, and OH,noooooo...I' m Bald!!!

The telephone rings. It's my brother. He is saying, 'Since Mom and Dad died the only thing you do is hangout, take drugs, and laze around all day doing nothing. Get a job you worthless piece of crap... Any job.

Mom?... Dad?... Nooooooooo.. .Now I'm also an unemployed orphan!

I try to explain to my brother how hard it is to find a job when you are black, Jewish, disabled, gay with a Mexican boyfriend, are a drug addict, HIV-positive, bald, and an orphan.

But he doesn't get it.

Frustrated, I hang up. It's then I realize I only have one hand!!!

With tears in my eyes I go to the window to look out.

I see I live in a shanty-town full of cardboard and tin houses!

There is trash everywhere.

Suddenly I feel a sharp pain near my pacemaker... .

Pacemaker?

Besides being black, Jewish, disabled, a fairy with a Mexican boyfriend, a drug addict, HIV- positive, bald, orphaned, unemployed, an invalid with one hand, and having a bad heart, I live in a crappy neighborhood.

At that very moment my boyfriend approaches and says to me, 'Sweetiepie,my love, my little black heartthrob, have you decided which inaugural party we are going to for Obama ?????

Say it isn't so!!!

I can handle being a black, disabled, one armed,drug addicted, Jewish queer on a Pacemaker who is HIV positive, bald,orphaned, unemployed, lives in a slum, and has a Mexican boyfriend ,but please, oh dear God, please don't tell me I'm a DEMOCRAT....

JOKE: A guy is caught by a ranger eating a bald eagle

A guy is caught by a ranger eating a bald eagle and is consequently put in jail for the crime. On the day of his trial, the conversation went something like this:

Judge: "Do you know that eating a bald eagle is a federal offense?"
Man: "Yes I did. But if you let me argue my case, I'll explain what happened."

Judge: "Proceed."
Man: "I got lost in the woods. I hadn't had anything to eat for two weeks. I was so hungry. Next thing I see is a Bald Eagle swooping down at the lake for some fish.

I knew that if I followed the Eagle I could maybe steal the fish. Unfortunately, in the process of taking the fish I killed the Eagle. I figured that since I killed the Eagle I might as well eat it since it would be more disgraceful to let it rot on the ground."

Judge: "The court will take a recess while we analyze your testimony."

15 minutes goes by and the judge returns.

Judge: "Due to the extreme circumstance you were under and because you didn't intend to kill the Eagle, the court will dismiss the charges.
But if you don't mind the court asking, what does a Bald Eagle taste like?"

Man: "Well your honor, it is hard to explain. The best I can describe it is maybe a combination between a California Condor and a Spotted Owl."

Russian Bears Raiding Graveyards

You can't play dead any better than by being a corpse buried in a coffin, but that isn't enough to save some Russians from bear attacks. Hungry bears have been raiding Russian cemeteries and eating bodies, behavior that some officials say has been caused by a shortage of the bears' usual food after a particularly scorching summer.

Some experts, however, say the bears have plenty of food and they are raiding cemeteries out of laziness, treating the graveyards as big "refrigerators." In a region near the Arctic Circle, one bear learned how to open a coffin and "then taught the others," a World Wildlife Fund official said. "They are pretty quick learners," she added.

JOKE: SEYMOUR GOES TO HEAVEN

Seymour was a good and pious man, and when he passed away, the Lord himself greeted him at the pearly gates of heaven.

"Hungry, Seymour?" the Lord asked.

"I could eat," said Seymour.

The Lord opened a can of tuna, and they shared it.

While eating this humble meal, Seymour looked down into Hell and noticed the inhabitants devouring enormous steaks, pheasant, pastries and vodka.

The next day, the Lord again asked Seymour if he were hungry, and Seymour again said, "I could eat."

Once again, a can of tuna was opened and shared, while down below Seymour noticed a feast of caviar, champagne, lamb, truffles, brandy, and chocolates.

The following day, mealtime arrived and another can of tuna was opened.

Meekly, Seymour said, "Lord, I am very happy to be in heaven as a reward for the good life I lived. But, this is heaven, and all I get to eat is

tuna. But in the Other Place, they eat like Kings. I just don't understand."

"To be honest, Seymour," the Lord said, "for just two people, does it pay to cook?"

Afghan Wedding Roof Collapse Kills Dozens

mud house

Sixty-five people have been killed after a roof collapsed on a wedding party in Afghanistan's northern Baghlan province.

More than 40 of the dead are thought to be women and children.

A senior Afghan official said dozens more had been wounded at the celebration.

Jawad Bashart added that the house was overloaded and was only made of mud bricks.

He said the women had been celebrating on the top floor, separately from the men, when the roof collapsed.

"There was a wedding in Warchi village of Jalga district of Baghlan province when the roof collapsed, killing more than 40 women and children," said governor Munshi Abdul Majid.

The wedding was being held in a three-story village house when the roof caved in.

"There was a wedding party and the second floor of the house was packed with people. The floor of the first storey collapsed into the ground floor. More than 40 people were killed and 15 people wounded," Mr Haqmal said.

He warned this was an initial report and that the death toll could rise.

"The houses there are all very old. They're made of mud bricks and covered with wood. The unusual weight of so many people and the age of the house could have been a reason for the collapse.

F***ing sick of telephone pranksters

Angry residents in the Austrian village of F***ing are complaining about drunken English-speaking telephone pranksters.

They say callers ring at all hours, demanding to know "Is that F***ing" - before bursting into laughter and then hanging up.

The problems began after tricksters noticed residents of the village could be found by typing the word 'F***ing' into the online Austrian telephone book.

Also suffering thanks to the service are the locals of the Austrian villages of "Oberf***ing" "Windpassing", "W***ham" and "Rottenegg" - although it seems F***ing is the most popular among pranksters.

And now random callers have been making life miserable for the villagers.

Johann Maier, 56, told local media: "It's true - we get calls and a voice in English asking if we are in F***ing or is that F***ing - then there is laughter or something - and then they hang up."

Mayor Siegfried Hauppl said: "I don't know why they have to go on about it all the time the English - we are always in the news but we are just a little village - we want to be left in peace."

And he rejected any suggestion that the village change its name.

Last year locals in the Swiss village of W*** urged the F***ing residents to lighten up - open a few guest houses and sell postcards to cash in on their fame.

The W*** Guest House, they pointed out, was full all year round.

Prankster tattooed penis on pal's back

An Australian man has been charged after allegedly tattooing a 16 inch penis onto his friend's back.

It will cost the 25-year-old alleged victim about �1,250/$1875 to remove the tattoo which also features a misspelled slogan implying the man is gay.

Police say he had thought he was getting a Yin and Yang symbol with some dragons, reports the Queensland Times.

Det Con Paul Malcolm said the pair had a disagreement before the tattooing but the victim was mortified by what happened to him.

"The victim wasn't interested at first but he was talked into it and he said he wanted a Yin and Yang symbol with some dragons," he said.

"The bloke started doing the tattoo and there was another bloke standing there watching saying, "Mate, it's looking really good".

"He was told not to go out into the sun and not to show anyone for a few weeks.

"When he got home he showed it to the person he lives with and she said: "I don't think it's the tattoo you were after"."

Police have charged a 21-year-old man from Bundamba, near Ipswich, with two counts of assault occasioning bodily harm and one offence relating to the public safety act.

Runaway buffalo found in neighbor's pool after long search

Chris Nonnemaker and his wife, who are from Georgia, discovered the beast after going outside to inspect their pool after spotting two holes in the protective sheet, which was moving around.

The couple got the shock of their lives, however, when they realised that underneath was a buffalo - which had mysteriously disappeared two weeks earlier.

The Nonnemakers' neighbors had kept three buffalo on their property, but all three had escaped earlier this month.

Two were found shortly after the escape, but the third had not turned up - until it was found in the pool.

The emergency services were called and helped extricate the animal using a series of ropes.

However, the story did not have such a happy ending after it emerged that the owners had decided to have the buffalo put down for safety reasons.

Mr Nonnemaker said: 'It is sad but this cow had a history of getting out so the owner did not want anyone to get hurt.

Teenager picked wrong transvestite prostitute to rob

Bowman Bumpus

Sixteen-year-old Rufus Bowman was looking for an easy victim, but he picked the wrong one.

Bowman was in the 200 block of West McMicken Avenue in Over-the-Rhine when, Assistant Hamilton County Prosecutor Ryan Nelson said, he approached Joshua Bumpus.

"Mr. Bumpus is a transvestite prostitute," Nelson said. "He goes 6-(foot)-3, 280 (pounds) and was wearing a pink halter top and pumps."

Actually, jail records list Bumpus as 6-foot-1, 290 pounds.

"(Bowman) approached Mr. Bumpus and, according to Mr. Bumpus, was trying to retain his services," Nelson said.

The two men went into a nearby alley to transact business, Nelson said, when Bowman pulled a gun.

The two men fought. The 5-foot-7, 230-pound Bowman fired his gun. The bullet hit Bumpus in the arm, went through and lodged near his ribs.

Even though he was shot, Bumpus continued fighting - and won.

"He got the gun away from (Bowman), he grabbed (Bowman) by the hair and beat him down. He beat the (daylights) out of him," Nelson said.

That's about when several of Bumpus' friends, also dressed as women, flagged down Cincinnati Police Officer Dave Kennedy. Other Bumpus friends helped Bumpus beat Bowman.

"The cops showed up during the beat down," Nelson said. "The cops said it was one of their more memorable arrests of their lives."

Bowman's case was deemed serious enough to be heard in adult court. He initially was charged with felonious assault and having a gun while under a criminal disability because he was convicted in February 2009 for possession of drugs, a crime that legally barred him from carrying a gun.

In a Tuesday plea deal, Bowman pleaded guilty to felonious assault. Hamilton County Common Pleas Court Judge Robert Ruehlman sent Bowman to prison for three years.

"(Bowman) picked the wrong prostitute to rob," Nelson said.

Elementary student brings pot to school, turns in parents

Matthews North Carolina parents are facing drug charges after their child took marijuana that allegedly belonged to them to school and told a police officer at school that his parents were using drugs at home and breaking the law.

The fifth-grader, who attends an elementary school in Matthews, N.C., recently took part in a DARE (Drug Abuse Resistance Education) program at his school.

After attending the DARE presentation, the 11-year-old student, who is not being identified, brought an undisclosed amount of marijuana cigarettes to school. The boy allegedly told a school safety officer that the drugs belonged to his parents.

On Thursday, officers with the Matthews Police Department arrested the child's 40-year-old father and 38-year-old mother and charged them both with misdemeanor counts of marijuana possession and possession of drug paraphernalia.

The child's parents were cited but not jailed, pending their next court appearance. Social services, however, has removed the 11-year-old and a sibling from the family home and placed them with relatives, police say.

Matthews police Officer Stason Tyrrell said: "Even if it's happening in their own home with their own parents, they understand that's a dangerous situation because of what we're teaching them at school."

The child's father said he does not give drugs to his children. When asked how his child got the drugs, the father reportedly said it was "no one's business."
