VIDEO: woman miraculously survives being struck by car
A 44-year-old Brazilian woman has survived after being hit by a car and tossed in the air.
Rosalina de Jesus was arriving home from work when a car travelling at high-speeds lost control and slammed into her.
Security camera footage from a nearby shop showed Jesus being thrown some 60 feet in the air and landing in the middle of a street in the northern city of Belem, in Para state.
The driver stopped to help the victim, who survived with only mild injuries in her arm and collarbone.
100 drunken Canadian women brawl over male stripper
Police want to talk to the management of Nanaimo's Cavallotti Lodge,Alberta following a drunken melee that erupted at the East Wellington Road hall on Friday night, featuring more than 100 women and a male stripper. Nanaimo RCMP spokesman Const. Gary O'Brien said officers responded to a call of an assault at the hall at around 10:50 p.m., only to find "between 100 and 150 drunk women" on the premises, watching an exotic dancer as part of a fundraiser for the lodge. "My understanding is that a big brawl broke out among a number of drunken women who were watching a male stripper event there," said O'Brien. Police arrested five people they believed were involved in the incident but are not recommending charges to Crown counsel.
"They were drunk, it was an alcohol-fuelled incident and there was no real victim," said O'Brien. "However, we will be following up with Cavallotti because their patrons were extremely intoxicated and we need to warn them about the dangers of over-serving liquor." Two of the women were kept in the cells at the RCMP detachment until they "sobered up," said O'Brien. A witness to Friday's escapades who did not want to be identified said one woman stood on her chair to watch the male exotic dancer, who was dressed up as a police officer before he started to remove his clothing.
The women behind her took exception because their view of the stripper was obstructed. At least four police cars responded to the assault. "I couldn't believe that many police officers were there," said the witness. "It was police overkill." O'Brien said the incident has been documented and police know the names of all the women who were involved. "I guess one woman assaulted another woman who was blocking her view and then all hell broke loose," he said. The woman whose view of the stripper was blocked asked the woman standing on the chair to sit down and the latter took a swing at her, said the witness.
"She really scratched her on her face." The person who initially called in the complaint told police that not only was she assaulted but her mother and sister were also assaulted. O'Brien said police arrested the five people because they caused a disturbance. "There was no real victim here as far as we can tell and everybody was so drunk, it's difficult to determine what really took place and that's why we don't expect charges resulting from this," he said.
Charlie the Smoking Chimp' dies from old age
A chimpanzee which became addicted to smoking cigarettes has died from old age having managed to live at least 10 years longer than most chimps. 'Charlie the Smoking Chimp' was famous for his habit, picked up from visitors to his South African zoo, of smoking lit cigarettes.
But the zoo announced that the ape had finally died, aged 52. Most chimpanzees live to around 40. Qondile Khedama, a spokesman for Mangaung Zoo, said Charlie was only an 'occasional smoker', but had none the less become famous around the world for the habit. She explained that although the zoo discouraged the practice, the ape obtained cigarettes from visitors who would throw lit cigarettes to him through his bars.
Charlie in happier times.
Ms Khedama explained that Charlie had recently been receiving special care, including a special diet of protein shakes and vitamin and mineral supplements. Ms Khedama said she did not know whether the ape's bad smoking habit contributed to his demise and that post mortem to determine the exact cause of death would take place soon.
The chimpanzee had learnt that he was not supposed to smoke, so he would try and hide the habit from his zookeepers. Charlie is thought to have picked up the smoking habit when he worked in an American circus. It has been speculated that he was taught the trick to entertain circus-goers.
Michael Jackson scarecrows get birds to beat it
A Michael Jackson fan from Taiwan creates scarecrows in memory of the King of Pop. Michael Jackson has been immortalized in photographs, figurines, wax sculptures, and now - scarecrows. A Taiwanese salesman has created scarecrows resembling the King of Pop to chase away birds in his parents' fields in central Taiwan's Changhua County.
He came upon the idea with a hint of humour, in reference to one of Michael Jackson's trademark moves. "During harvest, my dad would go to the fields every day to chase away the birds. And I thought, since Michael is good at 'grabbing his bird,' I'd invite Michael to grab birds in our fields," Lee Ping-hsing said.
Lee, who likes to imitate Jackson's style of dancing, said he was inspired by his idol to create his artworks. He uses a wooden skeleton for the body, and a sponge for the face, then dresses up the scarecrow with Michael Jackson-style costumes, including the famous white sequined glove. To make each scarecrow unique, the 30-year-old milk powder salesman poses his scarecrows to resemble the music icon's signature moves, as in "Thriller" for example.
Some of Lee's family do not approve of the macabre scarecrows. "I was yelled at by my grandpa. He said his spirit could come back and haunt us, but I think it would be nice if Michael could come over," Lee said. Lee has already completed two Jackson scarecrows, and is currently working on a third one. He also painted an image of his idol on the wall of his house.
