JOKE: JUST THE NECKLACE, DUMMY
An American girl was visiting England and was invited to a party. While dancing with a stuffy monocled Englishman, her necklace became unfastened and slipped down the back of her dress. She asked the Englishman to retrieve the jewelry piece for her. He was very embarrassed but wishing to comply with her request he reached cautiously down the back of her gown. "I'm terribly sorry," he said,"but I can't seem to reach it."
"Try further down," she said.
At this point he noticed that he was being watched by everyone in the room which made him feel most uncomfortable and he whispered to the girl, "I feel such a perfect ass."
"Never mind that," she cried! "Just get the necklace."
Sex change: The ultimate disguise?
A divorced couple in Stillwater, Oklahoma are behind bars accused of a strange crime. The pair allegedly tried to fake the man's death to escape arrest warrants and so he could start a new life as a woman. The couple are now charged with false reporting of a crime. Investigators say the pair lost custody of their children after their underage daughter caught the ex-husband having sex with a blow up doll. Late last month, the ex-wife Heather Davis told police she dropped off William Davis at his favourite fishing spot in Lake Carl Blackwell. Just hours later, Heather claimed William went missing.
When the alleged lakeside disappearance story quickly unravelled, police say Heather came clean. A day after Heather's arrest, William turned himself in to police. According to court records, she admitted, "William told her he would give up his parental rights to their children and get a sex change if she assisted him in the faked death.""He had some outstanding warrants and there was visitation issues. So the plan was to report him missing so he could get a sex change operation. Then he could return to the family with a different identity," Stillwater police Captain Randy Dickerson said. The couple are being held in Payne County Jail.
Man and his mannequin "wife" deemed not dangerous
Residents of Watertown New York and the southern part of Jefferson County may see a man and his mannequin travelling along Route 11. A man who goes by the name of Ned Nefer, 38, is travelling the 70 miles from Syracuse to Watertown on foot. He is pushing “Teagan” a 6-foot mannequin who Mr. Nefer claims is his wife.
Lisa Spear, principal social welfare examiner for Jefferson County Department of Social Services stopped to talk with him on Wednesday morning. She said she deals with a variety of mental illnesses and people who suffer from them, but has never experienced anyone like Mr. Nefer. “This is definitely one of the very oddest things I’ve ever come across but he seems very happy,” she said.
“I wouldn’t classify him as dangerous at all. He seemed quite happy in his own little world.” Mr. Nefer said he was born in Syracuse and in the 1980’s spent some time at the Children’s Home in Watertown, where he said he met “Teagan” when she was just a head. He said he built a body for the mannequin and the two were married Oct. 31, 1986, in California.
They are travelling to the former Children’s Home on State Street, where the two met, he said. Mr. Nefer said he has not been back to Watertown since 1988. Ms. Spear said she heard he may have been married to a human but that his wife had died. “I’m not sure if this is his way of dealing with the death or that this is some way of coping with PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder),” she said. “But he seemed sincere.”
Man accused of planting spyware on computers to photograph women
A 20-year-old California man was arrested on Wednesday, accused of planting spyware on dozens of computers to secretly photograph women in a state of undress, police said.
Trevor Harwell was taken into custody at his home in Fullerton, where detectives found hundreds of thousands of the pictures on his computer, Fullerton Police Spokesman Sgt. Andrew Goodrich said.
Harwell is accused of installing the program, which gave him remote access to the user's computer and webcam, while working as a technician for a local computer repair company, Goodrich said.
"Once he had access, he would take photographs of the users, usually women. Often, the female victims were undressed or changing clothes," Goodrich said.
Harwell then allegedly stored the photos on a remote server and eventually downloaded them to his own computer.
Police say they began investigating Harwell after a Fullerton resident contacted authorities over a suspicious message on his daughter's computer.
The message mimicked a system error advising her of a problem with an "internal sensor" and advised: "If unsure what to do, try putting your laptop near hot steam for several minutes to clean the sensor."
Goodrich said many users who got a similar message took their laptops into the bathroom while they showered, where Harwell allegedly photographed them undressing or naked.

The Man Buried in a Pringles Can
Fredric Baur dreamed up the original Pringles can. Now he's buried in one.
In 1966, Baur came up with a clever way for Procter & Gamble to stack chips uniformly rather than tossing them in a bag. He was so proud of the achievement, he wanted to go to his grave with it. So when Baur died last month, his children buried the 89-year-old's ashes in one of his iconic cans.
"When my dad first raised the burial idea in the 1980s, I chuckled about it," Baur's eldest son Larry, 49, told TIME. Larry Baur quickly realized his father was serious. Family jokes circulated about the Pringles plan, but no one questioned the elder Baur's decision. So when Frederic Baur died after a battle with Alzheimer's, Larry and his siblings stopped at Walgreen's for a burial can of Pringles on their way to the funeral home. "My siblings and I briefly debated what flavor to use," Baur says, "but I said, 'Look, we need to use the original.'"
If there were a junk food hall of fame, the original Pringles can would stand proudly next to a Toblerone pyramid in the exhibit on ingenious packaging shapes. Baur's canister has become a treasured symbol of snack culture around the globe, as recognizable as a Hershey bar or Coke can from Argentina to Zambia.
"It's all about the inherent beauty and power of uniformity," says Eric Spitznagle, author of The Junk Food Companion. "Every chip looks the same, acts the same."
Not everyone liked the Pringles can when it first hit the market. "People resented it," says Phil Lempert, founder of supermarketguru.com. Uniform chips didn't jell with 1960s-era individualism, he says. "You gave up the fun of eating potato chips, looking for the big ones, the small ones, the ones shaped liked Elvis." Lempert said it took consumers years to appreciate Pringles' uniform size, shape and color. "The Pringles can was a revolution within the realm of snack food," says Baur.
Contortionist hid in a suitcase to steal from tourists in bus luggage compartment
Police have arrested a contortionist who hid in a suitcase to steal from tourists' luggage in a bus locker.
The flexible thief stole valuables including laptop computers from the baggage compartment during an hour-long journey.
He then clambered back inside his case, and was later collected at his destination by his partner in crime.
Travelers only realized their things were missing when they arrived at their hotels and opened their bags.
For weeks detectives were baffled as to how so many items were being regularly stolen on the bus route between Girona airport and Barcelona, in Catalonia, north east Spain.
Last Friday they were alerted by a suspicious member of the public to a large suitcase of 35 inches by 20 inches that had just been loaded on the bus.
When they opened it up the shocked officers found the 5'7" man curled up inside.
The Catalan police force, the Mossos d'Esquadra, said yesterday in a statement: 'It was a very unusual modus operandi.
'One of the men bought a bus ticket from Girona airport to Barcelona, then put a large suitcase in the baggage hold with the other passengers' luggage.
'A second person had hidden inside the suitcase, and when the bus set off he got out of the suitcase and, using a flashlight, looked for valuable objects in the rest of the bags, which he then hid inside a smaller bag.
'After stealing those goods he hid back in the large suitcase for the rest of the journey.
'Last Friday the officers went to inspect a suspect suitcase and they found a man hidden inside, in the style of a contortionist.'
Police said they had arrested the contortionist and his partner, and named them as Krzysztof Grzegorz, 29, and Jouoastaw K, 31.
A police spokesman joked: 'I believe this is what the British call an open-and-shut case.'
