Man Wakes Up with Head in Polar Bear's Mouth

Polar bear that attacked Arctic explorer Sebastian Nilssen and was shot dead by a Nilssen friend. Nilssen was recovering from his wounds An Arctic explorer survived a polar bear attack.

Sebastian Nilssen, of Norway, says he woke up with his head in the bear's mouth last week.

He told the website Asylum.com, "I grabbed for my shotgun and tried to shoot it but the polar bear had snapped the gun in half. It must have been only a minute I was in his jaws, but it felt like forever."

As the bear stood up with him in its mouth, a friend shot the bear dead.

Nilssen says he's not angry at the bear -- because it was probably very hungry.

Asylum says, "Nilssen was airlifted to the hospital and underwent three hours of emergency surgery to repair a pierced lung and stem the flow of blood from bite marks on his neck, which were inches from a vital artery. "

Three Florida kids fly to Nashville without their parents' knowledge

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. -- Three youngsters with money wondered what to do. How 'bout a trip to Nashville?

None of the three has a driver's license, so they flew.

"I just wanted to fly," said 15-year-old Bridget Brown. "I had the money."

Brown saved $700 from babysitting and asked a friend if he wanted to fly anywhere.

The friend, 13-year-old Bobby Nolan III, said Nashville. The two of them, along with Brown's 11-year-old brother, took a cab to the airport.

Once at the Southwest counter, it was three tickets to Nashville, please.

"He said ok and told us how much it would be and then we paid him," Brown said. "Then he put the flight things on our bags and then he said you better run because you might miss your flight."

"We just took our stuff out of our pockets, took our shoes off and walked through it and they didn't say nothing," Nolan said.

Did they ask for IDs?

"No."

Did anybody ask for IDs?

"[No]. Everybody else had IDs. But we didn't," Nolan said.

So they flew to Nashville.

There were no adults with them, and none of their parents even knew they were going. It all happened in one day.

At dinner time, the boy's parents called his cell, thinking he was at a friend's house.

The call went straight to voicemail.

Later that evening, Bobby called his parents.

"He said, we're in Nashville. I'm ready to come home," said his dad, Bobby Nolan, Jr.

About $700 later, they flew back home the same way.

Everyone is safe, but how did they manage to get on the flight?

According to Southwest Airlines, they didn't sneak by anything.

An 11-year-old is allowed to fly with anyone 12 or older, according to their policy, and doesn't have to pay a fee for being an unaccompanied minor.

They didn't get to sit together, though, since they bought the tickets so near departure time.

2ft 5in Tall Man Hopes To Be Smallest In World

Following the death of the world's smallest man earlier this year another Chinese man has stepped forward hoping to claim the title.

Huang Kaiquan, 40, of Sanjiang village, Hejiang County in southwest China's Sichuan province, measures only 2ft 5.91in (76 cm).

This makes him just 1.4cm taller than fellow Chinese man He Pingping, who was just 2ft 5.37in (74.6cm) tall.

He Pingping was officially recognised as the world's smallest man until his death in March this year at the age of just 21.

Huang, who weighs just 12kg, the same as a three-year-old, is now hoping to claim the record.

According to his mother Cheng Fuxiu, Huang, or 'short brother' as he is known locally, was born in February, 1970.

He is the 2nd child and only son and all the other family members are of normal height.

Cheng comments: "He didn't grow at all one month after birth. We thought it's just late development and didn't pay enough attention then".

However, by the time Huang was three years old he was still wearing the clothes of of a one-year-old. "Then we noticed his unusualness," added Cheng.

The couple took Huang to various hospitals within the province, but doctors were unable to provide a diagnosis to explain his unusual height.

"Relatives suggested us to dump him, but we couldn't do that as he is our son," said Cheng.

Huang was discovered by a performing troupe in Chengdu when he was 21 and he worked as a performer for the next two decades.

He recently retired from performing and now lives back at home with his family.

JOKE: johnnie walker

A young man in a Corvette yelled at Susie and her friend, "Hey, Susie! How ya doin'?" Susie yelled back, "Hi, Sixty-Four! Doing great. See you later."
Susie's friend thought Sixty-Four was an odd name and commented so. Susie explained, "That's because he has six inches, but he's good for four times a night."
Later, a guy in a BMW yelled out and Susie yelled back, "Hey, Seventy-Two! How's things?" "Seventy-Two? " asked her friend. Susie explained, "He has seven inches, but he's only good for twice a night."
Then a guy rode past on a bicycle and gave Susie a shout. She replied, "Hey, Johnny Walker! How's it going?" When he was out of sight, Susie's friend said, "Wait a minute. I know him. His name isn't Johnny Walker. Johnny Walker is a liquor." Susie replied, "So... you broke my code!"

Diaper man pleads guilty to fraud

A 40-year-old man who tricked caregivers into changing his diapers by pretending he had the emotional maturity of a 5-year-old apologized to a victim in court Monday before pleading guilty to charges of organized fraud. Authorities said Sean Kelly of Port St. John told caregivers he was incontinent and hired two women to change his diapers in 2008 and 2009 but did not pay them the amount he promised.

He was officially charged with two counts of organized fraud of less than $20,000 by the Brevard State Attorney's office in February. Kelly, 40, was sentenced to a year of house arrest and four years of probation on Monday. Judge Robert Wohn also ordered a psychological evaluation of Kelly. "An apology might not be enough," Kelly told a victim in court. But ". . . for my part, I apologize." Minutes earlier, the caregiver had tearfully described how she changed Kelly's diaper and fed and bathed him.

"I have to live with this for the rest of my life, this shame," she said. Prosecutor Don Loughran said Kelly likely had other victims. "I think they are too embarrassed to come forward," he said. "What this man did was despicable." According to the Brevard County Sheriff's Office, Kelly sometimes would hire women through postings on Craigslist.org. He would call them pretending to be the brother of the disabled man who needed care.

Kelly would then show up and pretend to be the man with the disability. The ruse was exposed when a caregiver's husband saw him get into a car and drive off. Lt. Tod Goodyear, who heads the sex crimes unit of the sheriff's office, said he believed Kelly had a fetish where adults want to be fed from bottles and wear diapers. "Online, we have found, there are groups that cater to this kind of fetish," Goodyear said.

Thief tried to sell ladder to man he'd stolen ladder from

A man just released from jail in Oregon for stealing a ladder, caught by the man he stole it from, was arrested again for trying to sell a stolen ladder to the same man. This all started on July 28th when the thief was caught with a ladder stolen from a Cedar Mill area man. The victim saw the thief, recognized his ladder, and turned the thief in to the Washington County sheriff's office.

Kevin Gilman was taken to jail on accusations of burglary and theft, said sheriff's office spokesman Sgt. David Thompson. Gilman was released from jail on Aug. 3, then he called the victim and asked him if he was still interested in buying a ladder posted on Craigslist, Thompson said.

Apparently, Gilman had listened for a second time to voicemails he received before the arrest. He didn't realize that he had already called the same man who had turned him in, Thompson said. The victim called the sheriff's office, and detectives took his place in the purchase. When Gilman was arrested the second time, the detectives bought three stolen ladders from him, Thompson said.

Gilman told detectives that he did door-to-door marketing for a painting company. If he came across a home with packages on the porch signaling no one was at home, he would steal the packages, Thompson said. Sometimes he stole ladders, he told police, and would leave them resting against vacant homes. He said he once entered a home and stole DVDs and a guitar which he pawned, Thompson said. Most of what Gilman has stolen has been sold. Gilman remains in jail this time, with bail set at $100,000.
