Man drinks in bar with girlfriend's head in bag

MADRID - A Spanish man calmly drank beer with his mates in a bar with his murdered girlfriend's head in a bag, press reports said Tuesday.

After leaving the bar on Sunday, the 34-year-old climbed an electrical tower, was hit by a shock and plunged 30 metres (100 feet) to the ground, dying that evening in hospital, they said.

According to a report in the ABC daily newspaper, citing witnesses, the man told friends in the bar in Cordoba, southern Spain, that he had decapitated his 30-year-old partner.

But he was so calm they did not believe him, despite bloodstains on his shirt.

"A while later when several customers left the bar and saw a pool of blood in the road, they immediately realized this was not a macabre joke. Horrified, they discovered a bag near the bar, inside of which was the victim's head," the ABC daily said.

Police confirmed they had found the woman's body with knife wounds, and that her suspected killer, identified only by his initials MRTR, had fallen from the electrical tower, later dying in a Cordoba hospital.

Near the tower they found a knife believed to be the murder weapon, said a Cordoba region spokeswoman for the national police, Rosa Ortiz.

Police were unable to provide details about the murder because they were interviewing witnesses and had yet to file a judicial report, expected Wednesday, she said.

Six foot long anaconda discovered in Polish toilet

A 73-year-old Polish pensioner was shocked to find a 6.5-foot-long anaconda peering up out of her toilet bowl on Monday in her flat in Wroclaw, south-west Poland, local police said.

"After she raised the lid of the toilet seat, the lady saw a huge snake that wanted to slither out of the toilet bowl. She immediately slammed down the toilet lid and called us," Pawel Petrykowski, a Wroclaw police spokesman said.

"She was certainly very frightened but managed to keep her wits about her," he said. After arriving on the scene, police and an employee from the local zoo managed to catch the reptile, which is native to South America.

"It must have somehow got into the toilet bowl via the plumbing pipes," Mr Petrykowski said. While the anaconda was taken to the zoo, police launched an investigation aimed at identifying its owner

GRANTS PASS, Ore. - Two people are under arrest in connection with a bank robbery in Grants Pass Monday afternoon.

Drunk,Naked, Driving,Making a Salami Sandwich..What's Wrong With That?

An Elm Grove, Wisconsin man who police say was making a sandwich while he was behind the wheel was arrested for driving under the influence of drugs and alcohol in Wauwatosa last week.

According to Wauwatosa police:

Dispatchers received a call reporting a reckless driver in the 2300 block of North Mayfair Road at 9:34 p.m. Sept. 12. He nearly struck a car, was swerving between lanes and failed to use his turn signal.

When an officer pulled behind the 24-year-old man's vehicle he noticed the driver was leaning over the passenger seat. During the traffic stop he noticed the driver was eating a sandwich and had a loaf of bread and packages of salami and cheese on the passenger seat.

He said he had gotten into a fight with his mother and was just driving around.

He went on to say he was a recovering marijuana and oxycodone addict who recently relapsed, but he denied using drugs that day. He did have a bottle of vodka on the car floor and said he'd had six to 10 vodka drinks that morning.

His blood-alcohol content was 0.05, less than the legal limit for drunken driving. A blood sample was sent to the state crime lab to look for evidence of drugs and to verify the alcohol content.

#1, It's none of your damn business;

#2, She was my wife; and.....

#3, I didn't KNOW she was dead, she ALWAYS acted that way!"

Jimmy the Chimp is an Artist

A retired circus chimpanzee has become known as the "Cezanne of simians" after drawing crowds to watch him paint.

Jimmy, 26, has been producing paintings each day for three weeks at the Niteroi Zoo in Brazil.

And plans are now afoot for an exhibition of his works, reports the Daily Telegraph.

Roched Seba, the animal's trainer, said Jimmy had shown no interest in the toys and other diversions that chimpanzees typically enjoy.

In an effort to entertain the chimp, Mr Seba brought some paints to the enclosure three weeks ago - and Jimmy took to them straight away.

For at least 30 minutes a day, so long as he is not distracted by too many onlookers, Jimmy dips his brush into plastic paint containers and uses broad, bold strokes to create his art.

The chimp is not the first animal to wield a paintbrush. An African elephant called Brittany decorates canvases sold at the Milwaukee County Zoo's gift shop to raise revenue.

And three abstract paintings by a chimp named Congo in the 1950s sold for about $25,000 at a 2005 auction in London where works by Renoir and Warhol were unsold.

Oopsie...Hospital circumcised baby by mistake

A US woman is suing a hospital for assault after a doctor circumcised her baby son by mistake.

Vera Delgado's son, Mario Viera, was circumcised without her consent at South Miami Hospital when he was eight days old.

"Oh, my God," Delgado asked the Miami Herald. "How could this happen?"

"I didn't want this for him. I'm opposed to circumcision. They didn't have the right to do it."

Mario was kept in intensive care after he was born to fight an infection. Arriving to visit him one day, his mother noticed a vial by his bed. A nurse told her it was a painkiller given for his circumcision.

The hospital says it is "deeply sorry" and vowed to take steps to prevent the mistake from happening again.

"The baby's circumcision was an unfortunate mistake caused by a misread consent form. As soon as the error was discovered, the doctor and nurses let the family know what had occurred," said a spokesman.

But Ms Delgado says that's not enough. She has filed a lawsuit against the hospital and reported the doctor to police for assault.

"It's a big deal," she said. "In the future, he's going to ask why his dad is one way and he's different."
