Ring Toss/Sexual Harassment at Oregon Hotel Alleged

A woman says the couple who own the hotel where she worked encouraged employees to participate in a ring toss game on the husband's penis.

She claims the owners threw a party at the hotel, where the husband danced nude and masturbated publicly, and guests guessed the size and circumference of his penis, and his wife handed out sex toys as prizes for correct guesses.

Jessica Webber sued the Markum Inn in Federal Court, alleging civil rights violations, sexual harassment, hostile workplace and constructive termination. She says she worked for 3 years at the hotel owned by Ward and Julie Frederick until their outlandish behavior forced her to quit.

Webber says that in December 2008 Julie Frederick showed her a letter from her husband, "promising to fulfill any sexual fantasy."

Mrs. Frederick often "talked about her sexual fantasies and asked plaintiff and other employees for advice or suggestions," according to the complaint.

On April 18, 2009, she says, the Fredericks threw a private party at the hotel on a day when Webber was scheduled to work until 11 p.m. She claims Mrs. Frederick told employees she had hired a male stripper to perform, as a "practice run" for a bachelorette party.

The Fredericks invited female employees, customers and friends to the party, according to the complaint.

Webber says that during her shift, "Mrs. Frederick handed out a questionnaire to plaintiff and others with questions relating to the genitalia of the male stripper and Mr. Frederick, including questions regarding the size and circumference of Mr. Frederick's penis. Mrs. Frederick also showed plaintiff a bag of adult sex toys that she intended to hand out as gifts at the party for correctly answered questions."

When the party began, Webber says, Mr. Frederick stripped down to thong underwear in the restaurant-bar and began giving lap dances to employees and guests.

A few minutes later, Webber says, Frederick removed the thong.

Then Mrs. Frederick "began asking the guests and employees to guess the measurements of Mr. Frederick's penis and asked employees to rub lotion on Mr. Frederick. Mr. Frederick then began masturbating in front of the guests and employees so the measurements of his erect penis could be taken, and so others could play a ring toss game on his penis," the complaint states.

Later the male stripper arrived, but Webber says he was never completely nude.

Webber says she left while the party was still in full swing and never went back.

She is demanding $900,000.

Unlikely Friendship Attracts Attention

A mynah bird and a dog who cannot bear to be parted have become local celebrities in China. The pair are such great friends their owner has built a special perch for the bird which fits on the dog.

Owner Qaiao Yu, of Jinan in northern China's Shandong province, can now take them for a walk together. He says the unusual pair always attract attention from passers-by and have become famous locally.

"My two pets developed their super friendship after I kept them both in the same room for a long time," he said. "Now they want to be together all of the time so I made the frame so the bird could join the dog on our walks.

"If someone tries to approach the mynah, the dog will bark crazily. And when the dog is having a nap, the mynah will catch fleas on the dog and comb its hair."

JOKE: It was visitors day at the lunatic asylum

It was visitors day at the lunatic asylum. All the inmates were standing in the courtyard and singing "Ave Maria." And singing it beautifully. Oddly, each of them was holding a red apple in one hand and tapping it rhythmically with a pencil. A visitor listened in wonderment to the performance and then approached the choir.

"I am a retired choir director," he said.

"This is one of the best choirs I have ever heard,"

"Yes, I'm very proud of them," said the conductor.

"You should take them on tour," said the visitor, "what are they called?"

"Surely that's obvious," replied the conductor! They are the Moron Tapanapple Choir!!

VIDEO: Google's Secret DRIVERLESS Cars In Action

With little fanfare on Saturday night, Google revealed that it has been furtively testing and refining driverless cars on the streets of San Francisco and Los Angeles, clocking up an incredible 225,000 test-driving kilometres as they did so.

Google says its major motivation is road safety. But there could be another imperative at work. The tech industry needs a fresh market to address after TV, computers and cellphones - and the car is being seen as that "fourth screen". Make sure the driver has nothing to do, and you've got a willing subject who's able to interact with a raft of lucrative in-car apps and search tools.

Woman shares her joy of living with Beemer the red kangaroo

There are plenty of kangaroos in South Australia but not many of them like cider, playing footy, watching TV and sitting at the table for breakfast. But Beemer, the red kangaroo, does. Each morning he eats a plate of grass with a side of Vegemite toast watched by his adopted mum, Julianne "Julz" Bradley, in her Glendambo home in the Far North. He also loves dry cider but Julz - who saved him after a road accident 18 months ago - doesn't let him overindulge. Something he's allowed to do every day is to muck about with a football, his favourite pastime.

On Tuesday nights, Beemer has a nap after dinner and wakes up in time to watch his favourite TV show, Skippy, which is on very late. "He just stands there and watches it. He relates to it, he loves the theme music and dances to it," said Julz, 50, who lives alone. But Skippy isn't the only thing he likes to watch on TV. As well, Beemer loves donning a Coober Pedy Saints guernsey to watch St Kilda play every weekend during the footy season. Sometimes, he'll even wear a blue shirt for his own safety. "The National Parks and Wildlife told me to put a shirt on him so that the roo shooters know he's a pet," Julz said.

She said she always wanted a pet kangaroo but it was only when, 18 months ago, a woman brought little Beemer into the Glendambo service station that Julz manages that her dream was realised. The woman rescued Beemer from his mother's pouch after she was killed by a BMW motorcycle. The woman took the tiny joey in a jumper to the nearest service station where Beemer met his new mum, Julz.

Beemer is now hopping happily around Julz's backyard and in and out of the doggy door of her house - which he makes a bit bigger by kicking every now and then to accommodate his growing body. He shares the yard and house with Julz's other pets - Woolly the merino sheep, dogs Ned, Apples and Cider and Petie the cat. "Beemer wouldn't know if he's a kangaroo, a cat, a dog or a sheep," Julz said. He could easily jump the metre-high fence that surrounds the yard but it seems Beemer wants to stay. "I love him and he loves me," Julz said. "It would break my heart if he ran away but I don't think he will. He's just like part of the family, he's like my son."
