NY Woman Allowed to Harvest Dead Husband's Sperm

A judge gave permission for a New York woman to extract her dead husband's sperm to conceive a child -- but it may be too late.

George Kamau killed himself Monday, according to The Associated Press. His widow, Victoria Chege, says that she wants to have his child in order to continue his legacy.

"It was the intent of George Kamau to conceive a child prior to his untimely death," Chege wrote in papers filed in Manhattan Supreme Court. "[He] expressed his desire to have children so that his legacy may continue."

Justice Shirley Kornreich gave the court order that Chege needed on Thursday. She can now harvest the sperm, which she then plans to use to inseminate a surrogate mother.

Still, it may all be too late.

Last year, another New Yorker harvested sperm from her husband who had died from an apparent heart attack. The doctor extracted sperm 32 hours after the man died.

The sperm did not impregnate the woman, according to The New York Post.

Previously, judges in other states including Texas and California have granted permission to harvest the sperm of a dead man.

JOKE: LOOKS JUST LIKE HIS FATHER

A woman was walking along pushing her newborn baby in the carriage when an old friend approached her.

The friend leaned over, peering into the carriage said, "What a beautiful baby boy, and he looks JUST like his father."

"I know," replied the woman, "I just wish he looked more like my husband!"

Kung fu sisters challenge suitors

A pair of kung fu sisters have given traditional dating the chop - to hold a challenge tournament where only the survivors will get the chance to date them.

Marital arts experts Xiao Lin, 22, and little sister Yin, 21, are to stage a three day fighting festival in Foushan, south east China, where only the toughest suitors stand a chance of getting through.

First contestants must show off their archery skills, then they must carry a heavy weight over sharpened bamboo spears, and finally they have to defeat one of the sisters in full contact combat.

Only then will contestants earn the right to remove the girls' masks and propose to them.

"They can chose open hand or any weapon they wish but we won't be holding back. If they can't beat us they aren't worthy," explained Lin.

"We tried dating agencies but the men we met were all too weak. We could beat them easily," said Yin.

"So we went back to ancient ways called Bi Wu Zhao Qin - which was the way warrior princesses would find their men."

But so far, only a trickle of brave contestants has come forward.

"I'm a very good martial artist - but I think I'd want to see them with the masks off before I decided whether I wanted to fight for them," said one doubtful suitor.

Mosque defaced with bacon

Muslims are calling on the FBI to investigate after someone wrote the words "pig" and "chump" in bacon outside a mosque in Florence, South Carolina.

Mushtaq Hussain had just finished praying at the Islamic centre when he walked out and found the messages on the walkway. At first, he thought it was a practical joke. But not anymore.

"Then later on, we thought seriously and we thought, 'You know, somebody doesn't like us,'" Hussain said. The incident is especially offensive because most Muslims do not eat pig products.

Because nothing was done to an actual person, police were investigating the incident as harassment, rather than a hate crime.

Man claims rabbits at airport damaged his car

DENVER - One air traveler says rabbits took a chunk out of his car while it was parked at Denver International Airport.

After a nine day stay at DIA's Pike's Peak lot, Dexter Meyer returned from vacation and found that his car would barely start.

"The (repair man) called me and told me that rodents had eaten through the wires," said Meyer. That's what the VW dealer said was wrong with his brand new Jetta.

"You didn't just pick the car up from the airport did you?" the dealer asked Meyer. "And I said, 'well as a matter of fact I did.' And he said 'well we've had several problems with people having rabbits eating through the wiring.'"

"We've seen rabbits and we've seen mice and they're eating up the newer cars," said Robert Bauguess, owner of Bavarian Autohaus. He said 2002 and newer models seem to be especially tasty.

Cars like Meyer's use a soy-based compound in the wiring.

Bauguess said a recent customer brought an unexpected passenger to the dealership along with her BMW. "There was a furry animal there and I poked at it, and it was a rabbit," said Bauguess.

Meyer says DIA admitted there are rabbits there --and everywhere else-- so they can't be sure their bunnies did the biting.

"We are aware of the problem," he said a woman from DIA told him on the phone, "And that they were thinking about increasing patrols. And I said 'to check out for bunnies?"

Bunnies clearly have not gotten the notice based on the number we saw around the parking lot.

"All I want to do is just to tell you there is a problem," Meyer said he told the woman, "Just to let you know that you might want to do something about it, and she said 'well, there is a fence.'"

"They made it in there. They found my car," Meyer said he told the woman at DIA, "The fence isn't working. And she said 'well, I don't know what to tell you,' and I said 'I just want to make sure that this is reported.'"

He says he never wanted reimbursement for repairs.

"I ended up paying $238 plus $55 in parking," he said.

It was about five years ago FOX31 News reported on this same issue at DIA when several travelers had the same complaint.

DIA told FOX31 News they won't comment on the situation because there's no proof that rabbits at the airport did any damage to Meyer's car.

JOKE: a corrupt Senator is hit by a car

While walking down the street one day a corrupt Senator was tragically hit by a car and died.

His soul arrives in heaven before St. Peter at the entrance.

"Welcome to heaven. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so we're not sure what to do with you."

"No problem, just let me in," says the Senator..

"Well, I'd like to, but the higher ups demand you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose."

"Really?

And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to hell.

The doors open and he finds himself in a green golf course with all his political friends waving from a clubhouse. They happily run in their evening dress to greet him, shake his hand, and reminisce about getting rich at the expense of the people.

They played golf and then had lobster, caviar and the finest champagne.

The devil, was a very friendly guy who dancing and telling jokes.

The Senator realizes it, it is time to go.

Everyone waves farewell as the elevator rises...

Up, up, up and St. Peter says, "Now it's time to visit heaven.."

So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group, moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good time and, before he realizes it, St. Peter returns.

"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose your eternity."

The Senator reflects then answers: "Well, I would never have said it before--Heaven has been delightful, but I think I would be better off in hell."

Down, down, down he goes.

The elevator opens to a barren land covered with waste and garbage. His friends, in rags, are picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from above.

The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.

"I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday there was a golf course, clubhouse, lobster, caviar, champagne, and dancing. Now there's just a wasteland full of garbage and my friends are miserable. What happened?"

The devil smiles at him and says, "Yesterday we were campaigning... Today, you voted.."
