Austrailian Wildlife officials just euthanized a baby humpback whale that was trying to suckle milk from various boats and yachts after it was rejected by its mother. It was deemed too weak to survive. http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapc...ion=cnn_latest

So, uh. Apparently this guy robbed a 7/11 in Texas. And he didn't take money, but took condoms and an energy drink. But wait for it... it gets even WEIRDER. The guy was in a wheelchair...

Dallas police Cpl. Kevin Janse said Friday that a man in a wheelchair entered a Dallas 7-Eleven Wednesday afternoon, rolled straight toward the cash register and beat it with a baseball bat until it opened.

But he didn't grab any cash. Instead, police say he stole 10 boxes of condoms and an energy drink before making his getaway Wednesday afternoon.

Janse says the suspect may have been homeless and was likely intoxicated at the time of the robbery.

Haha. Source.

Nashville Tennessee gas stations go dry after a mass panic and rumors that the city was running out. Self-fulfilling fill up prophecy. http://www.cnn.com/2008/US/09/19/nas...gas/index.html

From http://www.thisdayinmusic.com

Nov 11th, 1969, the FBI in Phoenix, Arizona arrested Jim Morrison for drunk and disorderly conduct aboard a plane. The Doors singer who was on his way to a Rolling Stones concert with actor Tom Baker had been drinking and annoying the stewardesses. The pair spent the night in jail and were released on $2,500 bail.

If only more rock stars acted this way...

A notorious Queensland nudist resort is planning a month of sex parties and rainforest "orgies" in a bid to boost flagging tourist numbers.

The White Cockatoo Resort in Port Douglas, north Queensland — once billed the nation's top-spot for group sex and swingers — is planning an adults-only month of hedonism for March next year, the Courier-Mail reports.

Owner of the resort, Tony Fox, said the resort was close to being booked out.

"Tough economic times call for stiff measures," Mr Fox was quoted as saying.

"We're not using the words sex or swingers, but it doesn't take rocket science to work out what it means."

This isn't the first time the resort has hit the headlines.

Three years ago, it put a ban on swingers' parties after a string of out-of-control romps between couples and groups.

In one case, a naked husband and wife in their mid-50s upset other resort-goers while having sex on their balcony before breakfast.

Police also evicted six people from the resort after group sex in a chalet.

Strict rules were in place for the upcoming month of hedonism, Mr Fox said.

The resort's plans have received backlash, however, with Cairns Catholic Bishop James Foley saying it may end up cheapening the resort for a short-term gain.

Cairns Regional Mayor Val Schier has put her support behind the resort, saying north Queenslanders were "extraordinarily creative".

"If they can create a business opportunity that does not offend any neighbours or harm anybody, that is fine," Ms Schier said.
