Re: Odd News January 2009
Though several restaurants in Asia had reportedly been offering delicacies made from various animals' genitals (touted for alleged virility-enhancement), the first restaurant exclusively serving such dishes, the Guolizhuang, in Beijing, opened in September 2006. The staff's nutritionist told BBC News that sheep, horse, ox and seal penises are good for "circulation" and that donkey penis improves the skin. Tiger, she cautioned, even though premium-priced, has no special nutritional value, but snakes (which have "two penises each," she said) are great for sexual potency. [BBC News, 9-23-06]

Both. You should go see an episode of Bizarre Foods with Andrew Zimmern. Look it up on youtube.

Boy stops pit bull attack with jujitsu choke hold
A 9-year-old Bakersfield boy is being called a hero after he saved a girl and her dog from a pit bull attack. Drew Heredia said he and a friend were walking a small dog Dec. 30 when a pit bull jumped on the dog. The unidentified 12-year-old girl reportedly tried to save her dog, prompting the pit bull to turn on her. Heredia said he jumped on the pit bull and applied a choke hold that he learned while taking classes at a Brazilian jujitsu studio in southwest Bakersfield. "It was kind of a heart-pounding moment," Heredia said. "It was very scary." He said he held the dog for 20 minutes until an animal control officer arrived. “At first, I wanted to kick it, but then I thought it’s not a good idea, because it could get my leg,” Heredia said. The girl was taken to Mercy Southwest Hospital where she was treated for puncture wounds. The pit bull was quarantined at the animal control office, where it will be euthanized after 10 days. No one has claimed the dog. The girl's dog was injured, but it's expected to survive. The dog ran away during the attack but returned home Friday afternoon. Edit: there's a video link at the article, but I can't see it from work.

Re: Odd News January 2009
Man shot by his stepdad ends up in jail with him
JACKSONVILLE, N.C. – A man who police said was shot by his stepfather ended up in the same jail with him after officers discovered outstanding arrest warrants against the victim. Police told The Daily News of Jacksonville that 37-year-old Richard Hayes shot his stepson Thursday night. Authorities say 21-year-old Michael Bass was holding a bloody towel to his abdomen when paramedics arrived, saying his stepfather shot him. Deputies then discovered Bass had outstanding warrants for failing to appear in court and took him to jail after he was treated and released from the hospital. Police said Hayes told investigators he has a bad neck and shot his stepson because he thought Bass wanted to fight him. The men remain in jail. It's unclear if they have attorneys. ___ Information from: The Daily News, http://www.jdnews.com It's clear to me they don't have brains... or at least not a lot of 'em The police, either... don't they think there *might* be some bad feelings in there?
