 "She was the fastest man in Asia evidently."
Shanti Sounderajan, the silver medal winner of the Asian Games earlier in December, has been stripped of her medal, for winning the 800m run, for failing a gender test . An anonymous Indian athletics official commented to The Associated Press that Sounderajan almost certainly never had a sex-change operation but had "abnormal chromosomes."
"Eat them up Yum Yum!"
Large white dots painted on a Buffalo, NY. highway have been vandalized. At the beginning of the dots a large yellow Pac-Man has been painted on the road and caused traffic delays for the first few weeks it existed. The giant video game icon has been there for about a month and the artist, or artists, have returned to touch it up at least once, and no-one seems to mind. "it's kind of comical," said county highway engineer Wayne Fingalson.
"You never know, they could have just been really ugly!"
The Virginia Department of Motor Vehicles has ordered two men to pose for new driver's license photos after the release of an internet video. Will Carsola spray-painting his face and neck red and Dave Stewart painting the top of his head black and sticking fake buck-teeth in his mouth made the two men look like something from outer-space and now the VA DMV is the one with the red face.
"Yeah, and ESAD stands for Excellent Skill And Devotion."
STFU-PLS is no longer a viable license plate thanks to a report to the VA DMV that it did not stand for "Stay True For You," which Kristen Norman claimed, the Smoking Gun reported. Norman said it was the motto of a late friend who's initials were PLS, but the agency didn't buy it and cancelled her plates and ordered her to return them.
"Won't somebody please THINK OF THE PIXIES!"
Confronted with his town about to tear down his barn, a Norwegian man is threatening to sue on the basis that the removal of the barn will anger the fairies and goblins that live there, the Nordlys newspaper reported. This fall, officials declared the building a derelict structure, and are fining him $47 a day until he levels it. Even so, Hakon Robertsen refuses, saying, "Underworld creatures have taken up residence in the building."
"I knew the X in Xbox meant something."
Kolton Mahoney, a Utah boy, never thought he was getting Madden NFL 07 for the Xbox360 this year for Christmas. He also never thought it would be pornography instead. "This is definitely not Madden," Mahoney said, recalling his first thought when he saw it. Mahoney's parents also viewed the video and said they were stunned to find the game switched with a pornographic video.
"More than half way to Mach 1, and they don't see a problem!?"
Tom Matthews said he was caught by a camera that recorded his speed at 420 mph. "I drive an old Cavalier, not a jumbo jet. According to this, I've broken the land speed record," he said. The Newport, Wales, cab driver received a $116 fine and three points on his driving record. "There has been a printing error. If they insist I was going that fast, I should be a Grand Prix driver."
"Second Coming : 35 Minute Delay"
A technical glitch at an Australian TV channel on January 3, resulted in an eerie voice repeating the phrase "Jesus Christ, one of the Nazarenes" for six minutes during a documentary about a train disaster, the Australian reported. Shortly after the documentary began, the voice, which was part of a religious program being broadcast in other parts of the country, replaced the normal sound track for the documentary. The repetition was evidently due to a problem with the tape.
