Charles Marshall Masturbates with a Teddy Bear

Charles Marshall was arrested for masturbating with a teddy bear for the fourth time last Wednesday. How anyone gets caught masturbating with a teddy bear not once or twice but four times or why he even needs a teddy bear to get off is just odd. The Cincinnati man now sits in jail waiting to go in front of a judge yet again.

Mr. Marshall has been caught in a number of locations using a teddy bear to pleasure himself including a public library bathroom and most recently down an alley. You would think the man would just take his teddy bear and go home to play but instead he keeps getting arrested for pleasuring himself in public.

All three previous arrests have led to short jail times and small fines for the teddy bear lover. There is no word yet what Charles Marshall could face this time, but being barred from ever owning another stuffed bear just might help keep his johnson in his pants while in public. Then again he may just find another child's toy to help get him off.

Lizard Turns Spider Man In Real Life

No, this isn’t a computer-generated image, but rather a real-life lizard that looks just like Spider-Man. While you can pick these up at exotic pet shops in the UK, “they require specialist equipment to maintain their temperature.”



It can grow up to a foot long, and the squeamish may find it a problem to feed – a balanced diet for an agama includes locusts, crickets, mealworms and waxworms. Native to Kenya, the rock agama (Agama mwanzae) is unable to throw webs, but can change color – the brightly colored males will change brown at night or if frightened. They can also run on their hind legs, and – like Spidey – can scale vertical walls.

Japanese Fisherman Has become An Artist By Creating The Skeletons Of Dead Animals

Believe it or not, the Japanese use fish for something else than sushi. Take Iori Tomita, a former fisherman who now creates creepy works of art from various dead marine specimens. 28-year-old Iori Tomita uses scientific techniques of preserving and dyeing to transform dead fish into brightly-colored glowing pieces of art. The former fisherman applies over 10 different chemicals to each specimen, which break down the muscle proteins, making it transparent and revealing the skeleton. He then uses red and blue dyes to highlight the hard and soft cartilage. It sounds easy enough, but it’s really a complex eight-stage process which takes Tomita three months to a year to complete, depending on the size of the animals he’s trying to turn into morbid works of art.

The young Japanese artist first encountered transparent specimens at a fisheries university he was attending in Iwate prefecture, Northeast Japan, when he was 19-years-old. It was an epiphany for him, and since 2005 he has been trying to create his own skeletal fish, only for artistic purposes. His first attempts often ended in failure, but after seven years of intense practice, he’s proud to say 9 out of 10 attempts are literally a glowing success.

Tomita, who became a fisherman in a town in the Iwate prefecture, after graduating college, collects his material from the wharf and fishermen, and turns them into unique artworks. “These specimens which you see here are actually animals that have died for some reason or whose carcasses were discarded from pet shops or fishermen. I use those animals which passed away and repurpose them,” he says.

Shinsekai Toumei Hyouhon, or ‘The New World of Transparent Specimens‘, as this creepy art is known as, is created using dead animals, but Iori Tomita thinks it brings people together and makes them appreciate life by observing death. In Japan, his art is especially popular with women in their 20s and 30s, but the artist now wants to expand overseas so the whole world can enjoy his skeletal specimens.

Unique Dragon Haircut

A hairstyle, hairdo, or haircut refers to the styling of hair, usually on the human head. The fashioning of hair can be considered an aspect of personal grooming, fashion, and cosmetics, although practical, cultural, and popular considerations also influence some hairstyles.

Nike Air Max 90 Pirana Shoes

Sneaker customizer Emilio Zuniga has just unveiled his latest joint – the Nike Air Max 90 variant, called “Piranha.” As you can see in the above picture, the idea is fairly simple. Take the Nike Air Max 90, already considered an incredibly slick shoe design, and add a couple upgrades that give the sneaker a mean and toothy piranha profile. The main inspiration for this design seems to be his “Ocean Fog” model from last year, which looked a lot like this design, with the exception of the teeth. In any case, these shoes look pretty great for chewing up the streets. Maybe you can snag a pair…if you’re feeling predatory.

Student Can Study At Several Colleges For A Single Degree

Delhi University's academic council cleared the path for the introduction of a meta college and meta university at its meeting on Saturday. The council has approved the launching of a four-year degree programme - BTech in Humanities - to be offered as a part of a meta college. The university will also allow credit transfer from other educational institutions in the coming months though the modalities are still to be decided.

These decisions will be put before the executive council on Sunday. 'All the proposals have been approved by the academic council. While there were six dissents, 114 people favoured the new concepts. Most likely, we will start the BTech in Humanities from August 15,' DU vicechancellor Professor Dinesh Singh said. The course will be offered as part of a meta college. According to the concept, the students of this meta college will have an option to study different subjects at different colleges while specialising in a particular field. 'About 50 per cent of the course curriculum will be taught through existing courses at colleges while the rest is going to be taught using projects. Students can opt for specialisation in any six areas including education and counselling, media studies, art and design, and historical tourism,' Singh added. Students already enrolled in a DU college in the first year will be eligible to apply. On a larger scale, DU is coming together with Jamia Millia Islamia to put together a meta university. The two universities will start their own chapter of the human resource development ministry's meta university project, most likely from August. DU and Jamia will together offer a course called Masters in Mathematics Education. Based on their individual expertise and infrastructure, the two varsities will offer different subjects, share faculty and provide students with an option to use resources at both places. Though IIT-Delhi and Jawaharlal Nehru University were also supposed to be a part of this collaboration, they might now come aboard next year. 'We are now waiting for Jamia to move fast and make it happen. The proposal is cleared at our end,' Singh said. Though Singh insists these changes are imperative and would act as harbinger of innovation in the country, teachers in DU called it brazen and violation of statutes and ordinances. Sheo Dutt, who teaches at Shaheed Bhagat Singh College (evening) and also offered his dissent as a member in the academic council meeting on Saturday, said: 'The VC called an emergent meeting and passed such important agenda items without due deliberation. They are changing the ordinance without first discussing it in the standing committee. Even the new courses were not discussed by the committee of courses.' He said that credit transfers can give rise to privatisation of education as DU may allow transfer of credits from private universities. 'Each institution will be first approved before credit transfers are allowed,' Singh retorted. Another teacher questioned the composition of the new courses. 'Master in Mathematics Education includes papers on English for media communication, advertising, contemporary India and the world we live in, development journalism, media management, public relations and corporate communication, media law and ethics, mass communication theory and media research. How are they even relevant?' she questioned.

Seven Year Old Boy Dead In Horrific Accident Involving Vintage Traction Engine

A seven-year-old boy was killed this afternoon after he was hit by a steam traction engine at an open-air museum. The boy was pronounced dead at the scene at the Beamish Museum in Stanley, County Durham, after emergency services attended just before 3pm. Visitors to the museum, which has fully working trams and old-fashioned vehicles driving around the venue, were evacuated after the incident.

The young boy was hit by a 'steam roller' type vehicle, a North East Ambulance Service spokesman confirmed. They received a call saying the boy had been hit by a steam roller at 2.49pm and arrived at 2.55pm to find that the tragic youngster had died. Inspector Kevin Blakey of Durham Constabulary said there has been a fatality, adding: 'I can tell you it's very tragic what's happened.' Durham Police confirmed that the boy is from the County Durham area. His father was taken to the University Hospital of North Durham. Inspector Stephen Dowdle of Durham Police said at the scene this afternoon: 'Police are investigating the death of a child at Beamish museum this afternoon. 'Police were called to the museum by the Ambulance Service just before 3pm 'A seven year old boy had been involved in an incident with a steam traction engine and trailer and had been pronounced dead at the scene. 'He appeared to have suffered serious head injuries. 'The engine driver was taken to hospital suffering from shock. 'He will be spoken to by police at an appropriate time and is being treated as a witness. 'The identities of those involved are not being released, but it is understood that neither of them were visitors to the museum. 'Detectives and road policing officers are at the scene to establish exactly what took place. 'The Health and Safety Executive is also at the scene and this will be a joint investigation.' Richard Evans, Museum Director at Beamish, said in a statement: 'We are naturally very shocked and our thoughts are with the boy's family at this time. 'We took the immediate decision to close the museum for the rest of the day as we support the joint investigation.' Police are seeking witnesses to the actual incident, anyone who saw what happened is asked to ring Durham Police on 101 and ask for the priority dispatch centre.

Cheapest iPhone In The World On Aircel

Indian operator Aircel sprung a pleasant surprise Friday by announcing that it had slashed the iPhone 3GS price to Rs. 9,999 (US $180). While the iPhone 3GS is available for free on a contract in the US, as far as total cost of ownership is concerned, the Aircel deal is probably the cheapest iPhone anywhere in the world. Aircel is offering the black 8GB iPhone 3GS for an upfront payment of Rs. 9,999 (US $180) and an "advance rental" of Rs. 3,000 (US $55). This advance rental gets you 2GB of 3G data per month for an year or 1000 minutes and 2500 text messages per month for 6 months. The icing on the cake is that the phones are unlocked, which means you are free to take the phone anywhere in the world, and put in a SIM of your choice. That's right, an unlocked iPhone for a total cost of $235 ($180 + $55). As a contrast, in the US you can pick-up an iPhone 3GS 8GB for free but with a two-year $39.99 a month contract. That's a whooping $960 over the 24 months, and the device is locked to AT&T for the length of the contract. Alternatively, you can pick up an unlocked iPhone for an up-front $375 in the US, £319.00 ($498) in the UK, HKD 2,888 ($372) in Hong Kong, A$449 ($465) in Australia or Euro 349 ($424) in Spain. That makes the Aircel iPhone 3GS the cheapest by a wide-margin - $137 or around Rs. 7500. Now if that isn't the cheapest iPhone deal anywhere in the world, we don't know what is. No seriously, if your country/ operator offers a cheaper iPhone total cost of ownership, let us know via the comments!

Stylish Unique Wine Bottle

Wine is an alcoholic beverage made from fermented fruit juice, usually that of grapes. The natural chemical balance of grapes lets them ferment without the addition of sugars, acids, enzymes, or other nutrients. Yeast consumes the sugars in the grapes and converts them into alcohol. Different varieties of grapes and strains of yeasts produce different types of wine. The well-known variations are the result of the fact that the sum of the very complex interaction between the biochemical development of the fruit, reactions involved in fermentation and human intervention in the overall process, is a final product in which tens of thousands of chemical compounds may be present in amounts varying from a few percent to a few parts per billion.

World’s Biggest Strapless Bra

“Whenever I think of my wedding photographs, I feel a rush of emotion — but not the warm and fuzzy feeling you might expect. For as well as recording the ceremony that saw me pledge my love to my husband John 21 years ago, the pictures also capture my last, fateful attempt to wear a strapless bra. I was an F-cup when I walked down the aisle, and the beautiful bespoke ivory strapless wedding dress — made so lovingly for me by John’s dressmaker aunt — kept slipping down under the weight of my cleavage… This, wonderful, wonderful bra is truly uplifting — in more ways than one.”
