A Canadian lawyer says he can never apologize enough to his wife, Queen’s Bench Justice Lori Douglas, for pressuring a then-client to have sex with her eight years ago when she was still in practice.

Jack King says his wife, who is being investigated by the Canadian Judicial Council over the incident, knew nothing about the naked photos of her he posted online and gave to the client at the time, reports the Canadian Press.

Said King of Douglas: "She did absolutely nothing wrong other than trust me when she should not have," reports the Toronto Sun. "She tried to indulge me in my strange tastes."

He pleaded guilty today in a professional misconduct case. Lawyers for both sides suggested that a fine would be an appropriate penalty.

Skulls Probably From His Mormon Wives

4-2-11
CLEARFIELD, Utah - A Utah man is accused of desecration of a human body after police found what appear to be two human skulls in a shrine in a backyard shed along with several hundred pounds of animal bones, flesh, and blood.

Roberto Cassillas-Corrales, of Clearfield, remained jailed Monday after his arrest a day earlier in the community about 20 miles north of Salt Lake City.

Police tell the Standard-Examiner of Ogden they discovered the skulls during a drug investigation.

The skulls were reportedly removed from gravesites in Cuba and sold to Cassillas-Corrales. The 53-year-old told authorities they were for religious purposes.

Immigrations and Customs Enforcement agents also are investigating because Cassillas-Corrales isn't a U.S. citizen.

It isn't clear whether Cassillas-Corrales has an attorney and no phone listing could be found for him.

A seance conducted while smoking fat Rastafarian type joints was recommended by Cassillas-Corrales neighbors and friends.

The Skinny On Skinny Models

Candice Swanepoel 'Scary Skinny' At Victoria's Secret Swim Event

3/30/11

It wasn't so much the new line of Victoria's Secret swimwear that had people buzzing on Wednesday, but Candice Swanepoel's noticeably-thinner frame, according to New York Daily News.

The Daily News calls Candice -- clad in a black halter-style bikini top and tiger print bottoms -- "scary skinny," pointing out "her stick-figure legs and bony arms." The Daily Mail writes of her "concaved stomach," and slimmer jawline.

The South African beauty's measurements are listed as 5-foot-9, 33-23-34, US Size 8 by IMG Models.

Dietician and eating disorder expert Marisa Sherry remarked to CBS News, "I think it's sad. I think Victoria's Secret was always a company that highlighted women's bodies and curves with sex appeal. But over the last few years they have been criticized for accepting thinner and thinner models. And this is a perfect example."

Dr. Michael Rich, head of the Center on Media and Child Health at Children's Hospital Boston, previously told the news outlet that the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last year was "eating disorder porn."

It's true that from some angles, Candice looks like she might have shed too many pounds, but in other photographs she appears to be just slightly smaller than Alessandra Ambrosio and Adriana Lima, both of whon have had babies in the last couple of years. Remember, we're operating on a scale of 1 to Model, here.

Also depicted here is Isabelle Caro, the French model, now dead, who gave all new meaning to the concept of runway thin. She got so skinny that she ran away, literally and permanently. Not withstanding, she had just completed a photo shoot in the Far East before her death by starvation.

Amanab The Greek Giant - Unemployed in 1886 - What Else Is New?

My Big, Tall Greek Giant

Mary Karmelek | Mar 29, 2011

The Scientific American supplement from December 4, 1886, featured a drawn reproduction of a photograph taken of Amanab, the “Greek Giant”. Amanab was born in 1868 near Kerassond in Trebizonde—a successor state of the Byzantine Empire located on the southern shore of the Black Sea. At the time of the article, he was 18 years old and measured seven feet nine inches in height, had a head circumference of 26 and three quarter inches, and a chest measurement of four feet four inches. The article notes that Amanab was currently unemployed, but intended “to visit the principal cities of Europe and exhibit himself to the public,” presumably for a fee.

In those days it wasn't considered rude or politically incorrect to gawk at people who were 'abnormal.' They were put on display at carnivals in so-called 'freak shows,' and people paid to see them.

But how do you set a fee for a look at a very big and tall person? Is it by inch, by foot, by gasp or a flat rate?

The article also mentions other “giants” who were contemporaries of Amanab. For example, “A very remarkable Chinese giant named Chang was exhibited at Paris a few years ago. He was larger than the Greek under consideration, his height being eight feet; and, unlike his similars, he was intelligent and educated and spoke several languages.”

Whereas he may not have been as educated as Chang, Amanab can claim literary fame as the model for the Greek giant “Auvassab” mentioned in a discussion on giants in Jules Verne’s The Will of the Eccentric.

17 Year-Old "Entitled" Florida Society Girl Pistol Whips Mom To Force Car Purchase

Cops Say Ivy League-Bound Girl, 17, Pulled 9 mm Sig Sauer on Her Own Mom to Force Car Purchase


3/30/2011

A 17-year-old Florida honor student is being held in juvenile detention over an incident in which she pulled a 9 mm Sig Sauer on her own mother, pistol-whipped her and ordered her, at gunpoint, to go to a local car dealership and co-sign for a car the teenager wanted to buy.

Apparently fearful of interfering with Rachel Anne Hachero's status as an honor student at the exclusive Canterbury School in Fort Myers, as well as the scholarships she has reportedly been offered to attend several Ivy League colleges, her mother declined to press charges over the incident, according to the Naples Daily News and the News-Press.

However, Lee County sheriff's deputies charged Hachero anyway. She faces counts of battery; aggravated assault with a deadly weapon without intent to kill; and unlawful possession of a firearm by a person younger than 18.

It is unclear what is going to happen with the car for which Hachero's mother co-signed, a black 2004 Nissan 350Z. The vehicle is highly prized among teenagers and other young people for being "hot." In this instance it is so "hot" it may put the teenager behind bars.

The handgun used by Hachero reportedly was previously stolen along with other weapons during a burglary......, like maybe by her boyfriend? This chick is looking for trouble.

The teen's unidentified mother referred a newspaper request for comment to attorney Jay Brizel, who declined to discuss the case. A spokeswoman for the high school also had no comment.

No one is talking but Hachero may be walking.....to the courthouse without the wheels.

Dead Man Walking - Well....Sorta

Corpse Attends Colombian Soccer Match

March 30, 2011
Colombia

A 17 year-old avid soccer fan and player, Christopher Jerome, who was gunned down by street thugs in a non soccer related murder, was taken from his wake on the shoulders of comrades to his last soccer match in the sky, inside his coffin.

Authorities said 200 -300 friends, family and hangers-on of the dead man overwhelmed gate attendants in order to bring the coffin inside the stadium. "It was a near riot," said one synonymous observer, who asked to be identified as someone else, "I'm surprised they didn't try to mount Christopher's coffin on the goal posts, or even attempt a corner kick with his cadaver."

There was no indication whether or not the display was Jerome's wish or the act of some demented friends and relatives. There also was no indication that Jerome watched or cheered his live colleagues on the field during their 3-1 loss. Jerome lay quietly throughout the match.

Someone had placed a very large bag of peanuts on top of Jerome's coffin. He was known for munching on peanuts during time outs and this was the ultimate time out.

The operator of the funeral home responsible for Jerome's burial said the fans needed to bring Jerome's body back soon before it could deteriorate further and begin to smell. The funeral director said her establishment couldn't be responsible for any diseases contracted as a result of handling the body and warned fans that necrophilia is a crime in Colombia.

The One You Can't Tell Your Friends About

Eight Foot 375 Pound Shark Jumps into Texas Fisherman's Boat

Tuesday, Mar. 29, 2011

The Associated Press

FREEPORT, Texas -- It's the catch of a lifetime, but it's not clear whether a Texas fisherman landed an 8-foot shark or it landed him.

Twenty-nine-year-old Jason Kresse (KRES'-ee) of Freeport says he and two crew members were dumping fish guts in the Gulf of Mexico about 3:45 a.m. Monday when they heard splashes in the distance and then something hit the side of their 25-foot boot.

A shark in an apparent rush to feed had jumped into the back and was thrashing around. Kresse says the crew couldn't get close to the 375-pound fish to toss it back in the water.

Out of water, the fish died an agonizing death several hours later.

The shark is on display at a seafood business in Freeport, about 55 miles south of Houston. Kresse says he plans to have it mounted. The shark was not asked its opinion about being displayed dead.

On arrival in port with the giant, dead fish, which had to be removed from his boat with a fork lift, Kresse was required to purchase a shark fishing permit.
