They had sex WHERE?

ROME (Reuters) - An Italian couple who were caught having sex in a church confessional box while morning Mass was being said have repented and made peace with the local bishop.

The couple, in their early 30s, were detained by police earlier this month after they had made love in the confessional box in the cathedral in northern Cesena. They were cautioned for obscene acts in public and disturbing a religious function.

Their lawyer said they had been drinking all night and realized they had gone too far.

The lawyer told the area's local newspaper on Wednesday the couple met with the local bishop on Tuesday night, asked for his forgiveness and that he had given it.

Last week the bishop celebrated a "Mass of reparation" in the cathedral where the confessional box incident took place to make up for the sacrilege

Smoking And Obesity Can Make You Deaf
Tuesday June 10, 2008

Smoking or being overweight can lead to loss of hearing, according to new research.

High BMI linked to hearing lossExperts found a link between how much somebody smokes and for how long, and their chances of suffering deafness.

People with a higher body mass index (BMI) were also more likely to suffer hearing loss, the study found.

A total of 4,083 men and women between the ages of 53 and 67 were recruited from across seven European countries, including Germany, Belgium and the UK.

Exposure to noise in the workplace was by far the "most significant and consistently replicated risk factor," the researchers said.

But they also found a "significant association" between how much somebody smoked and for how many years, and high-frequency hearing loss.

Erik Fransen, doctor of biomedical sciences at the University of Antwerp in Belgium and lead author on the paper, said it was difficult to say how much higher risk people had of suffering hearing loss if they smoked or were overweight.

But he said the association was linear - with higher BMIs and more smoking leading to greater hearing loss.

"The hearing loss is proportional to how much you smoke and your BMI," he said.

"There's a greater increase in risk as BMI increases and smoking increases."

The study, which was carried out with funding from the Royal National Institute for the Deaf, was published in the Journal of the Association for Research into Otolaryngology.

Japanese patient's 'tumour' turns out to be 25-year-old towel Wed Jun 4, 3:47 AM ET

TOKYO (AFP) - Doctors who carried out surgery on a Japanese man to remove a "tumour" had good news and bad news for him. He did not have cancer -- but the "growth" that had been causing him pain was in fact a 25-year-old surgical towel.

The patient had been carrying the cloth since 1983, when surgeons at the Asahi General Hospital in Chiba prefecture near Tokyo left it in him after an operation to treat an ulcer, a spokesman for the hospital said.

The man, now 49, went in to another hospital in late May after suffering abdominal pain.

When examinations found what was believed to be an eight-centimetre (3.2-inch) tumour, he underwent the operation to remove it. It was only then that surgeons realised it was a towel.

"The towel was greenish blue although we are not sure about its original colour," the Asahi General Hospital spokesman said, adding it had been crumpled to the size of a softball.

Asahi hospital officials visited the man and apologised, he said.

The former patient has no plans to sue the hospital, which is in talks with him over compensation or other measures, the official said.

Japanese media reports said the man, who was not identified, still had his spleen removed.

Pa. crews rescue nude man stuck in portable potty

Jun 6, 6:24 PM (ET)

LEBANON, Pa. (AP) - Rescue crews had to cut apart a portable toilet to rescue a man who got stuck naked inside the potty. Authorities say the 31-year-old man used his cell phone to call 911 on Sunday from inside a portable toilet.

Police say the man had been drinking and had taken off his clothes. Somehow, he immersed himself in the holding tank.

Deputy fire commissioner Chris Miller told WPMT-TV, "I've been on the job in one form or fashion for 21 years, and this is the first port-a-potty rescue I've ever had."

Police charged the man with public drunkenness and creating a health code violation, but they have no idea why he was in the toilet with his clothes off. They said he didn't suffer any serious injuries.

Family Moving Into New Home Finds Military Warhead

State troopers and military officials removed a rocket with a warhead Thursday from the yard of a home near North Pole, Alaska, after a family moved into the house, which had been vacant four years.

Troopers and personnel from Eielson Air Force Base arrived at a home in a subdivision near North Pole and discovered an "inert warhead" about 2.75 inches long, Alaska State Trooper spokeswoman Beth Ipsen told FOXNews.com Friday.

The area was evacuated voluntarily by officials and an explosive ordnance disposal team from the base recovered the weapon, which was inert but still attached to a propulsion device, the Fairbanks News-Miner reported.

A spokesman from Eielson told FOXNews.com that a Department of Defense unit recovered a military-grade weapon at the residence. He couldn't say if the rocket belonged to the base or how it got there. The rocket and warhead are now at the base's munitions squadron.

A neighbor, Rachelle Garver, told the News-Miner that the home had been vacant for four years, though a family just moved in this week.

Couple "divorced without knowledge" 

NEW DELHI (Reuters) - A happily married couple in northern India got the shock of their lives when they learnt they had divorced 10 years ago, the Times of India reported on Tuesday.

Meena Verma, a mother of two children, tried to file a case against her in-laws for violence, only to be told by a court in Haryana state that she had been divorced for a decade.

Her husband Virender told the Times of India his brother, a lawyer, had apparently forged the divorce a decade earlier, when the couple were contemplating making a similar complaint.

"It seems the divorce was doctored to defeat Meena's possible complaint," he said.

The couple filed a petition accusing Virender's brother, Surinder Verma, and four associates, of forgery. Surinder denied the accusation.

Dutch man injures posterior in mooning accident
UTRECHT, Netherlands - Utrecht police say a 21-year-old Dutch man is recovering after a "mooning" that went horribly wrong.

A police statement says the man and two others had run down a street in Utrecht with their pants pulled down in the back "for a joke."

It says that at one point the 21-year-old "pushed his behind against the window of a restaurant" that broke and resulted in "deep wounds to his derriere."

The statement released Tuesday says police detained the three men after the incident Sunday morning. But the cafe owner decided not to press charges after the men agreed to pay for the broken window.

The injured man was treated for his injuries at a nearby hospital.
