Speaking of spooked elephants

This happened right outside the city where I was born: Enid, Oklahoma.

Pair shocked by elephant encounter

(UKPA) 13 hours ago

It may not be unusual to see a deer or a cow crossing Oklahoma's rural highways but one couple returning from church had an altogether bigger problem.

Bill and Deena Carpenter came within inches of a head-on collision with an elephant which had escaped from a nearby circus late on Wednesday.

Mr Carpenter, 68, said: "I didn't have time to hit the brakes. The elephant blended in with the road. At the very last second I said 'elephant!'"

His last-second swerve meant they sideswiped the 29-year-old female elephant in Enid, about 80 miles (129 kilometres) north of Oklahoma City.

"So help me Hanna, had I hit that elephant, not swerved, it would have knocked it off its legs, and it would have landed right on top of us," he said. "We'd have been history."

The couple, who own a wheat farm, weren't injured. But the eight-foot, 4,500-pound elephant was examined for a broken tusk and a leg wound.

The elephant's tusk punched through the side of the couple's SUV, tearing up sheet metal. After sideswiping the elephant, his wife, Deena, flagged some people down and used their mobile phone to call police. Mr Carpenter said: "The dispatcher didn't believe her: 'You hit a what?'"

Enid vet Dr Dwight Olson said the elephant was hiding in some bushes just off the highway when he arrived shortly after the accident. Handlers from the circus were able to calm it down, and Dr Olson cleaned the leg wound and gave it some pain killer.

"I don't believe there's a broken bone, but I don't have an X-ray room big enough to examine it," said Dr Olson.

The elephant had escaped from the Family Fun Circus at the Garfield County Fairgrounds earlier on Wednesday after being spooked.

Layla died after three days of exorcism

Moondance — Fri, 06 Nov 2009 19:23:04 GMT

Layla Hachichi, an 18-year-old student, died on 10 October in Antwerp as a result of burn wounds on her chest, abdomen and legs. After weeks of denials, Layla's parents have finally admitted to the federal police that they had tried to have the devil exorcised from their daughter. They were immediately arrested. The faith healer, who conducted the exorcism, had already been arrested. According to Layla's mother, Layla suffered from eating disorders, resulting in her becoming extremely thin. An exorcist spent three days with her, allegedly pouring boiling water on her during the final session. Whether or not that was the cause of death has yet to be confirmed by an autopsy. According to obstinate rumours, the parents wanted to cure their daughter of her lesbianism instead.

The lawyer who is defending the Islamic parents says he believes they acted in good faith and were desperate to heal their daughter.

Be warned, it's a bit rude

There was a young man who was so well-endowed that it was bothering his knee. Three doctors and one nurse were in the operating room to remedy the situation.

The first doctor said, "We'll just take a big hunk off the end." They discussed it and decided that would affect his sensitivity.

The second doctor said, "We'll just take a big hunk out of the middle of it." They discussed it and decided it would change the texture and feel of it.

The third doctor said, "We'll just take a big hunk off the base of it." They discussed it and said that would give him erection problems.

The doctors looked at the nurse who had tears running down her cheeks.

The nurse cried, "Can't we just make his legs longer?"

David is going to be on TV locally next week to discuss the neurotransmitter (brain implant) he has that has so far stopped his seizures for almost 5 years. You can read about him and the implant at http://tinyurl.com/y9s9frr
I'm excited about it because he's my son,of course,but also because it's getting the word out there that there is help for people like David out there. It's been a long hard road for my wonderful son,17 years,but he never stopped working toward finding some help. I sure admire him.

This made me smile

i caused a stir and a big stink on 'entertainment weekly' message 'comment' sections by saying adam lambert's cd cover looks like 'a retro glam connie francis' and by trashing carrie underwood's and miley cyrus's 'singing'

adam does have a hell of a lot of talent...i just suspect that his retro 80's style was chosen just to have a recognizable definable 'look' which stands out in the current pop landscape ,more than from his personal authentic leanings... i could be wrong and the issue isn't earth shattering (LOL). i fight like a demon to vigorously defend paul macca everywhere even when it does appear he might possibly be being a little bit cheesy and commercial with something-- i'm from the school 'anything he does is cool!' And some jealous british people just can't take it. hey it's called being a 'devoted true fan,' people. you think?
