Like wannabe Dark Knights answering the call of the “bat signal,” throngs of grown men wearing tights and capes converge this week to revel in all manner of superhero lore and merchandising at the 39th annual Comic Con Convention.
More than 125,000 people are expected to attend the four-day event, which opens Thursday, to indulge in a veritable feast of the latest in comic-related books, movies, toys, games and memorabilia.
A Peruvian model has posed naked using Peru’s flag as a saddle while mounted on a horse. Authorities are baying for her blood and in all likelihood, she will face charges that could put her in jail for up to four years for offending patriotic symbols, as per the country’s defense minister.
Leysi Suarez, a dancer for the band Alma Bella, or Beautiful Soul, was splashed on the cover of DFarandula magazine earlier this week which caused an uproar among Peruvians.
Leysi defended herself by stating it was patriotic to pose for the photo using the national flag. According to an expert in law, it depends whether the model was using the flag to cover her naked body or if she tried to use it as a saddle.
Going by the picture, she ain’t covering her body rather it was the horse’s body which is getting covered.
Guess what! Tibetan spiritual head, Dalai Lama currently residing in Northern India has not been extended an invitation for the Olympics to be held in China later this year.
The reason for non-invitation is speculative. China fears he would steal Chinese President Hu Jintao’s thunder although it would act as an image building act.
“It’s supposed to be Hu Jintao’s Olympics, but it’ll become the Dalai Lama’s Olympics if he attends,” a source familiar with government policy said requesting anonymity.
Dalai Lama had fled to India in 1959 when China invaded Tibet. He has been under the care of the Indian government ever since.
Earlier this year, China had solely blamed the Dalai Lama and his followers for instigating unrest and attempting to sabotage the Olympics, charges he has repeatedly denied.
For China, the Games are supposed to showcase the prosperity and modernization of what is now the world’s fourth-biggest economy after three decades of economic reforms and rapid growth.
Ma Ying-jeou, the Harvard-educated, democratically elected president of self-ruled Taiwan has also been omitted from the list. Taiwan was claimed by Beijing as its own since their split in 1949 amidst civil war.
In the worst kind of daymare (derived from nightmare), a woman in Maine had her heart in her mouth when she found a humongous snake crawling out of her washer. The crawler was identified as a non-poisonous python and had sneaked through water pipes to reach the washer. It is believed that the snake might have made its way after the rinse cycle.
The woman, Mara Ranger started unloading clothes from her washer and soon after taking out her blue jeans, she reached back into the load and felt something move.
“I jumped back and all of sudden its head starts coming out of the washing machine and it looked huge,” Ranger told WMTW-TV.
Ranger had the presence of mind to close the lid and call for help.
Maine Animal Damage Control’s Richard Burton reached into the machine wearing a pair of welding gloves, and was shocked to pull out a 8-foot snake. He was expecting something smaller.
Several theories were cropped up on how the snake ended up in the washing machine, but with none substantiating, it still remains a mystery. Burton guessed it was somebody’s pet and that the owner ended up tossing it out into the wild when it got too big. It then made its way through the water pipes and into the washing machine, probably after the load was done, he said.
Life for Ranger will never be the same again after this horrific experience. She might call it ‘brush with death’.
“Now that it’s gone, I’m going to be checking crevasses and corners,” Ranger said. “I’m going to be looking in the tub first — before and after, maybe even during, the rinse cycle.”
Mark Mendicus, 26-year-old Staples employee and principal owner of the fantasy baseball team Beat With Uggla Stick, blasted his underperforming team in the media Monday, going so far as to single out individual players, criticize their recent play, and question their commitment to winning.
“They all suck,” a visibly frustrated Mendicus told reporters following Beat With Uggla Stick’s head-to-head 8-2 loss to division rivals The Mark Currys. “[Alex] Rios sucks, Delmon [Young] sucks, Pedro [Martinez] fucking sucks. Everybody on my team sucks.”
