The law in Oklahoma says that it is illegal for any two animals to have sex in public within Dibble city limits - even if the animal is fenced in on private land.
But when the owner Carol Medenhall found out about the charges, she said: 'I kind of thought if anyone was caught having sex in public, it could have been me.'

For Gangs, Tattoos are out....College Look is in...!!!!
CHIMALTENANGO, Guatemala (AP) - Tattoos, baggy pants and tank tops are out. Smart blazers and university recruits are in.
It's an extreme makeover for Central America's gangs. Facing harsh crackdowns by government security forces and citizen vigilante groups, they are trying to lower their profile.
The Mara 18 and Mara Salvatrucha gangs are known throughout Central America and the U.S. for their brazen tactics, including beheading their enemies and covering entire buildings and even their bodies with gang symbols.
Now, according to anti-gang operatives, these traditionally uneducated and aimless youth have begun recruiting high school and college students, and are expanding their criminal repertoire from minor robbery to large-scale extortion, prostitution, car theft and kidnappings.
"These days we can't even go out onto the street, where the police look at us and we end up dead," said Giovanni Estrada, 25, an imprisoned gang member with tattooed face who goes by the nickname of "Little Crazy." "That's why we tell (new gang members) not to paint their faces." The gangs' increasingly lucrative pursuits have attracted high school and college students looking to make a buck. It's a breed apart from the dropouts and other gang members whose main aim was a need to belong.

Chuck Norris is THE MAN...from the Chuck Norris Fact Generator....a Maggotx Fav
Chuck Norris does not sleep. He waits.
Chuck Norris does not hunt because the word hunting infers the probability of failure. Chuck Norris goes killing.
The Dinosaurs looked at Chuck Norris the wrong way once. ONCE.
If you can see Chuck Norris, he can see you. If you can’t see Chuck Norris you may be only seconds away from death.
If at first you don’t succeed, you’re obviously not Chuck Norris.
The chief export of Chuck Norris is pain.
Chuck Norris is currently suing NBC, claiming Law and Order are trademarked names for his left and right legs.
Chuck Norris has already been to Mars; that’s why there are no signs of life there.
Chuck Norris built a time machine and went back in time to stop the JFK assassination. As Oswald shot, Norris met all three bullets with his beard, deflecting them. JFK’s head exploded out of sheer amazement.
When Chuck Norris sends in his taxes, he sends blank forms and includes only a picture of himself, crouched and ready to attack. Chuck Norris has not had to pay taxes ever.
As a teen Chuck Norris impregnated every nun in a convent tucked away in the hills of Tuscany. Nine months later the nuns gave birth to the 1972 Miami Dolphins, the only undefeated and untied team in professional football history.
A blind man once stepped on Chuck Norris’ shoe. Wilson replied, “Don’t you know who I am? I’m Chuck Norris!” The mere mention of his name cured this man blindness. Sadly the first, last, and only thing this man ever saw, was a fatal roundhouse delivered by Chuck Norris.
Chuck Norris doesn’t read books. He stares them down until he gets the information he wants.
To prove it isn’t that big of a deal to beat cancer. Chuck Norris smoked 15 cartons of cigarettes a day for 2 years and acquired 7 different kinds of cancer only to rid them from his body by flexing for 30 minutes.
Before he forgot a gift for Chuck Norris, Santa Claus was real.
Someone once tried to tell Chuck Norris that roundhouse kicks aren’t the best way to kick someone. This has been recorded by historians as the worst mistake anyone has ever made.
When an episode of Walker Texas Ranger was aired in France, the French surrendered to Chuck Norris just to be on the safe side.
According to Einstein’s theory of relativity, Chuck Norris can actually roundhouse kick you yesterday.
Every time Chuck Norris smiles it saves the life of a dying man. Ironically, Chuck Norris only smiles after he kills someone.
Chuck Norris died ten years ago, but the Grim Reaper can’t get up the courage to tell him.

A Windy Day of Disc Golf with a Sick Cubby
A Heartwarming (should I say Shocking) Christmas Story....
Japan eel wishes you an electric Christmas
TOKYO (Reuters) - Not even a blackout could put a damper on festivities at one Japanese aquarium where an electric eel is being used to light up its Christmas tree.
Two aluminum panels inside the eel's tank work as electrodes to catch its power. Cables attached to the panels supply the lights on the nearby tree with electricity.
Inventor Kazuhiko Minawa said it took him more than a month to devise a system that would effectively harness eel power.
"If we could gather all electric eels from all around the world, we would be able to light up an unimaginably giant Christmas tree," Minawa told Reuters Television. ( NOW THERE'S A THOUGHT...!!!!...mag)
Eels are widely eaten in Japan, especially in the summer, when their vitamin-rich flesh is seen as a way to regain stamina sapped by the heat.
The tree, which will stay illuminated until December 25, is proving a popular attraction, drawing tourists from all over the country. "I would love to have an eel like this at home. This is very nature-friendly," said visitor Harumi Yayoi.
Wow.....Like Rock It Dude.....This is how they do Driftin' in the Ukraine....

Alright......Make Fun Of Me....Go Ahead and Laugh....But I didn't Make This Up.....!!!!!
South Korean scientists tinkering with fluorescence protein genes say they have bred white Turkish Angora cats to glow red under ultraviolet light.
The pair of cats cloned from a mother's altered skin cell are nearly a year old. The researchers stated that their work could help unravel mysteries of some 250 genetic diseases suffered by both humans and cats. The findings also could be used to clone endangered tigers, leopards, and other animals, the report said.

A REAL AMERICAN HERO...Maybe More of us Should Carry Firearms..!!!!!....Had she been in Virginia Tech she might have saved a lot of Student's Lives.
Jeanne Assam, 42, a member of New Life Church, said she remained calm and focused by putting her faith in God during the intense, ear-splitting gunfight in Colorado Springs.
Armed with a handgun, she calmly confronted Matthew J. Murray, 24, who was armed with an assault rifle, two handguns and 1,000 rounds of ammunition, police said.
"It was scary," the former Twin Cities patrol officer said this afternoon at a Colorado Springs news conference. "I'll never forget the guns were so loud."
"But ... God was with me and I asked him to be with me. And he never left my side," she said.
New Life Senior Pastor Brady Boyd credited Assam with stopping the bloodshed that claimed the lives of two teenage sisters. Murray had killed two people and wounded two others earlier Sunday at an Arvada missionary training center.
Assam shot Murray dead after he ignored her commands to drop his weapon and fired on her.
"When the shots were fired, she rushed toward the scene and encountered the attacker there in a hallway," Boyd said. "There could have been a great loss of life yesterday, and she probably saved over 100 lives."

WOW...Talk about the Consequence of Rising Fuel Costs...I'll take mine Medium Rare.....true story
HONG KONG, Dec 7 (Reuters) - China's worst fuel crunch in years has led a crematorium to dump half-burnt corpses to try to save on diesel costs, a Hong Kong newspaper said on Friday.
Villagers in Hengyang county, in the southern province of Hunan, discovered the practice when an "unbearable stench" started coming from the site, and tried to block a road on Wednesday to stop funeral vehicles from delivering more bodies.
The village sent people to investigate the smell and the South China Morning Post said they saw "crematorium workers putting half-burnt human remains and organs in plastic bags and throwing them into a nearby ditch".
"As the price of diesel rose, we saw more and more bags thrown out from the crematorium," the paper quoted Xiao Gaoyi, a village representative and one of the witnesses, as saying.

Yo Dude.....as fast as you are....you're not going to outrun a Happy Hippo...! good thing they can't run very far..!!
A terrified gamekeeper had a lucky escape after he managed to sprint to safety from a charging hippopotamus.
The dangerous beast chased the experienced ranger for more than 100 metres before it stopped for a rest at the Murchison Falls National Park in Uganda.
The aggressive animals weigh up to two tons and have been known to reach speeds of up to 30mph on land.

Wow...This Guy is Wacked Out...plans to play every Disc Golf Course in the US in 3 years....Crazier than Cubby..????
To answer the second question first; possibly. But this is not why he is doing this. The reason for this tour is to create awareness of the sport on a national level through the press and at the grass roots level. While on this tour, Alan will be confirming information in the course listings directory at the PDGA and submitting suggested updates. Along the way, Alan will be promoting the PDGA and his sponsors in hopes of increasing disc golf awareness and promoting PDGA membership.
I'm skeptical he hasn't posted any pictures of himself on his Blog or web page ...Hmmmmm...does this guy really exist....??????
This is a Great way to "Grow The Sport".......mag
