Man Busted Chugging Hair Spray in Department Store
A Florida man was arrested in a local Wal-Mart for shoplifting hair spray….in his stomach.
The Northwest Florida Daily News reported that:
a Wal-Mart employee in Okaloosa County told police he’d been trying to catch the man in the act for weeks.The store’s loss prevention officer, Christopher White, reportedly told police how employees would often find empty bottles of hairspray after the man left the building.But last Friday, Mr White said, he watched the man take a bottle of hairspray off a shelf and walk into the store’s garden department, where he drank it.
Mr White said the man then walked back, allegedly swapped the empty bottle with a full one, then drank it in the toy department.
The newspaper reported the man was alleged to have paid for some prescription medicines, but left without paying for the hairspray.
I know from first-hand experience you can get a mighty fine high from just a whiff of hairspray. I used to carpool with my wife and if we were running late she’d fix her hair on the way to work. Drinking it down must really kick it up a notch.
Doctors Remove 10 Pound Hairball……..from an 18 Year Old Girl
The New England Journal of Medicine’s current issue includes a story about doctors removing a ten-pound hairball from an 18-year old girl. Apparently the girl had been eating her own hair for years. Look at that thing! It looks like a seal’s tail!
Daughter’s Poop Saves Granny’s Life
Continuing with the gross stories, The Telegraph is reporting that a grandmother who contracted a potentially fatal superbug in Scotland has been saved after a hospital fed her daughter’s feces to her. The treatment apparently involves liquidizing a sample of the feces and feeding the liquid down a tube to the patient’s stomach.
Granny didn’t seem to mind it much:
“When you tell people about the treatment, they wrinkle their noses,” Mrs McEwan told the Daily Record.
“But it’s not like they put it on a plate and have you eat it. You don’t ever see or smell a thing.”
Yuck.
Itching Powder Bandit Arrested at Disneyland Paris
A man in Paris has been arrested for putting itching powder on children and then videotaping them as they scratched themselves. This all happened at Disneyland Paris. He apparently intended to use the videotape for sexual purposes. The man was also photographing young girls when they dropped their underwear to relieve the itching.
Where were these kids’ parents?
When police searched the man’s house they found a bunch more child pornography, including a videotape of the man raping his niece. What a guy!
and finally………
4Real Baby to Be Called Superman
I want to end this week’s edition with a lighter story. A New Zealand couple’s dream of naming their newborn son 4Real has been thwarted by the country’s Registrar-General of Births, Deaths and Marriages. The name was rejected on the grounds that the dictionary definition of a name was “a sequence of characters”.
The couple has decided to name the boy ‘Superman,’ but they still intend to call him 4Real. The story also says that:
The Wheatons initially decided on the name after seeing an ultrasound scan and realizing their baby was “for real”.
They believed the spelling 4Real was the clearest way of writing it down.
Pat said some of the criticism of him and his wife regarding their choice had been difficult to handle.
“I did go online and Google some of the stories and as tough as I am, it does get to you, but there’s no point getting upset.
“It could be a 10-year-old school girl making those comments.”
He said people’s negative reactions were “predictable” because the name he and his wife had chosen wasn’t the norm.
“No matter what, it’s gonna stay 4Real,” Pat said. “I’m certainly not a quitter.”
You go, Mr. Wheaton. I like the way you’re keeping it real!

As for the name…really, don’t those parents care how their child is going to feel when he’s in school??? Why is it all about them??? Good grief!

Okay…that hairball is disgusting!!! Why would you eat your own hair?! Ewww…
I’m sure 4Real aka Superman will grow up to despise his parents for the name(s), and he’ll probably get beat up in school.
