Quirky World: Diner sees red over naked woman’s saucy dance
Police in Florida arrested a woman who they said lay naked on a table at a South Beach diner and poured ketchup on herself.
Witnesses told Miami Beach police that a topless Angelic Valle turned over tables and chairs at Johnny Rockets, then removed the bottom of her bikini before climbing on the table and dousing herself in ketchup. Onlookers said she then began to perform a kind of dance while lying on the table.
One patron told police he grabbed a chair to make a barrier, while other male diners encircled her and waited for police. Valle, 23, had gone by the time officers arrived, but she was later located and arrested.
A butcher has created what he claims is the world’s most expensive sausage.
Kevin Turner, from Aldershot, Hampshire, created the £37 (€52) sausage, which includes Mangalitsa pork, truffles, Stilton cheese, powdered cep mushrooms, and vintage 1947 port, to mark British Sausage Week from November 2-8.
Speaking of the sausage, which would cost £700 per kilo, he said: “The average British sausage will cost you 35p each. These will be more than 100 times more expensive at £37 per sausage.”
He described it as a “posh banger” which might appeal to “those sausage connoisseurs with a more discerning taste”.
A group of female adventurers enjoyed a “mind-blowing” arrival in Samoa after completing the second leg of an 8,500-mile (13,680km) rowing journey across the Pacific Ocean.
The women, named the Coxless Crew, reached the South Pacific island on Sunday night, 2,262 nautical miles and 96 days after leaving Hawaii.
The quartet were welcomed into the capital, Apia, by the Gaualofa, a traditional twin-hulled Samoan sailing canoe. The four women, Laura Penhaul, Natalia Cohen, Emma Mitchell and Lizanne van Vuuren, were given garlands of flowers as they stepped on to dry land for the first time in more than three months.
As Christmas approaches, Royal Mail is reminding children they can write to Santa at the North Pole.
Letters should be sent before December 6 to reach him in time. One heart-warming letter written last year by Scarlett from Manchester asked for her presents to be sent to children in hospital. She wrote: “Dear Mr Santa, I would like my presents to go to a children’s ward.”
An assistant prosecutor in West Virginia has been suspended after pulling out a gun and threatening to shoot fake spiders scattered around the office as Halloween decorations.
Prosecuting lawyer John Bennett said Chris White informed other employees he was “deathly afraid of spiders” before threatening to shoot. He added White assured him the gun was not loaded.
White was suspended several weeks after the incident, because employees were still upset. Bennett has barred anyone other than the agency’s investigator from carrying guns in the office.
A man in Pennsylvania caused $4,000 (€3,600) damage to parking meters he knocked down for the $30 in coins inside.
Allen Delgrosso was captured on CCTV taking the four meters from a Greensburg car park.
Authorities said the 51-year-old backed his pick-up into a pole holding the meters, which loosened them enough for him to remove them and put them in his truck. Police pulled Delgrosso over a few days later. He has been charged with theft, receiving stolen property and criminal mischief.
A dentist is hoping to get ahead in the fight against post-Halloween cavities with cash.
KRQE-TV reports Byron Wall, of Cosmetic Dentistry of Albuquerque, New Mexico, said he is offering to buy candy back from trick-or-treaters.
Wall says children 14 years old or younger can pawn their sweets at his office. His office will pay $1 for every pound of sweets up to $5.
The purchased sweets goes to Blue Star Moms, a nonprofit supporting New Mexico troops.
A Salem witch has won a protective court order against a warlock she accuses of harassing her.
The Boston Globe reported a judge granted the order to witch priestess Lori Sforza, who accused self-proclaimed warlock Christian Day of harassing her over the phone and internet for years.
Sforza testified that Day made incessant phone calls and mocked her on Facebook. Day’s lawyer says the dispute is a fallout between onetime business partners. Day and Sforza both own occult shops in Salem, Massachusetts, though Day now lives in Louisiana.
Before granting the order, the judge said he was dismayed by the volume of late-night calls made to Sforza. The Globe reported Day then denied making the calls and stormed out of the courthouse.
