Let’s face it though companies prohibit and try to block adult sites, people do surf adults sites when at work. But a government employee in Japan may have broken the record. He has visited adult sites more than 780,000 times in just nine months. At his peak, he logged 170,000 hits on multiple sites in last July alone.

The 57-year-old man worked in the construction division of the city government office of Kinokawa in western Japan. Though he was spending way too much time and visiting the sites very frequently throughout the day, no one in the office had any clue. After nine months, this February his habit came to light when his computer was repeatedly infected with the same virus. That prompted the officials to check his online activities. People where shocked to find the frequency of his visits. He was visiting sites outside Japan that were not blocked by the security set up for the city computers. From June 2007 to February 2008, he had logged 780,000 visits to various adult sites. He was suspended for three months and demoted with a $190 monthly pay cut.

The question that comes to mind is that how he got time to do any work if he spent so much time watching porn. But then he works for the government, and so it is not clear if he did any work at all.

How about wrap the baby in a towel, get dressed, and jog to the hospital with the umbilical cord still attached. No, this is not a scene from a crazy movie. This is what Xochitl Parra, a 17-year old high school sophomore from California, did for real. Her new born son is doing fine.

She was home alone around 5:30 in the morning and taking shower to get ready for school. While in the shower the contractions got real close, and she felt the baby was coming out. She sat down and gave birth in the bathroom. When she was done she wrapped the baby in a towel, got dressed, and jogged to St. Mary Medical Center close to her home. If you are wondering why she did not call 911 or ask for help from family or neighbors, here are some clues. Her home phone was disconnected so she could not call 911. Xochitl had kept her pregnancy a secret in the fear that her mother won’t approve and throw her out of the house, so no one at home knew about it. As for asking the neighbors, she felt it was too early to wake them up. Fortunately, she arrived at the hospital with the umbilical cord and placenta still attached but without any incident, and the baby boy is doing great.

Xochitl’s mother agreed to take care of them so that she can continue with her education. What she did was stupid, but at the same time brave. And without doubt way better than dumping the baby in garbage can.

One on in their right mind would. But then again Angelique Vandeburg may not fall under that category. Last week, she shot her eight year old daughter in the thigh with a BB gun to win $1 bet from her boyfriend. The girl could not walk for the past week due to the pain.

On April 26 or 27, Angelique and her boyfriend got into a drinking session at her house. After she had a dozen beers, the boyfriend pulled out a BB gun and dared her to shoot the girl for one dollar. She grabbed the gun and shot her own daughter who was just sitting in bedroom along with her seven year old brother. The BB hit the girl on her high and then hit the younger boy. Even the drunk boyfriend couldn’t believe it and took off in a panic. The mother told the daughter not to tell anyone saying it was a “family thing.” It was not until four days later when a school counselor reported the incident to police a formal investigation started. Even after few days the circular mark from bruising was clearly visible, and Angelique was charged with intentional child abuse.

During her first court appearance on Friday, Angelique blamed it on the girl. According to her the girl was lying to get attention. That goes to show that some us of are not in our right mind even when sober.
