CHINESE DIVA DOG WALKS UPRIGHT AND CARRIES HER OWN PURSE

Lu Lu is a very unusual dog indeed and she has become somewhat of a celebrity in Zhumadian, Henan Province, China where she lives with her owners. The 18 month-old Miniature Pinscher prefers to walk upright on her back legs while toting a teddy bear-shaped purse that holds her own waste bags wherever she goes. Her owner, Zhou Guanshun, a retired teacher, taught the dog to walk on two legs by holding one of its front paws. “Lu Lu was given to us by a friend and we loved her instantly. She learned to walk upright when he was just four months old, and hasn’t stopped,” Zhou told the press. Adorable Lu Lu travels every morning with her owner to the nearby Century Square for a walk among local exercisers who love her and bring her snacks. Lu Lu is a star in her own right, but she demands no special dressing room or privileges. She just needs space to walk upright and room for her adoring fans. Even when she rests, she prefers to squat on her back legs while keeping her body upright and her front legs off the ground.

SCULPTURE MADE OUT OF PANDA TURDS WORTH BIG BUCKS

"A sculpture made out of panda turds was put up for auction at the Henan Art Museum in China, and then subsequently sold to a famous Swiss collector for a whopping 300,000 yuan, or 45,000 USD.
Pictured above is a recreation of the Venus De Milo, an ancient Greek statue depicting the Greek goddess Aphrodite, better known by the Romans as Venus. It was created by well-renowned Chinese sculptor Zhu Cheng. Well, actually, Cheng merely directed a team of nine Chengdu art students. Apparently, he wasn’t too keen on putting his hands on poo-poo. Regardless, this isn’t he first time Cheng has dabbled in poop. Over the years, he’s sculpted a dizzying array of poop sculptures depicting various subjects, from Australian koala bears to a Japanese soldier surrendering his weapon at the end of World War II. Cheng was inspired to begin creating works of poop after he overheard zookeepers at a panda reserve discussing ways to make better use of all the panda turds lying around."

MAN LOSES HIS FAMILY JEWELS TO YOUNGER WOMAN

(CBS)  A German dad took matters of morality into his own hands when he sought out and castrated the 57-year-old boyfriend of his 17-year-old daughter, reports the British daily Telegraph. Helmut Seifert, 47, an ethnic German originally from Russia, was enraged when he heard his daughter was having a relationship with the much older Phillip Genscher, the Telegraph reports. Seifert claims to have approached police in his hometown of Bielefeld but officers said they were powerless to intervene, the Telegraph reports "You said you couldn't stop him - so I did," Seifert said. "I saw it as my duty as a father." Seifert, a factory worker, recruited two work colleagues, went to Genscher's house, forced the older man to take off his pants and then castrated him while fully conscious, the Telegraph reports. "The severed testicles were taken away by the perpetrator," the police said in a statement. The victim barely survived the incident, but did not have all his parts reattached, the Telegraph reports.

WHOA..... wait a minute, maybe this isn't insane after all!

HE CAN SEE WHERE HE WAS

(AP)  A New York University arts professor might not have eyes on the back of his head, but he's coming pretty close. Wafaa Bilal, a visual artist widely recognized for his interactive and performance pieces, had a small digital camera implanted in the back of his head - all in the name of art. Bilal said Tuesday that he underwent the procedure for an art project that was commissioned by a new museum in Doha, Qatar, in the Arab Gulf. Titled "The 3rd I," it is one of 23 contemporary works commissioned for the opening of the Mathaf: Arab Museum of Modern Art on Dec. 30. The exhibition is entitled "Told/Untold/Retold." "I am going about my daily life as I did before the procedure," the Iraqi-born artist said in a statement. Bilal, who is teaching three courses this semester at NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, will wear the camera for one year. It is 2 inches in diameter and less than an inch thick. The project will raise "important social, aesthetic, political, technological and artistic questions," he said. "

TRASH STORY

(AP)  A New York City woman says she'll fight a $100 summons for tossing a newspaper into a city litter basket. Delia Gluckin told The New York Post that she got the ticket from a Sanitation Department agent on Sunday. The Manhattan resident said she offered to take the paper out but the agent wrote out the summons for putting "improper refuse in a city litter basket." In a statement, the department said that many city residents use corner litter baskets as "their personal household dumping site." But it conceded that "being fined for tossing a newspaper into a basket is odd." The 80-year-old Gluckin says she's on a fixed income and will fight the fine.
City litter baskets have signs that read: "litter only" and "no household trash."

I LOVE MEESE WITH MY CHEESE

(AP)  It was hard to explain, that dead mouse baked into a loaf of bread. British officials have released the photo which proved that Stephen Forse wasn't kidding when he claimed to find the wee creature while making sandwiches for his children. Forse, who bought the bread from a supermarket in 2009, said Monday he first thought a dark spot in the bread - branded Best of Both - was some poorly mixed dough. Then he noticed it had fur. The case wound up in court. Premier Foods pleaded guilty to violating health laws, and was fined 16,821 pounds ($26,470) on Friday. Forse says his gruesome discovery made him feel ill, and he felt sick again when health officers noted that the mouse's tail was missing, perhaps already eaten in a sandwich.

High School Football Player Gets Penalized For Pointing To God 

By Brittany Pounders 12/02/10

"Occasionally we come across a story like this and the injustice can only make you sit back, shake your head, and wonder what we are coming to. A extraordinary young man, Ronnie Hastie, who plays high school football in Spokane, Washington, always makes it a habit after scoring a touchdown to quickly kneel in the end zone and point to God – in an effort to give him the credit for the score and for his talent. In this particular game, after a 23 yard touchdown, he took 1-2 seconds to do what he’s always done traditional…quickly kneel and point to God.  But this time, the ref didn’t appreciate it and threw a penalty flag directly at his chest- docking the team 15 yards."
