21 year old Antonio Vasquez was recently released from Fresno County Jail after prosecutors said they didn’t have enough evidence to file criminal charges.
He was briefly held in jail as a suspect after two California Farm workers had their home broken into and were attacked by a man. The suspect was said to have rubbed spices into the face of one man and had smacked the other with an 8 inch sausage!
Definitely a strange assault!
Sheriff’s Lt. Ian Burrimond says Vasquez was found hiding in a field wearing only a T-shirt, boxers and socks after the Saturday morning attack. Vasquez is also accused of stealing $900 from the home.

Hey! Yeah, you, sitting there sipping your drink, looking bored while you wait to surf onward, yes, that’s you right? You see that box in the upper right hand corner of the page? The rent me now box? Yeah, you do? CLICK ON IT. You won’t be sorry!
And them come back, ‘k?
Serpents on the loose!
Dan McBride, the assistant athletic director at Eastern Kentucky University found a two-foot-long ball python in his rental car this week as he left the Ohio Valley Conference baseball tournament in Paducah.
McBride got into his car with a colleague and saw the snake draped across the console. McBride said he thought it was a rubber snake someone put there as a joke. He even gave the snake a pat and put the car into drive.
As he drove toward the exit, the snake lifted its head. McBride hit the brakes, then started to get out of the car. But the snake was on the gear shift, forcing McBride to keep his foot on the brake. “You can’t act tough when you are sitting a foot and a half away from a snake,” said his colleague, Simon Gray.

Get a Tattoo!
Dyersville, Iowa – Inking a lover’s name on your skin is one of the big ‘no-no’s of common tattoo practice. There is, however, nothing in the books about getting a tattoo of an advance directive.
For the non-medical laypeople (and those unfamiliar with Terri Schiavo), an individual’s advanced directive or ‘living will’ is a document that specifies certain medical decisions in advance, usually including whether or not the person: a) wants to remain on life support, and b) wishes to be resuscitated.
To supplement the legal document rigmarole, 80-year old retired nurse Mary Wohlford indelibly marked “Do Not Resuscitate” on her chest. Wohlford carried out this stunt with her typical audacious aplomb, not only talking the reluctant bunch at Gary’s Professional Tattooing Studio into inking the tattoo, but also scoring a Senior Citizen discount.
The tattoo alone is not likely to be officially binding, but for Wohlford, the additional reassurance is quite likely priceless.
Just Gross …
In 2001 a bulimic woman in Toyoda, Japan, had been caught illegally dumping about 60 pounds a week of her own vomit in remote locations and, in 2003, that another bulimic woman had been caught discarding similar quantities near Madison, Wis. (perhaps, say health professionals, to assist their denial process by keeping their own homes untainted).
In April 2006, sheriff’s deputies reported a similar spree, ironically near an Iowa town called Mount Pleasant, that has now totaled about 50 bags’ worth over a three-year period, but at press time, the vomiter was still at large.
Sorry I know that was disgusting! Can you imagine storing vomit for a week before dumping it. Nooooooo!

In Savannah, Ga., in March, police picked up Carlos Little, wandering around a housing complex with a head injury, which he said was from a street robbery, but they later learned from a witness that Little and another man had fought over who was the better-”endowed” (and that, in the showdown, Little proved littler). And in Mexico, according to an April Reuters dispatch, one distinct presidential campaign theme this year is how candidates explicitly tout their manliness; one TV ad acclaims Roberto Medrazo for having “big ones.”
Gender Confusion
Shellie White, 30, was apprehended in Roanoke Rapids, N.C., in March, two years after she fled from Arizona with her two children in a custody dispute with her ex-husband. For most of the two years, she had been living as a man (with a female partner), having convinced the kids, now ages 6 and 8, that she was actually their father.
Sharp Memory
In March, Matt Robison, 21, of Ottawa, Ill., said he felt “like I’ve done something memorable with my life” after sitting for a 14-hour session in which he received 1,016 skin piercings to eclipse the previous Guinness Book record.
It was a Blast
Adult-education teacher Robert Colla was hospitalized in Ventura, Calif., with severe burns and shrapnel wounds, and lost part of his right hand, when he tried to smash a bug with the paperweight on his desk. The “paperweight,” which Colla had found years ago, was a 40 mm artillery shell, which, unknown to Colla, was still live.
