More strange fetishes

Some people sure have strange fetishes!

Take Dwight Pannell, 43, of Cincinnati for example. He was recently caught crawling under a library table at the University of Cincinnati where he then squirted liquid from a syringe onto a female students shoe. Why? Well he just wanted to try out his new camera or at least that’s what he told the police when they came to take him away!

Even police officers have fetishes it seems. Michael Curtin, 36, was removed from the Munhall, Pa., police force in February. As it turns out, he was formally charged in April with offering two under aged girls $1000 each to let him suck their toes.

Genius 8 year old passes law school entrance exam

Did you hear about the 8 year old Brazilian boy who’d always dreamed of becoming a judge? He just passed a law school entrance exam!

The news shocked Brazil’s legal profession and has prompted a federal investigation!

The Universidade Paulista, a multi-campus private university, issued a statement acknowledging that Joao Victor Portellinha de Oliveira had passed the entrance exam and that it initially enrolled him. But he was turned away from classes when he showed up with his father.

The University now claims that the fifth grader must graduate from high school before they’ll accept him into the university program. A university employee erred when they accepted Oliveira’s enrollment and said that the University fees would be returned to the family.

“I think they should have been more considerate,” the boy’s mother, Maristela, told the UOL news website. “At least they could’ve allowed him to visit the college’s facilities.”

The Brazilian Bar Association said the boy’s achievement should be a warning about the low standards of some of the country’s law schools.

Oliveira is two grade levels ahead of normal for his age, but his mother says he’s not a cloistered genius.

“He is a regular boy,” she told the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper. “He is very dedicated, likes to read and study, but he has fun and makes friends.”
