WEIRD: Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac: Beloved doctor dies after getting stuck in lover's house chimney while trying to sneak in!
Updated: 09/01 17:50Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac, a celebrated and praised doctor in Bakersfield (California), was discovered dead in a chimney of the house of a man she was dating. It seems like she was desperate to get inside the house and had tried different ways of getting in after she reportedly climbed on the roof of the house on Wednesday night, removed the chimney cap and slid feet first down the chute. Her body was found 3 days after it got stuck.
Although police have not released his name, NY Daily reports the man to be William Moodie.
Moodie seem to have sneaked out of the house on Wednesday to "avoid confrontation" while Dr Kotarac was trying to get inside the house. She even used a shovel to get in.
Mr Moodie, 58, described their relationship as 'on-again, off-again', but refused to comment on the circumstances surrounding her death.
He said: 'She made an unbelievable error in judgment and nobody understands why, and unfortunately she's passed away.
'She had her issues - she had her demons - but I never lost my respect for her.'

Her body was not discovered until a house-sitter noticed a smell and fluids coming from the fireplace on Saturday. The house-sitter and her son investigated with a torch and found Dr Kotarac's body wedged around 2ft above the interior fireplace opening.
It took firefighters nearly 5 hours to take the chimney apart and get Kotarac’s body out.
My personal speculation - It seems like Dr Kotarac had some argument or fight with her boyfriend. When she tried to get into the house to confront him, he didn't let her in - which led her to try all possible ways to get it. The last one is to try the Santa trick which left her stuck, resulting in her death.
Questions for this theory -
- Did the Moodie really leave the house before she got stuck? Or after?
- Why didn't he come back wednesday night?
- Why didn't he smell anything on Thursday?
Something definitely sounds wrong!

WEIRD: Tom Magill: Man saved by Dodge Charger after he jumps 40 stories to commit suicide
Updated: 09/02 04:12Tom Magill, 22, tried to commit suicide by jumping 40-stories at 10:44 a.m. from atop the West End Towers (on West End Avenue at 63rd Street), but fortunately he landed on a parked Dodge Charger Coupe which took most of the impact of the fall and Magill only suffered a shattered ankle and a collapsed lung.
I can't believe this. My car saved his life," said Guy McCormack, 40, a worker at a nearby construction site who had borrowed the 2008 red Dodge Charger from his wife.
Magill fell more than 400 feet -- and reached a maximum drop speed of about 126 mph -- before crashing onto the roof and rear window of the vehicle, which was parked along the west side of the building.
Construction workers and the building's superintendent witnessed Magill's leap from the roof, and some residents told cops they saw him soaring past their windows.
Anthony Monteforte, a contractor who heard Magill slam into the muscle car, said "he looked like a pretzel. There was not much blood."
Another construction worker heard a "huge thud."
Remarkably, Magill was conscious when EMS arrived, and a police source said he "wasn't likely" to die. He also did not suffer brain damage.
"It's amazing. If he hit the pavement, it would've been worse," said building tenant Kim Courtney.
Police said no suicide note was found. But Magill says on his Facebook page, "I hate my life."Source: www.nypost.com

WEIRD: Couthi Bai: Indian woman who breastfeeds a calf (Video)
Updated: 08/31 15:58In a country, India, where cows are worshipped, this might not be a big story - but does make a very weird story for the rest of the world. Couthi Bai, a villager from Kilchu, India, started breastfeeding an orphaned calf after its mother died due to natural causes. She still feeds the 46-day old calf 3-4 times a day!
Since the death of the calf's mother when it was only three days old, Chouthi Bai has breastfed the animal three or four times a day.
"After her mother died, I held her in my arms and breastfed her. I nurtured her by feeding her my milk. She was so young when the cow died. For me there is no difference between a calf and an infant," Bai, a resident of Kilchu village in India's desert state of Rajasthan, said on Saturday.
Bai's calf seems to have taken naturally to the breast-milk, which is supplemented with chapatis and water.
"I feed her three or four times a day, the same amount an infant requires in a day. Sometimes we have to feed her chapatis, we give her water to drink and slowly she will grow on this diet," Bai said.
The 46-day-old calf now follows her wherever she goes.
"The gods will be pleased if I raise her," Bai said.
I do understand that cows are sacred for Hindus in the world, but this one is a little too much for me to understand. On one hand I like the fact that she saved the calf from possible starvation but then don't they have baby bottles that could have been used instead with real cow milk?

Updated: 08/30 03:22Michelle Fonville, 40, of Lithonia (Georgia), went to Natural Nails salon to get a burnt orange color applied to her fingers and toes, along with an eyebrow wax, but when she was done she was overcharged by $5 for being overweight.
I was letting my nails dry and was looking at the pricing list and realized that I had been overcharged," Fonville told ABC News. "I said to the clerk that I thought I had accidently been overcharged, I honestly thought it was an error."
"But when she came over and wrote out the prices she then said, 'I charged you five dollars more because you're overweight,'" said Fonville.

But the owner of the nail salon thought otherwise.
I was letting my nails dry and was looking at the pricing list and realized that I had been overcharged," Fonville told ABC News. "I said to the clerk that I thought I had accidently been overcharged, I honestly thought it was an error."
"But when she came over and wrote out the prices she then said, 'I charged you five dollars more because you're overweight,'" said Fonville.

Makes you wonder, should putting a weight limit or size limit to certain things be a bad idea? Does it qualify for discrimination? Ask the guy/girl who has ever sat in coach next to a really fat person.
Though I do understand, all these fees should have been agreed earlier.

WEIRD: Doctors fighting in delivery room results in mother and baby fighting for their lives!
Updated: 08/29 15:22When 30-year old Laura Salpietro's water broke, she was rushed to the hospital, Polyclinic Hospital in Messina on the Italian island of Sicily, to get her started with her baby's delivery but instead she and he husband, 37-year old Matteo Molonia, were shocked to watch doctors arguing and then eventually punching each other over whether to deliver her first child naturally or by Caesarean.
The argument lead to an hour's delay which resulted in complications as Laura suffered severe blood loss and had to have a hysterectomy, while her new born son Antonio had two cardiac arrests. Both the mother and the baby are in the intensive care department at the hospital under observation with medical staff saying they could not rule out brain damage to the baby as a result of the delay during the birth.
Shocked Mr Molonia said:'I risk losing my family because the medical team decided to start arguing in the delivery room.
'It's incredible I still can't believe two so called professionals would behave in such a way.
''I want to know why my wife and newborn son are now fighting for their lives. All I know is that we arrived at the hospital and Laura was on the bed and ready to give birth.
''The gynaecologist then started arguing with another doctor over whether she should give birth by Caesarean or naturally.
'Then they started fighting and it was unbelievable. I heard later there was bad blood between them already.''
Mr Molonia added that Dr Benedetto had been in favour of the Caesarean while the doctor had not and eventually little Antonio was born using this method.
He went on:''Afterwards I saw Dr Benedetto with his hand covered in blood and one of the nurses said he had punched a window during the row.
'The thing is at first they said everything was fine but it wasn't, none of them had the courage to tell me.
'Now they are fighting for their lives and it's because of these two doctors. I don't understand why she had to have the hysterectomy and because of that we can't have any more children.''

Both the doctors - gynaecologist Vincenzo Benedetto and maternity unit doctor Antonio De Vivo had both been suspended while the matter is being investigated.

ENTERTAINMENT: Liu Wei: Armless man becomes an acclaimed expert pianist
Updated: 08/27 17:00The 23-year-old Liu Wei whose arms were amputated after a childhood accident and plays the piano with his toes, has become an acclaimed expert pianist. He came into limelight earlier this month when he performed on "China's Got Talent," the Chinese version of the TV show "Britain's Got Talent" and "America's Got Talent". The hit Chinese show also features disabled modern dancers and break-dancing migrant workers.
In his first appearance, Liu received a standing ovation from the audience, many of whom were moved to tears, for a performance of "Mariage D'amour" by Richard Clayderman.
Liu, who was 10 when he lost his arms from an electrical shock while playing hide-and-seek, uses his feet to navigate online, eat, dress and brush his teeth.
"I wish I could go out driving to have fun. Apart from that, there is really nothing more I want to do," said Liu, who lives in Beijing. "Music has become a habit for me. It is just like breathing air."
He only began playing the piano in his late teens.
"Nobody ever decreed that to play the piano you must use your hands," he said.
"I have food to eat and clothes to wear and many people caring about me. What is there to be dissatisfied about?" he said. "There are many people without enough to eat. I'm much more fortunate than they are."
Liu's biggest beef is with people who insist on helping him without asking first.
"Here, if someone thinks you need help they will just do it. They assume you must want help," he said. "Foreigners will ask first if you want any help. They will first respect your wishes. In that way, China could make an improvement."
Liu would like to be seen just as a pianist.Source: www.google.com
Liu Wei does show us that no matter what difficulties we have, we can always overcome them with our will and passion.
Great pianist!

WEIRD: Don't make a sex video where you break in - or at least take the camera!
Updated: 08/24 22:34Most of times that thieves break into a house, they want to get out as soon as possible. Not for this couple - who wanted to take their time to have sex in the house and also record themselves while doing it. One problem - someone walked in and they had to run without their camera with the evidence.
A sex video identified the suspects in a break-in at a rural home at Elma.
The Grays Harbor County sheriff's office says a neighbor who had come to collect the mail while the owner was away Monday surprised a man and woman who were having sex on the floor.
Chief Deputy Dave Pimentel says the naked couple fled, leaving behind the camera, which had been stolen elsewhere.
Pimentel said Tuesday that deputies who checked the video recognized the couple from previous contacts.
The 39-year-old woman was arrested in Montesano for investigation of burglary. An arrest warrant was issued for the 31-year-old Elma man.
I have a feeling that the couple was a little deviant and they used to get aroused by having sex in house they broke into!

Updated: 08/24 20:3119-year-old Brennan Eden was driving his Pontiac Firebird at 100 mph in Greene County, Ohio on highway I675, when he hit a culvert and launched the car into the Road overpass. The force of the crash broke the car apart and ejected Eden onto the highway during the morning rush hour.
He remains at Miami Valley Hospital after suffering serious injuries. The incidence was caught on police cruiser camera.
Interestingly, he was released 20 minutes ago by the police as he was arrested at 6:13 a.m. Monday on charges including possession of alcohol, drug paraphernalia and drug abuse after he was found with a 15-year-old girl in the parking lot.
In November 2009, Eden was cited by the Ohio State Highway Patrol for driving 90 mph in an 65 mph zone, according to records filed in the Fairborn Municipal Court.
For young drivers - please be careful while driving - it might look like you can control the car well, but at higher speeds, you are vulnerable!
