TURTLE LAKE, Wisconsin - Most people may beat themselves verbally after losing all of their money in a gambling casino. However, John Robert Broos took it to the extreme when he roughed himself up in the parking lot, then called police to report that he was robbed. The 57-year-old Minnesota man had the bumps and bruises to prove the alleged attack, however, didn't have the proper vision to see that he was being video-taped the whole time. Broos was arrested and now faces charges of misdemeanor obstruction. Now the real kick in the head is that in addition to the money he lost at the casino,
Broos may have to pay $10,000 in fines and could serve up to nine months in jail.
A family got more than they bargained for when they found pages from a hardcore porn magazine inside a holiday travel brochure. According to Paul Richies, sales and marketing director for Cosmos Travel, "The family sent a letter to our customer services department together with the brochure demanding an explanation.

taged at the printworks.

NEWCASTLE, England - A British woman admitted in court that she bit off more than she could chew, literally, when she aided a friend in a domestic dispute. Denise Carr, 32, leapt to the defense of her friend Shelley Hutchinson when her husband Neil began attacking her. He then began fighting with Carr, and sat on top of her. Carr told the court she defended herself by biting her attacker in the groin, but hadn't realized that in doing so, she bit off his testicle. It was only after the police arrived that the missing testicle was discovered under a picture frame in the sitting room. Carr was originally charged with wounding with intent but that was reduced to affray, which she admitted.
