'Gay dog' banned from Australian restaurant
An Australian restaurant has been ordered to apologise and pay compensation after they barred a blind man because a waiter thought his guide dog was gay.
The waiter thought that she was asking if gay dogs were allowed.
Mr Jolly and Ms Lawrence were denied entry to the restaurant - which displayed a 'guide dogs welcome' sign - even after they showed the staff a guide dog information card.
The restaurant were ordered by the Equal Opportunity Tribunal to pay Mr Jolly AU$1,500 (£903) in compensation.
'The staff genuinely believed that Nudge was an ordinary pet dog which had been de-sexed to become a gay dog,' the restaurant owners said, bafflingly.

'Boobquake' Facebook group set to prove Iranian cleric wrong
Thousands of Facebook 'Boobquake' supporters are set to bare all today in protest after an Iranian cleric bizarrely claimed that women in revealing clothes cause earthquakes.
The Facebook event has over 185,000 participants so far, with an additional group gaining 40,000 followers for the movement.
Launched last week by Indiana student Jennifer McCreight, 22, the 'Boobquake' event is a response to Iranian cleric Hojatoleslam Kazem Sedighi.
He claimed: “Many women who do not dress modestly ... lead young men astray, corrupt their chastity and spread adultery in society, which increases earthquakes,”
Groups in both Washington and Vancouver are planning dedicated Boobquake events, with hundreds of women revealing as much as they dare while seismic readings are taken, in order to prove the cleric wrong.
McCreight has admitted that she is surprised at the amount of support her campaign has gathered: 'It started as a silly joke that I hurriedly fired off since I was about to miss the beginning of House,” McCreight wrote on her blog.
'I never thought it would get the attention it did.'
'I’m a firm believer that when someone says something so stupid and hateful, serious discourse isn’t going to accomplish anything — sometimes light-hearted mockery is worthwhile.'
Followers of the Boobquake movement have been posting photos of their 'assets' to the Facebook page in a show of solidarity. Users can purchase a series of t-shirts to commemorate the day, proceeds of which will be donated to charity.

What a Quack!!!!
Bolivian president Evo Morales blames sex problems on chickens
Morales told an environmental conference on Tuesday that chicken producers inject the birds with female hormones, which he said can lead to baldness and sexual issues in men who eat the chicken.
There's an amount of confusion over exactly what Morales said, depending on which translation you read. The Associated Press reported that he said 'and because of that, men who consume them have problems being men' - suggesting he was talking about chickens causing impotence.
But another news agency, Agence France-Presse, reported his comments as 'when men eat those chickens, they experience deviances in being men.' Which sounds a bit more like he's blaming chickens for men becoming gay.
Either way, Morales' warning may be out of date: Chicken producers in Europe, the United States and many other countries say they abandoned the use of hormones in poultry several decades ago and many if not most Western nations ban them outright.
And in any case, Morales has his biochemistry the wrong way round - on the baldness issue, at least. Male pattern baldness is linked to dihydrotestosterone, a predominantly male hormone, not to female hormones. So you're probably okay to keep eating chickens.

Your know, Some people are seriously dumb!!!!
Promiscuous women cause earthquakes, Iran cleric says
Women who dress provocatively and tempt people into promiscuity are to blame for earthquakes, a leading Iranian hard-line cleric has apparently said.
The prayer leader, Hojatoleslam Kazim Sadeghi, says women and girls who "don't dress appropriately" spread "promiscuity in society."
"When promiscuity spreads, earthquakes increase," he says in a video posted Monday on YouTube, apparently of him leading Friday prayers in Tehran, Iran, last week.
"There is no way other than taking refuge in religion and adapting ourselves to Islamic behavior," he adds in the video.
The video was posted by YouTube user "electionlies," who appears to be anti-regime. The account features wallpaper of a blindfolded woman apparently weeping blood and the slogan, "The green movement is alive."
Green was the color of anti-regime protesters in last year's demonstrations in several cities across Iran. The protesters were marching against the country's election results, which gave President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad a second term in office.
Sadeghi is a senior cleric who was appointed last year by Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei as a substitute Friday prayer leader in Tehran, an extremely influential position.
Khamenei himself is Tehran's official Friday prayer leader.
Iran suffers regular earthquakes, including a devastating one that destroyed the ancient city of Bam in 2003, killing tens of thousands.
Sadeghi is not the only religious leader to have linked earthquakes with human behavior this year.
American televangelist Pat Robertson suggested that January's devastating earthquake in Haiti was because of a pact Haitians made with the devil in order to throw off French rule in the 18th century.
A spokesman for Robertson said he was referring to a widely discussed Haitian legend, but University of Miami researcher Kate Ramsey said the legend was "utterly a fabrication, and it's an extremely offensive one."

'Coco' the inflatable colon erected at entrance to shopping centre
Coco the Colossal Colon is a forty-foot long inflatable replica of the human colon designed to spread awareness about various conditions.There are also viewing portals along the side of the colon so that other less adventurous visitors can watch as people crawl through the colon.
Doctors are on hand to answer any questions visitors may have about diseases and the colon.
“I know we have a higher prevalence of colorectal cancer than other areas for reasons we still don’t understand,” Dr. Santiago Arruffat told the Courier Press.
'We’re trying to reach everybody,' said Stephanie Fifer, of the Ohio Valley Colon & Rectal Surgeons staff.
'It’s not just a disease that older men get, which is what a lot of people assume.'
'Doctors feel that having a diet high in fiber helps because it keeps you more regular,'
'It’s just a good way to promote colorectal cancer awareness,'

Dominatrix 'Mistress Tia' banned from village hall
A dominatrix has been banned from hosting £150-an-hour bondage sessions in a village hall.
Professional sadomasochist Sophie Allen, 27 – stage name Mistress Tia – hired the hall in Waters Upton in Telford, Shropshire, for sessions.
She offers caning, verbal abuse, flogging, waxing, whipping and boot worship to her slaves.
Blogging on her website, she said: ‘Been getting ready for my production shoot tomorrow, can’t wait, got loads of new slaves coming, putting some really great ideas into practice.
‘Hired out the village hall again in Telford which is a really big place with nice wooden floors which really accentuate the sound of my heels.’
She charges £80 for 30 minutes or £150 for an hour, with photos available as mementos for an extra £20.
Darren Morgan, who runs the local butchers, said: ‘I am shocked to hear of such lurid activities.’
Another villager added: ‘As long as they keep away from us, they can do what they like.’
Katrina Baker, chairman of the hall management committee, confirmed the sessions had been banned.
She said it had been booked by a man ‘for auditions’ so the true nature of what was going on did not become clear until managers realised he was Mistress Tia’s business partner.

Help Paula fighting Leukemia and Lymphoma
Yes, we are proud to call her a Brewcrewer!!!!!
Hi Everyone!!
I want to start by thanking everyone for their support over these past 6 months! I can't believe how quickly the time has gone. When I first signed up for Team In Training, I didn't really believe it was possible for me to run a marathon. When it came time to run 10 miles it seemed ridiculous! Running 14 miles on my own in Boston was a milestone and completing an 18 mile run was an incredible accomplishment. Never did I think I would become such a fan of a foam roller, discuss different types of energy products to use on long runs, or have to face an ice bath!
Now I can say with confidence, I am fit enough to complete a MARATHON!! We've begun to taper our runs to let our bodies rest and heal before the big day. Its has been both a mental and physical battle whether finding the motivation to wake up early on Saturday mornings for a run in the snow to gaining the confidence to run 18 miles and survive. Team In Training has been with me through each mile. My coach and team captain encourage and motivate me and help me through the trials and successes of training. Hearing personal accounts from those who have beat cancer (and are still running!) as well as from the friends and family of those who weren't quite as lucky helped to put my efforts in perspective. While the personal challenge of running a marathon is great, it pales in comparison to that of fighting cancer.
Thanks to your contributions we are helping to make a difference in the lives of many who are still fighting Leukemia and Lymphoma!! I've raised $690 towards the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, but I am still short of my goal of $1500! Donations will be accepted until the 16th of April and can be made online (check out the link at the end of the email) or you can mail me a check made out to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society.
Thank you again for your support and the next time you'll be hearing from me is when I have crossed the finish line! If you know of anyone who may be interested in contributing, please forward this message along! :)

Police sniff out alleged panty sniffer
PORT ST. LUCIE, FL-- A Port St. Lucie man is under arrest after a woman complained that he broke into her house and sniffed her underwear.
In a 911 call on March 28 the victim claimed a man with long curly hair was inside her residence and that she thought she recognized him.
According to an incident report, the woman gave this account: She came home and found a short male with long curly hair coming out of her private door (bedroom) of her house.
Asked what he was doing, he replied, "I live here." The man also said he knew the owner of the home.
The woman believed the man slept in her bed and went through her personal belongings. She said when she inspected her closet she found her underwear and her 3 year old daughter's underwear scattered all over the floor.
When the man ran away she called 911.
Police later discovered a roommate of the victim's landlord matched the description of the suspect.
Officers eventually caught up with Demetrio Fermin Tiu Hernandez. They say he was "highly intoxicated" at the time.
Police say the victim identified Hernandez as the person she found inside her home.
According to the report, he told officers that he "didn't remember anything that happened and he was drunk."
Police say there was a broken window leading to the bathroom where the alleged break-in happened. There were also several lace panties littering the room.
They say the 21 year old Hernandez sustained a laceration on his right forearm from when he climbed into the window.
Police have charged him with burglary to an occupied dwelling.
