TACOMA — The police log entry said it all: “Deceased fawn was dressed up like an infant and abandoned at the Pantages Theater.

Why would anyone dress up a dead newborn deer, lay it in a basket and leave it outside an ornate downtown landmark?

“Your guess is as good as mine,” said Tom Sayre, a spokesman of The Humane Society for Tacoma and Pierce County.

The outfit included an infant sleeper and a bib that read, “You think I’m cute? You should see my aunt,” Sayre added.

An officer found the fawn Tuesday night, said police spokesman Mark Fulghum.

It was unclear how the animal died but the odor indicated it had been dead for awhile, he said.

A Humane Society vet thought it might have been stillborn.

“It’s just bizarre,” Fulghum said.

Quite odd. Does anyone have any idea of what “You think I’m cute? You should see my aunt” means?

A man cut off his own head with a chainsaw after stabbing his 70-year-old father to death in their apartment in the German city of Cologne, police said.

The body of the offender, 24, was found headless when police raced to the apartment after an emergency call, apparently from the dying father, had been broken off in mid-sentence.

Alf Willwacher, a senior prosecutor, said an electric chainsaw was next to the son’s body.

“We do not believe any third party was involved,'’ he said.

Neighbours said the father and son had been reclusive since the death of the mother, allegedly by suicide, several years ago.

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. - A man was held Wednesday on charges that he performed dental work on customers without a license in his “filthy” garage, authorities said. Roger Bean, 60, was arrested Tuesday and held on $6,000 bond.

Bean performed denture fittings and made false teeth in his garage, charging just $200 for a full set of dentures, a procedure that typically costs more than $2,000, authorities said. But he was not licensed to practice in Florida.

Palm Beach County Sheriff’s detective Don Zumpano said there were “health risks with operating this type of facility outside of your house,” adding that Bean’s workspace was “filthy.”

Neighbors and clients, however, praised Bean for saving them thousands of dollars.

Ron St. Mary, 73, head of the neighborhood crime watch, said Bean is no criminal.

“He’s helping the old people who don’t have a few dollars,” he said. “I think the world of him.”

It was not immediately clear if Bean had an attorney.

LONDON (Reuters) - A British dentist was found guilty Thursday of urinating in his surgery sink and using dental tools meant for patients to clean his fingernails and ears.

A medical tribunal said it was satisfied the evidence showed 51-year-old Alan Hutchinson, who “routinely” did not wear gloves or wash his hands, had risked the health of “himself, staff and patients” for more than 28 years.

A dental nurse who worked for Hutchinson for 16 years said she had caught him urinating in the sink more than once.

“He was tucking something into his trousers before zipping them up hastily. I walked over and I was behind him. He moved to the left and I could smell urine,” the nurse told the tribunal.

A later hearing will decide if the dentist’s unhygienic habits impaired his ability to treat patients, and if so, whether he should banned from practicing.

In 1966 18 year old French pop star France Gall sung a song written by her songwriter, Serge Gainsbourg, which contained double-meanings and strong sexual innuendos. Apparently, she was naive to the double meanings of the song and later understood that she had been taken advantage of. Gainsbourg had written numerous hits for her, but once she understood how she had been manipulated by him, his songs were expunged from her repertoire. Regardless, 40 years later, the song is still catchy and the video is oddly amusing.

The translated lyrics:

“Annie likes suckers
The anise flavored suckers
The anise flavored suckers
Of Annie
Give her kisses
A aniseed taste
While the creamy sugar
Flavored with anise
Sinks in Annie’s throat,
She’s in heaven.

For a few pennies, Annie
Has her Anise suckers
They are the color of her big eyes,
The color of happy days

Annie likes suckers
The anise flavored suckers
The anise flavored suckers
Of Annie
Give her kisses
A aniseed taste
When on her tongue,
All but the little stick is done,
She runs as fast as she can
Back to the drugstore.”

I’m not suprised that Cisco and Apple came to an agreement for Apple to use the ‘iPhone’ trademark. I am very suprised at the terms of the settlement, however.

The companies said Apple will be allowed to use the name for its sleek new multimedia device in exchange for exploring wide-ranging “interoperability” between the companies’ products in the areas of security, consumer and business communications.

Huh,? That’s it? So Cisco is giving away this highly coveted trademark for some meetings?

- Think of Cisco as an average girl who desperatly wants to date the cool guy
- Apple is a guy who wants to get laid
- ‘iPhone’ is poontang.

Cisco is willing to give up the poontang right away, but only if Apple promises to take Cisco on a few dates. Apple agrees, they get busy. Apple finishes in two minutes, leaves Cisco unsatisfied and questioning her own sexuality.

Cisco decides the promised dates are no longer necessary, Apple never bothers calling anyway. Apple is an asshole.

A baseball story to celebrate the beginning of Spring Training:

From Wikipedia:

On April 25, 1976, during a game at Dodger Stadium, two protestors, a man and his son, ran into the outfield and tried to set fire to an American flag they had brought with them. Monday, then playing with the Cubs, noticed they were fumbling with matches and lighter fluid; then he dashed over and grabbed the flag out of their hands, to thunderous cheers. He handed the flag to a park guard, after which the ballpark police arrested the two intruders. When he came up to bat in the next half-inning, he got a standing ovation from the crowd and the big message board behind the left-field bleachers in the stadium flashed the message, “Rick Monday–you made a great play!” He later said, “If you’re going to burn the flag, don’t do it around me. I’ve been to too many veterans’ hospitals and seen too many broken bodies of guys who tried to protect it.”

Seventy years ago this month, what is still considered one of the best ghost photographs of all time was taken at Raynham Hall, Norfolk. Ever since, it has been held up as convincing evidence for the existence of spectral forms but, as Alan Murdie discovered, long-forgotten files on the case point to a different conclusion.

The girls were shut away from the outside world, existing in almost complete darkness, playing only with mice and communicating in their own language.
