How a Teen hides in airplane wheel compartment, survives flight
LAGOS - A Nigerian teenager hid in the wheel compartment of an airplane and survived a half hour flight to the commercial hub of Lagos from his home town of Benin, Arik Air said on Sunday. Daniel Ihekina evaded airport security and snuck into the tire section of
the flight just before the wheels went up for takeoff on Saturday, airline spokesman Ola Adebanji said by telephone. Passengers spotted him emerging from the wheel cavity in Benin and alerted the staff. "How he got through security is something for the authorities to investigate," Adebanji said. "He's lucky to have survived it. Not many people can do that and survive." He said that the plane only went up 21,000 feet because it was a short flight, increasing the boy's chances of surviving the thinner, colder air at high altitudes.

In the ad, British TV host Gok Wan says that 85% of women don't know their correct bra size. He is "all about women's assets," he says. Then, amid images of women walking down a catwalk in their underwear, he says: "Your bangers will never feel more loved."
Accused Sex Trafficker Busted In "Pimp" T-Shirt
AUGUST 20--A California man charged with the sex trafficking of a teenage girl was wearing a t-shirt declaring “I make pimpin’ look easy” when he was arrested late last month, records show. Martell Davis, 34, was collared by San Diego Police Department vice cops conducting an “incall” operation at a Best Western hotel, according to federal court filings.
As part of that probe, a detective located an ad on backpage.com “advertising a female for prostitution” and arranged for a July 26 “date” at the hotel. After negotiating an $80 encounter with the undercover cop, the hooker--a 17-year-old girl--was arrested for prostitution. Officers then used the girl’s phone to text a person they believed to be her pimp. Posing as the teen, a cop sought some pricing guidance: “How much for anal?” The suspected pimp replied, “Oh shit make him break the bank babe,” before adding that the girl should charge at least $200.After exchanging a series of texts with the suspected pimp--and arranging for him to pick up the underage prostitute--“Martell Davis arrived at the room where the date was set up with the undercover detective,” according to a U.S. District Court complaint. Arrested for pimping, “Davis was wearing a t-shirt that read ‘I make pimpin’ look easy,’” an investigator noted.
One woman and two husbands in wife-sharing arrangement
NAIROBI, Kenya, Aug. 26 (UPI) -- Two men in Kenya have signed an agreement to marry the same woman, which a lawyer says will be legal if they can prove the practice is part of tribal custom. The agreement includes a schedule for Sylvester Mwendwa and Elijah Kimani to live in her house, and states both will help raise any children. The woman has been having affairs with both men for four years, the British Broadcasting Corp. reported Monday.
A community policing officer said the two men were persuaded to joint-marry the unidentified woman after he saw them fighting over her, the local newspaper Daily Nation reported. Kenyan family lawyer Judy Thongori said the law does not explicitly forbid polyandry, the practice of a woman married to more than one man, asking "whether these people come from communities that have been practicing polyandry."The BBC said polyandry is not practiced by any community in Kenya. Mwendwa acknowledged the arrangement may in in breach of the law, but he had decided to enter into a contract with Kimani and the wife to end the rivalry between the two men.
"Our arrangement is good as it sets boundaries and helps us keep peace," he said.
