How a Sinkhole swallows woman in n back yard
MELBOURNE, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- A woman hanging laundry on a clothesline in a Melbourne, Australia, back yard fell 10 feet into a sinkhole and had to tread water at the bottom, rescuers said. Melissa Beaumont said her mother, Christina Beaumont, 52, was
visiting an elderly friend to help with household chores Tuesday when she fell into the backyard sinkhole. Emergency responders said it was about 20 minutes before a neighbor heard her screams and called for help. Ambulance Victoria paramedic Stephanie Palamberis said Beaumont landed in water. "At one stage her head was under the water," Palamberis told The Age. "The woman told us she couldn't touch the bottom of the hole, so was trying to swim and stay afloat to avoid the risk of further mud collapse." Country Fire Authority operations officer Paul Carrig told news.com.au Beaumont "escaped without injury" but "was obviously shaken up" by her ordeal.

How a Family rescues dog stuck in jug for months?
HOUSTON, Nov. 25 (UPI) -- A Houston-area family rescued a 5-month-old puppy last week, after it spent two months running around the neighborhood with a plastic jug on his head. "Every night I went to bed thinking about that dog and I really felt bad for him
having that on his head," Audra Bohannon, of Northwest Harris County, Texas, told KPRC on Monday. Bohannon said the stray, thought to be a German Shepard mix, probably stuck his head into a plastic pet feeder in her barn. She and her family spent weeks trying to catch him. When they finally did, Bohannon and her family cut the jug open with metal shears. She posted video of his rescue on her Facebook page.

'Fart pill' gives gas 'the scent of chocolate'
GESVRES, France, Nov. 26 (UPI) -- A French inventor says pills he developed to make bodily gases smell like chocolate were inspired by a particularly flatulent meal with friends. Christian Poincheval, 65, of Gesvres, said his Lutin Malin -- or Crafty Imp -- line of pills can make a customer's bodily gases smell like chocolate, roses or violets. Poincheval developed the chocolate scent specially for Christmas. The website selling the products bills the pills as "The Father Christmas fart pill that gives your farts the scent of chocolate." "It's a nice present for the festive season," Poincheval told The Local. "There will be a real need for these pills over Christmas." Poincheval said the invention was inspired by an uncomfortably flatulent dinner with friends about six years ago. "We had just come back from Switzerland and we were eating a lot with our friends and the smell from the flatulence was really terrible. We couldn't breathe so me and a friend decided something had to be done," Poincheval said. The pills are billed as "100 percent natural" and include fennel, seaweed and blueberries among their ingredients.

Teacher Sought Student Silence Over hot relation
NOVEMBER 24--A Texas high school teacher charged with having sex with a female student gave the girl a "written contract" stating that he would give her a grade of at least 85 in his English class if she kept quiet about their relationship and steered clear of his wife, a fellow teacher at a Dallas-area school, police say.
Investigators allege that James Quigley, 34, twice had sex with the girl in her bedroom earlier this year, and sent her a series of inappropriate e-mail and text messages that commented on her looks and noted that they could be “friends with benefits,” according to probable cause affidavit. Quigley, seen at right, was arrested Thursday night on two felony counts, sexual assault and maintaining an improper relationship with a student. He remains locked up in the Dallas County jail in lieu of $100,000 bond. Police began investigating Quigley last week, when the girl’s mother contacted cops to report that the teen was being harassed by the Richardson High School educator. The teen told police that Quigley showed up at her residence earlier this year “with a hotdog for her dog.” When the girl opened the door, the teacher “hugged her and kissed her forehead” and “touched her ‘butt.’” She also recalled Quigley leaving a Starburst candy on her desk along with a note saying, “I would smash you into thin powder, mix you with water and drink it.”
