Singapore Flushes Five Illegals From Bus Toilet SINGAPORE (Reuters) - Singapore immigration officers thought they had seen it all until they found five men being smuggled into neighboring Malaysia in a cramped bus toilet. At first glance, the pink tourist bus looked empty as it pulled up to the border post at dawn Wednesday. But four Bangladeshis and one Malaysian were huddled inside the locked restaurant -- all without identity papers or luggage.
``If we're talking about illegal immigrants hiding in bus toilets, this is the first case that we have,'' an immigration spokesman told Reuters Thursday. ``Normally, they will be hiding in vehicles, in the car boot or in compartments that are specially built.'' The five were trying to sneak out of Singapore because they had entered illegally or overstayed their visas, he added.
Each man had paid $130 to a syndicate for the unscheduled trip, with the Malaysian driver and his assistant each promised 300 ringgit. All seven were arrested. Singapore allows in thousands of foreign workers -- mostly from Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia and the Philippines -- to do tasks such as construction, landscaping and child-minding. But the rich city state is also a magnet for illegal immigrants and overstayers. About 14,275 were nabbed in the first 10 months of this year.Immigration officers arrested four people two weeks ago for trying to leave Singapore illegally in the boot of a car.

Vicar Apologizes for Santa Claus Gaffe LONDON (Reuters) - British vicar Clive Evans has apologized for telling more than 200 schoolchildren that Father Christmas does not exist. Parents were angry that the churchman had ruined the magic of Christmas for their children, aged between 7 and 11, newspapers reported Friday.
During a festive message at Long Buckby school in Northamptonshire, central England, Evans asked the
children if they believed in Father Christmas and then warned them to put their hands over their ears if they didn't want to hear what he was going to say. He then whispered the terrible news to the shocked pupils: ''There is no Father Christmas.''
His eight-year-old son Simon was among the children. ``I am very sorry if any child is upset,'' Evans told Britain's top-selling Sun tabloid.
``But I find it hard to believe that what I said really came as news to anyone at the school.''
The school's headteacher sent out a letter of apology. Soldier AWOL in Teenage Girl's Closet COLUMBUS, Ohio (Reuters) - A 15-year-old girl hid an AWOL soldier in her closet for 3 weeks in an Internet-born romance kept secret from her mother with whom she lived, the Columbus Dispatch reported Saturday.
Authorities in Mount Vernon, Ohio, said Army Pvt. Jeffrey Martin, 26, was apprehended on Dec. 9 after the mother finally discovered the live-in arrangement. Martin, who had been stationed at Fort Knox, Kentucky, was being held in the Knox County Jail in Mount Vernon awaiting trial on charges of illegal use of a minor and corruption of a minor.
Knox County Prosecutor John Baker said a search of the cramped closet revealed a neatly-kept bed, a cache of canned food and a Bible. The soldier had the run of the apartment after the mother left for work early each day, he said. Martin had settled in to such an extent that he obtained a library card and taken out books from the public
library in Mount Vernon, a community 35 miles northeast of Columbus, Baker said. Housekeeping?!?! Today has been rape and pillage the house day. The house was quite foul with everoyne's schedules been busy, so we haven't really had a chance to clean up much. Today was that day for me a Krazy. The house is immaculate. Hopefully, it can stay like that for Christmas and through the holidays. Hell, what am I saying?!?! It WILL stay clean, or heads WILL in fact roll. :) Been one busy mo fo Sorry for the lack of updates, life has just been a little hectic, not necessarily in a bad way either. Let's see where to start... OK the other day Canaca fucked up again with the subdomains (moving shit without my permmission), paying bolls, enjoying no school, and catching up on a lot of things which i have been meaning to do. I finally got to go back to the cemetary (which I hadn't gotten to do since All Saints Day, to visit Mom. I brought her some white roses which go nicely with the christmas bouquet thingy that Dad and sis brought her. I also went with some one that many of you may have not heard of in quite a while- Cathy. For those of you that don't know Cathy, she is my ex from a few years back that I have still kept in touch with over the years and she wanted to go visit my mom. Then there is always the workout schedule which I have been busy with maintaining, laong with working on Wednesday to cover for Charles. WEdnesday work was horrid. For those of you that are form out of state or are out of state, in Shreveport there was some FOUL ice storms on Tuesday nite, which knocked power out from the shreveport area all the way to Longview TX. That is a distance of about an hour to two hours of driving, so probably close to 200 miles. So, when I went in to work there was a crapload of outages. Unpretty network to deal with. Enough said with that, everything else has just been basic day to day busyness. |

sorry subdomainers I am sorry for the oputage on my subdomains, yet again, Canaca.com has fucked up. I am getting so tired of the continued outages with these people ever since they put my shit up on the new server, it has been innacurate and unreliable as hell. They are bout to lose us.. So in the next few weeks, if you see us down, it may just be that we are moving on out. |

Satellite odds of hitting someone 250-1: NASA By Jim Wolf
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. space scientists put the odds at nearly 1 in 250 that debris from the proposed burn-up of the world's first global satellite telephone mesh would hit someone on Earth.
The prospects of a casualty from the now-averted mass "de-orbiting" of the system known as Iridium were spelled out in a previously secret study by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
The analysis was done in April as a government task force weighed fears that a hurry-up, 14-month schedule for bringing back cast-off hardware might trigger "widespread anxiety."
"With the information currently available, the probability of someone being struck by surviving Iridium debris is assessed to be 1 in 18,405 per re-entry and 1 in 249 for all 74 spacecraft combined," NASA calculated.
The study was made available to Reuters by the Federal Communications Commission under the Freedom of Information Act. It found four types of Iridium components were likely to survive a flaming re-entry into the atmosphere -- 10-kg titanium fuel tanks, 30-kg batteries, 6.3-kg structural brackets and 116-kg electronic control panels.
Last week, the Pentagon, citing its own needs, stepped in to rescue the necklace of 66 cross-linked, low Earth orbiting satellites plus its spares from the ashes of bankruptcy court.
Motorola Corp., which built, bankrolled and operated the $5.5 billion system, had said it would begin nudging the 560-kg satellites into decaying orbits this month in the absence of a buyer.
In staving off a fiery end for now, the Pentagon signed a $3-million-a-month deal for unlimited air time for up to 20,000 U.S. government users of wireless satellite telephones, including military forces worldwide.
The deal could be worth as much as $252 million if the Defence Department picks up options for service through 2007. It was a condition for court approval of the purchase of Iridium, for $25 million, by an investors group led by Dan Colussy, president of Pan American World Airways from 1978 to 1980.
The Pentagon already owned about 1,600 Iridium satellite phones. The State Department has another 2,000. They have been used by Navy ships at sea, polar teams, special operations forces and combat search-and-rescue missions in areas without U.S. military satellite coverage or when military channels are full.
Iridium "will provide a commercial alternative to our purely military systems," said Dave Oliver, principal deputy under secretary of defence for acquisitions, technology and logistics. The Navy, for example, needed more than twice as much such point-to-point secure communications capability as was available, the Pentagon said.
But a Defence Department briefing paper prepared last month also cited a "strong government desire to avoid having more than 70 satellites de-orbit within 14 months," as had been planned by Motorola.
A U.S. interagency group led by the Justice Department feared that this "might create widespread anxiety and lead to a public outcry for ill-considered government action," the Pentagon paper said.
In its study, NASA said a total mass equal to 300 Iridiums, or more than 168,000 kilos, fell to Earth last year alone in "natural," or untargeted, re-entries from decaying orbits.
Since the Soviets launched the basketball-sized Sputnik I on Oct. 4, 1957, no one has ever been reported hurt by falling debris, though there have been 4,100 natural re-entries, said Nicholas Johnson, NASA program manager for orbital debris and author of the report.
The bottom line, he added in an interview, is that the Iridium satellites would plunge back to Earth if not now, then in about 108 years given their current orbits.
The risk to life and limb, while statistically small, would increase "somewhat" due to projected world population growth in the next 100 years, Johnson concluded.
EMPLOYERS LOOKING MORE CLOSELY AT INTRA-OFFICE E-MAIL There is a joke among computer salesman: If you're trying to clinch a sale to management remind them that the computer you want to sell them will let them monitor their employees' e-mail traffic but not allow the "help" to see what they are doing. More and more companies are not only cracking down on unauthorized computer use -- such as browsing the Web and looking at pornos -- they are taking employees to task for the tone of their e-mail. The Guardian newspaper reports that six London-based employees of an international phone company were fired for using office email to send sexually suggestive letters to other staffers. In Other News I started my shake diet this week. It is Slim fast shakes, so now i can explain my diet like Tommy Lasorda, a shake for breakfast, a hake for luch, and a sensible dinner. IT works for me!!! :) Brakes I have to get new brakes for my car this week. When I go to stop, it occasionally is grinding. I am not looking forward to the expense (probably close to 200 bucks to get that done. Security Meeting Well I went to the security meeting for work today. The meeting was pretty much typical of what I expected. "Don't handout your password" and "Don't make it an obvious password" some recommendations of passwords that i thought clever were ujusts and the way to rememner this one is just between us. as well as some other passwords that looked much like personalized lisence plates. |

Handcuff Present for Not So Jolly Father LONDON (Reuters) - Squeals of delight quickly turned to screams of horror when children saw police
dragging a Father Christmas away in handcuffs in an English seaside town. Police in Great Yarmouth said the Father Christmas was in fact a street trader who got involved in a brawl with a member of the public who objected to him selling one pound ($1.45) presents from a sack.
``It was extremely upsetting for the young children to see Santa being nicked and handcuffed,'' police sergeant Steve Parsons was quoted as saying by the Daily Telegraph Friday. ``A lot of them thought he was going to be put in jail by the police so he would not be around to bring them presents on Christmas Day. We handcuffed the Santa because he was being quite aggressive and he had to be controlled. He was certainly not being very jolly.'' The man was later released after being cautioned for a public order offence.
Judge Orders Playboy Santa Put Under RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - A Brazilian court took aim at the latest version of Playboy magazine, which features a very jolly Santa Claus embracing a partially nude famous dancer, ordering officials to confiscate any newsstand issues that are not under wraps.``Our laws require pornographic magazines be sold in opaque packaging out of site of minors,'' Rio de Janeiro Judge Siro Darlan told Reuters. ``Playboy has not been complying so officials have been directed to confiscate the offending issues.''
Darlan, who handles cases involving minors, initiated the action himself after becoming aware of the magazine cover. He issued an earlier order directing officials to strictly enforce the law on packaging for pornography. Brazil's newspaper stands, which dot street corners in the country's main cities, have long showcased clear-wrapped Playboys and other erotic magazines for passersby to ogle.
But Playboy's latest Brazil issue sparked an unusual controversy because of its use of Santa Claus. The magazine shows Father Christmas hugging dancer and TV hostess Carla Perez, who appears topless but covering her breasts with her hands.

Walruses Need Cash for Tusk Treatment MOSCOW (Reuters) - The walruses in the Moscow Zoo need urgent treatment for their deteriorating tusks, but the impoverished institution is struggling to find the cash to pay a British dentist to come to their aid.
In the wild, walruses keep their tusks and gums healthy by hauling their vast bodies onto outcrops, prying mollusks off rocks and, for the males, fighting over females.
But the 10 walruses in the zoo, who were found orphaned on Russia's Pacific coast, have succumbed to the soft life, with a potentially life-threatening effect on their tusks.
With fish aplenty in the keepers' buckets, they do little more with their tusks than bang them on the edge of their pool and the metal bars of their enclosure.
``We have 10 walrus and all of them have infections -- infections that could lead to sepsis and thus possibly a sudden and immediate death,'' zoo spokeswoman Natalya Istratova told Reuters Television.
She said the zoo already had offers from airlines to fly a dental team to Moscow for free and from British dentist Peter Kertesz to perform the operations for about $15,000.
``We hope that some people will help us to raise this money. Actually the team has some money already but it is not enough. It is only enough to treat two animals,'' Istratova said.
``We are hoping that the team will come on 7th April and I think we will have all the money by that time.''
Kertesz, who has already treated snow leopards and tigers at the zoo, would pare away the tusks gradually without cutting into the mouths of the walruses, ridding them of infection and allowing them to move without pain.

This guys page is hilarious read some of his stories and enjoy.. laughed my ass off... Rio De Janeiro Puts Plump Carnival King on Diet RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Rio de Janeiro is putting its famously fat King Momo, who reigns over the city's unbridled carnival festivities, on a diet.
Faced with growing protests from doctors and following the recent early deaths of two of Brazil's former King Momos, Rio opted for a ``politically correct carnival,'' officials at a ''weighing-in'' contest said on Saturday.
After 12 corpulent candidates stepped up to the scales to compete for the title of King Momo at next February's carnival, the city treated them to a feast of salad and diet sodas instead of the traditional all-you-can-eat pasta extravaganza.
``We don't want to encourage people to get fatter,'' said Luiz Moraes, the contest coordinator. ``The idea of King Momo and of carnival is to be jovial, energetic and have samba in the blood -- so if they weigh a little less, that's OK.''
But officials had not eliminated the 240-pound (110-kg) minimum weight in festivities renowned for their excesses. One of the candidates who mustered only 235 pounds (108 kg) was eliminated. ''Don't they know King Momo can't live on just salad?'' complained Marcus Vinicius de Souza, a 405-pound competitor as he munched on a piece of honeydew melon. ``The king is fat and happy -- and a big eater.''
Judges will crown the new King Momo next Friday. They will award the winner $3,800 and in February, Rio's mayor will hand him the keys of the city, kicking off five days of wild pre-Lenten parties and all-night parades.
Not everybody was complaining about the slimmer festivities on Saturday.
``You shouldn't feel like you have to risk your life to be King Momo,'' said Rio's four-year King Momo titleholder, 28-year-old architect Alex de Oliveira.
Last year, Oliveira put himself on a diet and shed about 120 pounds (55 kg) after undergoing stomach surgery to cut hunger pangs. But he still weighed in at a relatively hefty 330 pounds (150 kg) on Saturday.
King Momo is named after the Greek god of satire and laughter.
Couple Hoping for Sons Have 25 Children ANKARA (Reuters) - A Turkish couple was so determined to have more sons that they ended up with 25 children -- only four of whom were boys, Turkish media reported on Tuesday.
The Turkish Daily News said Nihat Kurt, a 50-year-old unemployed construction worker in Duzkoy in the Black Sea province of Trabzon, had married his wife at the age of 15.
``We had our daughters but still wanted to have a son, so we continued having children,'' Kurt was quoted as saying. ``Finally our 11th child was a boy. We have 25 children, the eldest is 33 and the youngest is four.''
Four of the 21 daughters are married, and Kurt and his wife have 10 grandchildren.
No wonder there a damned food shortage, people two words: birth control!!

Letter Carrier Suspended After Kicking Dog WINNIPEG (Reuters) - A Canadian letter carrier faces suspension after he kicked an aggressive poodle while trying to deliver mail to the dog owner's house.
Paul Schellenberg, who has delivered mail for 24 years in Winnipeg, has been taken off his regular route and faces a ten-day suspension for kicking the dog.
Canada Post officials said the incident, which took place about two weeks ago, confirmed on Thursday there had been a complaint by a home-owner against him for using excessive force against the small dog.
The letter carrier's union plans to file a grievance against Canada Post on the basis that the discipline was unjust.
``We were shocked, really. We've never had a letter carrier suspended for this in the past,'' Bob Tyre, a union officer told Reuters on Thursday.
``Apparently the customer is saying that the dog had a lesion on his lip and I guess the contact with Paul's foot cut that lesion open, and I guess there was a lot of blood,'' said Tyre.
Schellenberg was quoted by local newspapers as saying he did not kick the dog hard.
``I took a step toward it and I kicked it so it would get out of my way,'' he said. ``It wasn't a poodle-punt or anything like that. It was more like a brushing off.''
Schellenberg was unhurt. He said the dog's owner witnessed the attack but did not call the dog off.
Union officials said the public should realize the perils posed by nasty dogs.
``People may focus on (the fact) it was just a poodle-sized dog...but it's the puncture that's the key,'' said Tyre. ''Smaller animals are generally much quicker. They go for the ankles where you can't reach and they have much sharper teeth.''
Party at the Haven Friday night This past Friday, there was a shitload of people at the house, none being even expected. It was still a good evening though got to see lots of people that I don't get to see very often (Jesus, Packrat, Rebecca, Allison (not SG's sis), and a few others). Exam time is here This week is exam week for UNO. MY exam schedule is as follows: Monday December 3, Entreprenuership and Accounting, Friday December 7 Western Civilization, Saturday December 8 Louisiana History.
I hate exams. Quiet Night last night Last night, the Haven was a place of slow traffic (not a bad thing). For starters, when I got home, I did the dishes and Pat came over. We reminisced about band trips and old times. Then Lil Wood came over. We played the new Elf Bowling game and madea quick webpage for him. The address for it is www.picklescoop.com/lilwood. Krazy then went and picked up some Eggnog Daquiris and we all drank them around the fire joking and talking. I then went to bed. End of Story. |

Women Want Fling at Office Christmas Party MUNICH, Germany (Reuters) - 'Tis the season to be jolly, the song goes...but a survey published on Wednesday showed some German women are hoping for more than just a kiss under the mistletoe at the office party this Christmas.
The Berlin-based polling institute Forsa said a survey showed seven percent of women claimed they regularly used office get-togethers as a chance to be unfaithful to their partner.
Only one percent of men, on the other hand, owned up to playing away from home at company gatherings, Forsa said.
How comeI don't get invited to THESE christmas parties?!?!?! hehehe

The 5.0's finally caught up with ODB PHILADELPHIA (Reuters) - Rapper Ol' Dirty Bastard, who vowed to live on ``birdseeds'' while eluding police in New York and Los Angeles, landed back in custody while trying to place an order at a McDonald's restaurant, police said on Tuesday.
The 31-year-old fugitive, whose real name is Russell Jones, escaped Oct. 17 from a Pasadena, California, drug-rehabilitation center where he was undergoing treatment after violating probation. His probation stemmed from 1999 charges of making ``terroristic'' threats and wearing a bulletproof vest.
A Los Angeles judge issued a bench warrant for his arrest soon after his disappearance. Jones, who has been arrested nine times in the past 13 months, is also wanted in New York City where he faces various drug and motor vehicle charges.
Ol' Dirty Bastard, formerly known as Big Baby Jesus, stunned hundreds of fans last week by showing up for a concert with his band Wu-Tang Clan at New York's Hammerstein Ballroom.
``I can't stay on stage too long tonight -- the cops is after me,'' he told the crowd, saying he planned to become ``like a bird'' living off ``birdseeds or whatever ... you'll see.''
His career as a fugitive came to an end late on Monday in a McDonald's drive-through lane in Philadelphia, where a policewoman happened to spot him in a 1991 Mitsubishi Galant with New Jersey license plates.
``She knew him from listening to his music, and knew he was wanted by police,'' Sgt. Mel Williams told the Philadelphia Daily News. ``She stopped him and found out it was him.''
Police said Jones did not try to flee arresting officer Rebecca Anderson. He was due to appear at an extradition hearing on Tuesday.
Cocaine Stash Hidden in Dog Food Cans BOGOTA (Reuters) - Customs officials at Bogota's international airport arrested a German tourist as he tried to board a flight to Brussels with a stash of cocaine hidden in five cans of dog food, authorities said on Tuesday.
Uwe Randhahn, 41, gave ``nervous and inconsistent'' answers when asked why he needed the dog food on the pet-free British Airways flight on Monday, arousing suspicion, the state security police said in a statement.
Authorities opened the cans and discovered five pounds (2.3 kg) of cocaine and immediately arrested Randhahn.
Authorities in Colombia, by far the world's largest supplier of cocaine with an estimated production of 520 metric tons last year, have discovered ever-more bizarre ways of smuggling the drug to U.S. and European markets in recent months.
In September, police found a 100-foot (30-meter) half-built submarine, designed to haul illegal narcotics, stranded in an Andean workshop hundreds of miles (kms) from the ocean.
WTF!?!?! give puppy some good Shit for supper... :) Picklescoop vs. Campus cops Today I had a little war with the campus police.. After cl;ass, Everyone stayed at school and had a few brews... Well someone called the UNOPD in because of our noise. They came and asked for everyone's ID, which just about everyone was of age, except P and Jaime. The tool like rentacop wannabees tried to take them away to the campus police center and question them, but were completely unsuccessful. They let them go and basically told them don't do it again. But the best part is, I'm now gonna be in Driftwood under the lights and Sirens as a police report. GOAL!!!!! |

Picklescoop.com Drunken bowl Hell, I figure if Tostitos and everyone gets their own college bowl game, picklescoop.com is worthy of one too. So without furtheradieu, I present the PICKLESCOOP.COM DRUNKEN BOWL!!
Basically, the way it will work is both teams will proceed to drink heavily through the game, including the referee. Penalties will be normal, however, instead of yardage, quantities of alcohol will be consumed for seriousness of the offense. Should be a wild game, and definitely will be recorded. If interested in playing on either team, please contact me via e-mail. Xmas Exe at the Haven My family is coming to the Haven for Xmas eve. Should be loads of fun watching everyone's shock factor about the house and our complete style... :) Oh Christmas Tree For those that don't know, I set up my XMAS tree last nite.. I bought it at Walmart for 12 bucks (artificial tree). I decorated it with 3 sets of lights and a box of mardi gras colored ornaments. The angel on the top is an empty Dixie can. IT looks awesome.. Pictures will develop as soon as I get one of the digital cameras over here.

Today Ain't a good Day Let's do a quick recap of everything that happened today. Upon waking up at 6:00 (alarm clock didn't go off correctly, it was set to music instead of alarm) I hurry up out of the house. I am pulling out of my driveway looking both ways and thru mirrors to ensure not gonna hit anything. All looked good. Then as i get out in the street I hear and feel thump!! I look in my mirror one more time, and I'll be a sonovabitch!!! Someone was parked behind me. So, I leave a note for them to call me and we can make arrangements for them to get their car repaired from the dented quarterpanel. Anyways, get to work and the garage door is closed (as per usual). I honk the horn for 10 fucking minutes and the door doesn't get opened. Then I go push the button by the door, which takes 10 more minutes to wake up the guard. Then she takes another 5 minutes to push the damned button to open the door. So all in all, a job that should ahve taken 3 seconds took almost half an hour... GRR...... some people need to die... SOON.... I can' just sense something else shitty is gonna happen to me today. Knowing my luck, my relief (Chadd) will still be injured and nobody will be intown or willing to come in to cover his shift and I will get stuck working 24 straight hours and go directly to school on no sleep. Them I will have to come right back to work for my usual Monday night shift working 16 hours (instead of 12, siince Chadd may be out then too)... One word can summarize how I feel right now: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! They're coming to take me away haha Sometime last week, I said I was going to clear my mind and get my thoughts straight for finals. Well, due to circumstances, I got completely booked up and didn't get to. So, without further adieu, I shall got slightly mad on Tuesday. Should be a pretty scene, at least for me. I will come out twitching for a few hours, but afterwards, I should be all good. Drunken fun with Hunter: Part 3 Last night, I went with Hunter and got drunk again. Good fun. As always, it wasa blast hanging with Hunter and Carly. We went to meet his Dad at Columns Hotel on St. Charles and had a few brews there. After that, we actually went to the quarter. WE went to O'Flaherty's and got pissed. I had 2 woodchucks and an Ace in the Hole. To end the night, I had a Danny and Clyde's French Fry po-boy with cheese and chili. Good stuff.. |

(Reuters) - A delicacy unlikely to grace Thanksgiving tables -- turkey testicles -- were gobbled up by the dozen at an Illinois tavern on Wednesday as part of the pub's pre-holiday tradition.Patrons of the Parkside Pub in Huntley feasted on more than 800 pounds of the nuggets that had been deep fried in a secret batter created by proprietor Mark McDonald, who began serving testicles the day before Thanksgiving nearly two decades ago.``They taste something like a mushroom,'' bartender Martha Kagel said amid the noontime hubbub. ``I've had a couple already. They're good.''Hoping to satisfy an expected crowd of 3,000, McDonald purchased more around 30,000 of the high-fat testicles from an Iowa turkey farm, which normally removes them from inside the birds for export. Dad in the Hospital Yes you read it correctly, Dad went in the hospital yesterday. As far as I know, it is nothing extremely serious, but he was having bad stomach cramps and they are running tests to see what is wrong. Will keep ya'll posted. Happy Turkey Day I would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone a happy Thanksgiving. Eat lots of turkey and burp and poop.

A local child protection agency discovered Mike Traut's penchant for the sport after his father advertised for sponsors to back a jump that could have launched the boy into the record books, French daily Liberation said on Friday. Traut, from Grenoble at the foot of the French Alps, followed his father and 13-year-old brother into the sport,and had already completed some 30 jumps before his family received a warning letter from authorities earlier this month. Their letter addressed to ``bird man'' -- the nickname given to the boy's father, who holds a world record in the sport -- warned that he faced a hefty fine and two years in prison if he allowed children under 16 to compete in such dangerous sports Some new fresh links While surfing today, I ran into several sweet links they are as follows: pickle.com mrpickle.com wwfhardys.com The last one is the Hardy Boyz' website.
