Some Australians are making odd choices for funeral songs like 'Another One Bites the Dust'
ADELAIDE, Australia (AP) -- Hymns are being replaced at funerals in one Australian city by popular rock classics like Led Zeppelin's "Stairway to Heaven" and AC/DC's "Highway to Hell," a cemetery manager said Wednesday. At Centennial Park, the largest cemetery and crematorium in the southern city of Adelaide, only two hymns still rank among its top 10 most popular funeral songs: "Amazing Grace" and "Abide With Me." Leading the funeral chart is crooner Frank Sinatra's classic hit "My Way," followed by Louis Armstrong's version of "Wonderful World," a statement said. The Led Zeppelin and AC/DC rock anthems rank outside the top 10, but have gained ground in recent years as more Australians give up traditional Christian hymns......http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/s.....amp;TEMPLATE=DEFAULT
I must have some sort of twisted mind because I didn't find that post to be all that peculiar. I would much prefer Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon to Amazing Grace when I die.
Man accused of taking socks again BELLEVILLE, Ill. — James Dowdy has gone to prison three times, and may go there again, for the same crime: burglarizing homes and stealing women’s socks. Dowdy had been free on bond in one alleged sock caper when police say he was caught with socks that had been taken from someone’s laundry room Monday morning in Belleville, a St. Louis suburb. The 36-year-old remained jailed Wednesday on a felony burglary count filed the previous day. Dowdy’s mother, Linda, said he needs to be institutionalized to get psychiatric treatment for the fixation she says has tormented him most of his life. She thinks the fetish took hold when he clung to some of her socks as keepsakes when he was forced to live for a year with his dad as a child.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- A 19-year-old man must make an apology to the city of Saratoga Springs for dressing as an inflatable 6-foot penis and then parading across SPAC's stage at the high school's graduation last month.
Calvin Morett of 337 Pyramid Pine Estates must also pay to have the letter published in the Saratogian newspaper as part of a City Court sentence that calls for him to pay $95 in court fees and perform 24 hours of community service. Morett had previously pleaded guilty to disorderly conduct, a violation.
The sentence draws the curtain on Morett's case. His appearance at the June 26 graduation at Saratoga Performing Arts Center caused, a stir and a video of the incident later appeared on YouTube.
Morett purchased the full-body costume and sprayed some of the 5,000 people in the crowd with Silly String, police said.
Morett graduated from Saratoga Springs High School last year.
Groom violates protection order in remarrying wife
BATAVIA — An upstate New York man landed in a heap of trouble on his wedding day: A court order had barred him from going near the bride. Timothy Cole got into a quarrel with a wedding guest over a chair during a late-night party at his house just hours after he remarried his former wife on Friday afternoon, authorities said. Officers alerted to the dispute knew the 45-year-old Cole from previous arrests and realized the bride had an order of protection against him. Cole was charged with first-degree criminal contempt, a felony, and was ordered jailed without bail. He’s scheduled to appear in court today. Cole has previously violated orders of protection obtained by the woman and was convicted of criminal contempt most recently on July 1, the Daily News of Batavia reported.
And what the hell is wrong with her???? ......a dog always returns to it's vomit.....both of them either are eternally made for eachother or they need a new circle of friends.....
...you are a product of your environment, your environment is a product of your priorities, your priorities are a product of you......
The replacement of morality and conscience with law produces a deadly paradox.

A newborn baby abandoned outdoors in winter by her 14-year-old mother was found safe in a dog pen with a mother dog and her brood of puppies near the city of La Plata, Argentine media reported on Friday.
Farmer Fabio Anze found the naked baby girl on Thursday, being kept warm among his dog China's puppies, La Nacion newspaper said. Anze called the police and the baby was taken to a hospital.
Egidio Melia, director of the Melchor Romero hospital, told television and newspaper reporters that the baby was just a few hours old when she was found, and was in good health although she had some bruises.
Nighttime temperatures are chilly but not freezing in the Southern Hemisphere winter in the rural area around La Plata, 40 miles (60 km) south of Buenos Aires.
Police said they had located the 14-year-old girl who gave birth to the baby outdoors during the night.
It was not clear whether the mother left her baby in the dog's pen or whether the dog found the baby outdoors and carried it in to join her puppies.
