LATER YE ALL

German man found dead in bed - after 7 years

The decomposed corpse of a German man was found alone in his bed after nearly seven years, police in the western city of Essen said Thursday.

What if he wasn?t alone when they found him? I think that would have been really weird.

The police said in a statement the man was 59 and unemployed at the time of his death. He most likely died of natural causes on November 30, 2000, the date he received a letter from the Welfare Office found in the apartment, police said.

Next to the dead man?s bed police found cigarettes, an open television guide and Deutschemark coins, which came out of circulation after the euro was introduced in 2002.

?No one missed him. No missing person report was ever filed,? the police said.

A clergyman was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen boys, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age.

The group surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked "What are you doing with that dog?"

One of the boys replied, "This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we've decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog."

Of course, the reverend was taken aback. "You boys shouldn't be having a contest telling lies!" he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, "Don't you boys know it's a sin to lie," and ending with, "Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie."

There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he'd gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, "All right, give him the dog."

Two blondes with hammers, Margie and Donna, were doing some carpentry
work on a Habitat for Humanity house. Margie, who was nailing down house
siding, would reach into her nail pouch, pull out a nail, and either toss it
over
her shoulder or nail it in.

Donna, figuring this was worth looking into, asked, "Why are you throwing
those nails away?"

Margie explained, "When I pull a nail out of my pouch, about half of them
have the head on the wrong end and I throw them away."

Donna got completely upset and yelled, "You moron! Those nails aren't
defective! They're for the other side of the house!"

An Amish woman was driving her buggy to town when a

highway patrol officer stopped her.



"I'm not going to cite you," said the officer. "I

just wanted to warn you that the reflector on the

back of your buggy is broken and it could

be dangerous."



"I thank thee," replied the Amish lady. "I shall

have my husband repair it as soon as I return home."



"Also," said the officer, "I noticed one of your

reins to your horse is wrapped around his testicles.

Some people might consider this cruelty to

animals, so you should have your husband check that

too."



"Again, I thank thee. I shall have my husband check

both when I return home."



True to her word, when the Amish lady got home she

told her husband about the broken reflector, and he

said he would install a new one

immediately.



"Also," said the Amish woman, "The policeman said

there was something wrong with the emergency

brake."

May 14, 1939: A 5-Year-Old Becomes Youngest Mother on Record
Tony Long Email 05.14.07 | 2:00 AM

1939: Lina Medina becomes the youngest confirmed mother in recorded medical history, delivering a son at the age of 5.

The Peruvian child delivered a 5-pound, 8-ounce boy via caesarean section; her small pelvis made it impossible for the baby to pass through the birth canal. In a detailed report of the case, Dr. Edmundo Escomel described the girl?s early sexual maturity. Lina had her first menstrual cycle when she was only eight months old; her breasts were almost completely developed by the time she was 4.

Lina?s condition, known as precocious puberty, was an extreme case, so much so that the story was dismissed as a hoax by many. But doctors X-rayed the fetus? skeleton in utero and provided a picture of Lina, taken late in her pregnancy. The photograph, shot in profile, proves not only the pregnancy but shows the extent of her sexual development.

The baby, a boy named Gerardo, was healthy. He grew up normally (his mother?s true identity was revealed to him when he was 10) but died at 40 from a bone-marrow disease.

Paternity remains a mystery. Lina?s father was arrested on suspicion of rape and incest but the charges were later dropped for lack of evidence. Lina, who is still living, has never divulged a name and, indeed, may not know.
