Husband Leaves Wife For Sex Doll
01/28/11 -- Wacky News
“Dave Hockey’s wife isn’t as distraught as you might expect at the prospect of him keeping other female company on holiday – because his companion is a plastic doll. The father-of-two has taken ‘Bianca’ on road trips across the US and to Britain, including visits to Oxford and Stonehenge. But the 57-year-old insisted his wife Wendy – a retired doctor – doesn’t mind. ‘She knows I’m not going to run off with a piece of silicone shaped like a woman,’ he said. Weighing 90lb, Bianca has to be moved in a wheelchair. She is one of 14 dolls on whom Mr Hockey has spent $21,000 on travel and outfits, including $1,700 of lingerie.” w/ photos
Blind Orangutans Give Birth To Twins
01/28/11 -- Pretty Cool
“A blind orangutan at a rescue center in western Indonesia has given birth to a healthy pair of twins. Ian Singleton, who works with the Sumatran Orangutan Conservation Program, said Thursday that Gober, the mother, so far appeared able to care for the babies herself. “But vets and staff are ready to step in if necessary,” he said, adding that Leuser, the father, also is blind. There are around 50,000 orangutans left in the wild, 90 percent of them in Indonesia, with more than 2,000 others in rescue centers. Some of those at centers were seized in the illegal wildlife trade and others orphaned when their mothers strayed from rapidly disappearing rain forests in search of food. The twins — a boy named Ganteng and a girl named Ginting — were born last Friday. “It’s hoped that both infants will eventually be released to a life in the wild, something that has been denied both their parents due to their blindness,” Singleton said. The twins’ mother, who has cataracts in both eyes, was captured by vets two years ago in an area surrounded by palm oil plantations. They were worried she’d be killed by villagers for routinely raiding crops and took her to the rescue center.” w/ photos
