"Woman finds tooth in candy bar"

(UPI) -- A Texas woman said she bit into a Milky Way candy bar
and found a tooth with a silver filling in the candy.

Sue Calhoun of Brownsboro said she brought the candy bar and a Coca-Cola along for the ride to Dallas with her husband to pick up a new tractor on New Year's Day and she noticed something strange about the chocolate bar, KLTV, Tyler, Texas, reported Monday.

"I took one bite and it was fine, so I took another bite and bit down on something and thought, 'Well, it may be a peanut,'" Calhoun said.

"I thought, 'Well, Milky bars don't have peanut or any kind of nuts in it," she said. "I looked at it and I thought, 'Oh, gosh! Gross! How terrible! (It's a) tooth!'"

Calhoun said she called Mars Candy, manufacturers Milky Way, about the find.

"She (a Mars representative) said, 'I'm going to send you a package to send the tooth and the candy back in.' But, I'm not real sure I'm going to send it back to them or not because they could keep the evidence and I'm not sure if I would ever see it again," she said.

Calhoun said she is planning to have her local dentist examine the tooth.

"Poop allegedly rubbed in dog owner's hair"

(UPI) -- Danish police say a man may face charges after allegedly rubbing dog droppings into the hair of a canine owner who neglected to clean up after her pet.

The 41-year-old Silkeborg woman said she was walking home with her dog and a load of groceries when a 68-year-old man angrily confronted her for letting her dog do its business in his garden, The Copenhagen Post reported.

The woman said she offered to run home to get a bag and clean up the mess but the man would not listen.

"He was really aggressive. He grabbed the woman by the hair, held on tight to her and rubbed the dog poop all over her head," a witness said.

Police officer Jens Claumarch said the man could be charged with violence or violations of public order laws.

"Students demand beer pipeline"

(UPI) -- Students from Sweden's Chalmers University marched on a Falkenberg brewery to protest the decades-long lack of progress on a beer pipeline to the student union.

The students said Tuesday's occupation of the Carlsberg Brewery was part of an only partially-serious tradition stretching back to 1959, when the student union purchased a single share in the company that owned the brewery until 2000, The Local reported Wednesday.

The students pushed for a 62-mile long beer pipeline to provide the beverage to the union headquarters, but construction halted in 1968, after only 6 1/2 feet of the pipe was put in place.

Workers at the brewery welcomed Tuesday's march, which included several members of student performing arts groups. Officials agreed to meet with the students and the occupation ended with an announcement from Carlsberg spokesman Goran Orre.

"We've listened and accepted their demand. We'll soon start construction on one meter (3.2 feet) of pipeline," he said.

Essex police said they visited the Southend, England, home of Rebecca Davey, 18, after online friends reported her for the photo of her 6-month-old son Ollie, the Daily Mail reported.

Police said they found "no immediate concerns" for the infant's welfare. They said the home was also visited by investigators from social services.

The photo has been removed from Davey's Facebook site.

"Convicted murderer raps in court"

(UPI) -- A man who pleaded guilty to two murders in Florida performed a self-written rap song in court before he was sentenced to life in prison.

Cordaro Hardin, 21, who was convicted Thursday of the shooting deaths of David Heath and Jeff Shultz in St. Petersburg in January 2007, performed a song entitled "Where Do I Go From Here?" in Pinellas-Pasco Circuit Judge Nancy Moate Ley's courtroom before the jury handed down the prison sentence, sparing him the death penalty, the St. Petersburg (Fla.) Times reported.

"God, I need a little assistance, will you be with me? By my side when I leave here, where do I go from here?" Hardin sang before receiving two life sentences.

Heath's mother, June Bartke, left the room during the song and later said she found the performance inappropriate.

"Woman leaves cats a home, trust fund"

(UPI) -- A 77-year-old woman in Auburndale, Mass., left her cats a $300,000 trust fund and a home to live in due to concerns for the felines' welfare, an attorney says.

Attorney George Kickham, who was responsible for ensuring Muriel Bayne's four cats stayed at home, said he attempted to talk Bayne out of creating such a large financial trust for her pets before her death, The Boston Globe said Sunday.

"It is kind of bizarre, quite frankly,'' Kickham said. "We tried to talk this woman out of it.''

The last of the four cats died in 2008 and the two-bedroom home occupied by the felines for seven years was eventually sold to a medical student.

While Kickham questioned Bayne's estate bestowal decision, Massachusetts Humane Society President Joanne G. Mainiero applauded the late senior's dedication to her pets.

"The cats were at least taken care of without being euthanized or dumped somewhere,'' Mainiero told the Globe. "It's great they could enjoy the rest of their lives.''

"Mrs Robinson inspires internet chart push"

"Mrs Robinson inspires internet chart push"

(Reuters) - The extramarital affair conducted by Iris Robinson, the wife of Northern Ireland's First Minister, has inspired an internet campaign to push "Mrs Robinson," the song from the film "The Graduate," to the top of the British pop charts.
The drive began after Robinson, 60, said last week she tried to kill herself last year following an affair with a then 19-year-old man that resembles the plot of Mike Nichols' Oscar-winning film.

A university graduate played by a young Dustin Hoffman was seduced by the older Anne Bancroft in the 1967 movie which helped the Simon and Garfunkel song to number one in the United States pop charts a year later.

"Lets get the iconic song Mrs Robinson - made famous by the 1960's hit The Graduate - to number 1 in next Sunday's chart in honor of Northern Ireland's disgraced first lady," the campaign page, hatched on the Facebook website, said.

Participants have to download the song from the internet. A similar drive on Facebook, the world's No.1 internet social network, put US rap-metal band Rage Against The Machine on top of the Christmas chart but the 10,000 people backing "Mrs Robinson" falls someway short of the near one-million who supported that push.

Peter Robinson temporarily stood down as first minister on Monday to face an inquiry over whether he should have told authorities of the 50,000 pounds ($80,000) his wife raised to help the 19-year-old man open a cafe in Belfast
