"Pig farts spark Australia gas scare"
(AFP) – A flatulent pig sparked a gas emergency in southern Australia when a farmer mistook its odours for a leaking pipe, according to officials.
Fifteen firefighters and two trucks were called to a property at Axedale in central Victoria state after reports of a gas leak, the Country Fire Service said.
"When we got there, as we drove up the driveway, there was this huge sow, about a 120-odd kilo (265-pound) sow, and it was very obvious where the gas was coming from," said fire captain Peter Harkins.
"We could not only smell it, but we heard it and it was quite funny."
Harkins said the pig's owner was "a little bit embarrassed to say the least," and it took fire crews a little while to compose themselves.
"It was fairly obvious what it was. I think we dealt with it fairly professionally and had a bit of a giggle when we got back to the station," he told public broadcaster ABC.

"Woman sees image of Jesus on her iron"
Odd News:
"Woman sees image of Jesus on her iron"
(ap)– A Massachusetts woman who recently separated from her husband and had her hours cut at work says an image of Jesus Christ she sees on her iron has reassured her that "life is going to be good."
Mary Jo Coady first noticed the image Sunday when she walked into her daughter's room.
The brownish residue on the bottom of the iron looks like the face of a man with long hair.
The 44-year-old Coady was raised Catholic. She and her two college-age daughters agree that the image looks like Jesus and is proof that "he's listening."
Coady tells The Eagle-Tribune she hopes her story will inspire others during the holidays. She says she plans to keep the iron in a closet and buy a new one.

"Blind man had tooth implanted in eye so he could see again"

"Blind man had tooth implanted in eye so he could see again"
A 42-year-old has had a tooth implanted into his eye socket, allowing him to see again after 12 years in darkness.
The bizarre, groundbreaking operation took eight hours to remove one of his front teeth and transform it into a lens holder.
Martin, who was blinded when a tub of white hot aluminium exploded in his face, said: "My eye looks like something out of a sci-fi movie. My friends are amazed at it."
Martin, of Rotherham, South Yorks, had the horrific accident when he was working in a scrapyard.
It was decided that he would be suitable for the revolutionary tooth transplant carried out by Christopher Liu, the country's only consultant able to carry out the surgery.

"Cuba offers free penis implants"
Odd News:
"Cuba offers free penis implants"
Cuba's government has offered its first free penis implants as part of a program set to be expanded across the communist island, an official newspaper reported.
It is likely not what Karl Marx had in mind when he imagined a society transformed "from each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs", but Juventud Rebelde reported the silicon and silver penis implants are set to become more common.
Men in seven Cuban provinces will be eligible for the procedure, which urologist Juan Carlos Yip boasted was normally "exclusive to first-world countries and at a high cost".
"It will be carried out in patients whose sexual suffering does not respond positively to traditional treatments," he said.
Men over 40s and those with diabetes or circulation problems are set to be first in line, the paper reported.

"Agent showing house finds pile of bones"
Odd News:
"Agent showing house finds pile of bones"
(ap)– A real estate agent showing a house got to the basement and found about 100 human bones in a corner. James Kenny, a forensic investigator with the Terrebonne Parish Coroner's Office, says the bones found Saturday were so old that dirt had saturated the marrow inside them. He says they probably are remains of Native Americans buried long before the house was built.
Kenny says he learned that the previous residents would often find bones while mowing the lawn or doing yard work, and would put them in the basement.
Half of the split-level house is on top of a circular mound, which parish officials suggest may be an Indian burial mound.
Neither the agent nor the home's owner would talk to The Courier of Houma.

"Eye doc may lose license after calling patient fat"
Odd News:
"Eye doc may lose license after calling patient fat"
(UPI) -- A 77-year-old North Carolina eye doctor is in hot water with the state Medical Board after a patient said he called her fat.
The patient wrote in a private complaint to the board that Dr. Earl Sunderhaus of Ashville called her irresponsible because she was unemployed and using Medicaid while pregnant with her second child in as many years, The (Raleigh, N.C.) News & Observer reported.
The woman said she was further angered when Sunderhaus poked her in the thigh and called her fat.
"When I got home I was very upset about the way I was treated by him," she wrote in the complaint.
Sunderhaus said he was making a point with the woman about how obesity can lead to diabetes, which causes blindness. He said he expects to get "screwed" by the board but he will accept any punishment from the board, even if it means losing his license.
"I'm 77," he said. "I can tell them to stick the darn thing."
