Gulf News reports that most young men were 'invited' to the nearest Police Stations because of the said case. Those 'arrested' were not doing something indecent, not even acting nor pretending like ladies. They were literally just wearing 'for-men' necklaces and bracelets.

Parents (of the arrested) also expressed shock and disagreement with the implementation as it was not broadcasted or properly dissiminated to the public before they take effect. The CID did some of the arrests happened in Sharjah Mega Mall and Al Qasba which are both known as places mostly or family activities.

An orgasm a day keeps the doctor away - Teacher

2009-07-13T02:38:00.000-07:00

British school pupils are being advised that they have a "right" to enjoy a good sex life and that having intercourse on a regular basis can be good for their cardiovascular health.

A National Health Service leaflet about the benefits of sexual pleasure has been circulated to parents, teachers and youth workers.

Authors of the document argue too much emphasis was laid on the need for "safe sex" and relationships while the main reason to have sex, that is, for enjoyment, has been pushed back, reports Times Online.

The leaflet, entitled Pleasure and drawn up by NHS Sheffield, reads: "an orgasm a day keeps the doctor away."

It also says: "Health promotion experts advocate five portions of fruit and veg a day and 30 minutes' physical activity three times a week. What about sex or masturbation twice a week?"

Steve Slack, director of the Centre for HIV and Sexual Health at NHS Sheffield, said that teenagers have as much right as an adult to an enjoyable sex life.

Slack, one of the authors, also said the move could help delay teenage sex.

But Anthony Seldon, master of Wellington College, Berkshire, who introduced classes in emotional wellbeing, appeared less convinced, saying the approach was "deplorable". (ANI)

I learned this from Rob n Vicky in the Morning show.

A new fad in Tokyo clubs has teens injecting themselves with bags of saline, disfiguring their heads! They call it “Bagel Heads.”

The saline are not permanent. Those bread shapes only last for about 24 hours. The bagels can even be shaded with any food coloring available and molded into any shape you like.

Missing parrot returned to keeper in Japan after reciting name, address

2008-05-21T00:56:00.000-07:00

When Yosuke the parrot flew out of his cage and got lost, he did exactly what he had been taught _ recite his name and address to a stranger willing to help.
Police rescued the African grey parrot two weeks ago from a neighbor's roof in the city of Nagareyama, near Tokyo. After spending a night at the station, he was transferred to a nearby veterinary hospital while police searched for clues, local policeman Shinjiro Uemura said.
He kept mum with the cops, but began chatting after a few days with the vet.

"I'm Mr. Yosuke Nakamura," the bird told the veterinarian, according to Uemura. The parrot also provided his full home address, down to the street number, and even entertained the hospital staff by singing songs.

"We checked the address, and what do you know, a Nakamura family really lived there. So we told them we've found Yosuke," Uemura said. The Nakamura family told police they had been teaching the bird its name and address for about two years. But Yosuke apparently wasn't keen on opening up to police officials.

"I tried to be friendly and talked to him, but he completely ignored me," Uemura said.

Home Alone: Filipino Version

2008-05-17T03:54:00.000-07:00

A Filipino immigrant family has boarded a flight in Vancouver with their tickets, passports, visas, and baggages, leaving their 23-month-old son behind at the airport. Each of the Parreno family thought that the other had the baby. They were seated separately in the transit flight from Vancouver to Winnipeg and probably did not bother to remind each other to look after the kid. They only learned about it when a staff made an announcement. Good, that Air Canada has advised their Vancouver staff to take care of the kid as his father flew back to pick him up.
