A San Francisco man convicted of swiping people’s mail will have to wear a what amounts to a “scarlet letter,” telling the world he’s a thief, a court ruled yesterday.
Shawn Gementera was ordered to spend 100 hours in front of a local post office wearing a sandwich board bearing the words: “I have stolen mail. This is my punishment.”
Sex for 27 hours straight? It’s happening in Madrid, where a marathon play called “Sex” has been shocking audiences.
It features four actors, two men and two women, and there is no intermission in the entire “performance,” during which the stars sleep and have sex, while those in the audience are free to come and go as they please.
The play was created by Chilean writer Juan Carlos Montagna, who insists, “There is no improvisation in it – it’s pure drama.”
The show has been described as the “most bizarre theater experience in years.”
A Bolivian mom has saved an abandoned week-old puppy – by breast-feeding it.
She found the dog in a dump in the town of Cochabamba and realized she could nurse it, since she’s also feeding her 14-month-old daughter.

A retired New Jersey man has been dubbed “King of the Roadkill Eaters” for his hobby of turning recently squashed critters into dinner.
Harry Jacobs, 72, says he drives up to 100 miles from his home in Hammonton to look for dead animals on the road because he doesn’t like to see food wasted.
“It keeps me alive, gives me something to look forward to beside nothing,” he explained.
More than 30,000 Nike sneakers are drifting in the Pacific Ocean after spilling from a container ship off northern California.
The ship lost its cargo on Dec. 15 during a storm. Among the load were three 40-foot containers, each carrying an estimated 5,500 pairs of Nikes.
They may be soggy, but they are wearable, an expert says. There’s just one hitch. “Nike forgot to tie the laces, so you have to find mates,” said an oceanographer.
