Edited Friday, August 5, 2005 at 1:55 AM Man Kills Wife After Sex To Watch Sports On TV ..... (POSTED: 12:29 pm EDT August 4, 2005) PANAMA CITY, Fla. -- A Florida sports fan has been sentenced to death for killing his wife after sex. Christoper Offord got angry because his wife wanted to cuddle after they had sex -- but he wanted to watch sports on television. She died after being struck dozens of times with a claw hammer. Offord later confessed to a bartender at a sports bar, and eventually pleaded guilty to first-degree murder. In imposing the death sentence, the judge said the brutality of the crime outweighed any of the defendant's possible mental problems. Offord did not speak in court, but admitted in a jailhouse interview that he deserved to die. ** This story is very clearly Floridian, but it is also quite Carolla-esque. Not wanting to cuddle? Use of a claw hammer? Eager to finish sex to get back to watching sports? These all scream Adam. —pookie |

Friday, August 5, 2005 at 9:28 AM Somehow this is neither Germany nor Florida, but it seems so much like the former I can only assume it's a German guy living in Oregon. Weird stuff. Teacher Reprimanded for Licking Wounds BEND, Ore. (AP) - A state board voted to publicly reprimand a Central Linn High School teacher and football coach for licking the bleeding wounds of several student athletes. The Oregon Teacher Standards and Practices Commission Wednesday placed Scott Reed on two years' probation. Reed must attend a class on the risks of blood-borne pathogens within the next two months and furnish the commission with written verification of his attendance. Reed agreed to ``stipulated facts'' that included him licking blood from wounds on a track team member's knee, a football player's arm, and a high school student's hand. It was not clear why he licked the wounds. The Linn County Sheriff's Office investigated the case last year. No charges were filed. Sheriff Dave Burright called the behavior ``bizarre'' but not criminal, since the contact wasn't forced. Two students who reported licking incidents and another who witnessed an incident said it seemed that Reed was ``just joking around.'' Reed, a science teacher, resigned this spring as a track coach but remains the school's dean of students and head football coach. The state sanctions virtually duplicated those imposed by the school district. —Beat It! |

Friday, August 5, 2005 at 10:56 PM Here's another GorF: An inventor wants to protect himself from public toilet germs. He has invented a high-tech toilet seat that includes an automatic plastic sleeve. It's a sort of condom for safe sitting. The inventor said the user just has to wave a hand in front of a sensor and a fresh layer of plastic covers the commode seat. The inventor said his toilet seats are already installed in a number of business establishments. —pookie |

The used part is split like a snake molt; the device makes much of this fact, using that to prove that it isn't being reused. However, they seem to get stuck a lot.

Saturday, August 6, 2005 at 9:12 PM I know someone who doesn't use the seat covers at all, saying they don't work. Instead, she keeps a bunch of Lysol wipes in a sandwich-sized Tupperware container in her purse and wipes them down before use. As long as there's no visible soil, I just sit on the damn seat. You guys can laugh at me when I eventually get s. pyogenes, but until then it's all gravy. —Dubious Merit |

Saturday, August 6, 2005 at 9:34 PM Since it was one of the first sites that popped up on a Google search, here's an article from the Cincinatti Enquirer on germs: Germs stack up on desks, keyboards
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
By Dana Knight
The Indianapolis Star
A newly released study claims office workers are exposed to more germs from their phones and keyboards than would be found crawling on a toilet seat. A lot more.
According to the study, from researchers at the University of Arizona, phones have up to 25,127 germs per square inch, keyboards 3,295 per square inch and computer mice 1,676 per square inch. The average toilet seat? Just 49 germs per square inch. "Desks are really bacteria cafeterias," microbiologist Charles Gerba, who researched the study, told BBC News. And just think about all the other communal items in the office - microwave door handles, coffeepots, water coolers, pens, staplers and copy machines. One reason for the germ problem is the high number of companies that shy away from hiring cleaning services to swipe and disinfect desks. They come in and sweep the carpet, scrub down the toilet and wash windows. But keyboards, phones and computer mice are far and away the most germ-laden objects in the office, according to the study. Cleaning folks generally stay away from those items. Employers have to decide how detailed they want their cleaning services to get, but the benefits of allowing and paying for individual desk cleanings is worth it in the end, as it may prevent more illnesses. After all, 80 percent of flus and colds are caught by simply touching a surface. "When someone is infected with a cold or flu bug, the surfaces they touch during the day become germ transfer points because some cold and flu viruses can survive on surfaces for up to 72 hours," Gerba said. "It's just like a day care (center)," said Clarence Bir, sales manager for a janitorial service in Indianapolis. "Once the bug starts in the office, it just circulates." —mikeyfish |

Edited Sunday, August 7, 2005 at 3:24 PM What alot of people dont know is that its not the germs on the toilet which touch your ass that is dangerous, its actually the flush. (not joking) If you could really see with how much force things from inside the toilet start spraying around the room, you would be mortified. Its something I learned a long time ago. So when in a public toilet, if you flush it, turn your back immediately. And just get the F out of there.

"So do you keep your toothbrush more than 20' from the toilet?"
----Dubious Merit.
That is a very good question, one that many people should be asking. Since Ive learned that the aerosols, as Dusty put it, can shoot out of your toilet more than 20 ft. when you flush it. Covering everything in the room in sewer sprinkles. For that reason I started a long time ago putting my tooth brush holder inside of a cabinet.
Although that doesnt ease my mind from knowing that everytime i flush im basically standing in a waterfalls worth of a refreshing myst. I turn my back to it, but then i know im still covered from head to toe.
P.S.
Adam used to talk about the problem of flushing the while you are on the phone.
Ive always wanted to call in and tell him to simply, ask the person on the other line an open ended question that they will take a minute or two to answer, when they begin to speak cover the mouth piece of the phone, flush, and try your darndest to high tail it out of there as fast you can. —AbsolutCarib |

Tuesday, August 9, 2005 at 10:11 AM If you're in one of those public restrooms with no actual lid on the toilet, I can understand the fear, but if you're at home or something (which is, I'm guessing, where your toothbrush is), you probably do have a lid on your toilet, right? If you put that down, then it's not going 20 feet in the air, it's just sorta spraying out the small crack between the lid and the seat, and then falling to the floor, right? —Dark Laith |

Saturday, August 13, 2005 at 10:30 AM Cadaver Exhibit Under Fire ..... POSTED: 10:15 am EDT August 13, 2005 A decision by a government official could nix plans for a museum to display a cadaver exhibit. The committee that oversees the delivery and use of human specimens at medical institutes took notice of the upcoming exhibit at a museum that features Science and Industry. The committee believes it has the authority to demand proof that the deceased or their families authorized the use of the bodies. But some officials say that because the purpose is educational, approval is required. The bodies were preserved at a medical university in China and belong to Chinese people who died unidentified or unclaimed by family members. Officials said they were obtained legally. "BODIES, the Exhibition" features 20 full cadavers and 260 other parts preserved with a process that replaces human tissue with silicone rubber. Skin is removed, exposing the rest in all their authentic glory. —pookie |

The museum said they're going to go ahead with the exhibit anyway, so I'm going to go see it when it opens on the twentieth. It looks very cool. I think chix0r mentioned this exhibit or a similar one a few months back at a museum where she lives, yes? I remember something about preserved bodies in various states of dissection. —Beat It! |
