Crazy Woman Kept Her Dead Children In Apartment

Sunday, January 13th, 2008

Crazy Woman Kept Her Dead Children In Apartment pictureWhen Larry Jones noticed a foul odor coming through a vent in his apartment, he chalked it up to dead mice and spoke to his landlord. But it was not until Wednesday, when U.S. marshals delivered an eviction notice next door, that Jones learned the real source of the stench. It was something way more crazy than a dead mouse. The smell came from the decomposing bodies of four young people.

Banita Jacks, 33, was charged with four counts of first-degree murder and appeared in District of Columbia Superior Court. She did not speak during the hearing and superior Court Magistrate Judge Karen Howze ordered her held without bond.

When investigators came Jacks told a crazy story about children being possessed by demons. She said they began dying in their sleep, one by one, within a seven-day period, and added that she had not fed them for a substantial time before their deaths.

According to the police she said that the deaths occurred before a utility turned off her electricity, which prosecutors said was in September 2007, according to charging documents.

“I don’t think anyone in the city can remember a case involving this many young people who have died in such a tragic way,” Mayor Adrian Fenty said.

Medical examiner Dr Marie-Lydie Pierre-Louis said that Investigators believe the bodies had been there at least two weeks based on the insects that were found, but it was unclear exactly how and when the victims died. Authorities have said the children might have been dead since May.

Welcome to Funny Stuff

Colleen and Jim Mesler moved into a rented apartment on July 1st 2007. But in early December, the fridge’s self-defrosting freezer wasn’t working right, so Colleen decided to clean the refrigerator and made one crazy discovery.

I pulled this tray out. It was wrapped in tin foil and plastic, but it was moldy,” Colleen said of the package she found.

I said, ‘Why don’t you throw it out?” Jim said. “I thought it was old meat, stale meat.

But it didn’t smell like bad meat,” Colleen said. “I pulled it apart and found $100 bills. I was more shocked. ‘I’m not throwing this away,’ I thought.

They’ve spent the day trying to separate the bills apart with a pair of tweezers.

About $2,000 of it was torn up, or we couldn’t get the mold off it,” said Jim.

They took it to the M&I Bank, hoping to exchange the moldy, broken-up bills for fresh ones. The M&I bank employee advised them to call the police.

Unfortunately, the previous renters of the apartment had been charged with drug trafficking. In a February raid, police uncovered crack cocaine, marijuana, a scale, and other piece of evidence that pointed to drug sales. About $1,100 was also found on purpotrators.

The Meslers are still waiting the official word on whether they would be allowed to keep the money.

Welcome To Funny Stuff

Crazy New Taser pictureAn Arizona-based electronic company has unveiled a new gadget which integrates a Taser stun gun with an mp3 player at the annual Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas, Nevada.

This crazy new device known as the Taser Music Player Holster – has already earned the nickname the iTaser.

It fires a 50,000-volt electric charge, but the ampage of the shock the victim receives is as low as 0.00.21 amps. The built-in MP3 player can store 1GB of songs.

The manufacturers hope that it will be popular among women. They’ve already made it available in “red-hot” red, “fashion” pink and even leopard skin print for customers who are as style conscious as they are safety conscious.

Rick Smith of Taser International said that this new product is a result of listening to the customers and stated that “Personal protection can be both fashionable and functionable.

A lot of women aren’t going to go into a gun store and feel comfortable enough buying a Taser, so now we have some outdoor companies and dealers – some cell phone places are starting to carry them and hang them next to phones.

24-year-old Chris Sands has tried every single one of them and nothing helped yet. After eleven months of trying the hiccups are still there.

He is unable to perform as a singer with his bans and lately he had a lot of troubles with sleeping and even breathing.
Doctors gave him a brain scan, abdomen scan, chest scan and CT scan all in an effort to uncover the reason behind his mystery hiccuping, but so far there has been no diagnosis.

Then they’ve suggested an Oxygen chamber and despite his claustrophobia he did get into a metal tank. U guessed another failure.

Made by extracting silver from metal, into water with an electrical current, and drinking it, it’s billed as something that will cure just about everything that ails you.

But his body reacted in a crazy way to this medicine. From fair skin and freckles he started changing to blue skinned man.

The change was so gradual I didn’t notice it. A friend I hadn’t seen in months saw me when I was at my parents’ house and said, ‘what did you do to your face.

After interviewer said “After it turned your skin blue, your still drinking it?” Pauls answered “Yeah, but much less.

Actually Paul doesn’t believe drinking this potion caused the discoloration. He believes it happened because he rubbed it on his face to treat a skin problem.

Medical condition called Argyria has been linked to such discoloration since the days when silver solutions were used as antibiotics, but whatever caused his current condition, Paul says it’s not easy living life as a blue man.

Friday, December 14th, 2007

glowing catsWhat if I tell you that a cat that glows in the dark exists? You’d say I’m lying, right?

South Korean scientists have cloned cats by manipulating fluorescent gene. They used a procedure that could help in developing of treatments for human genetic diseases. Side effect? Cats glow in the dark when exposed to UV light.

Three cats with altered fluorescence protein (RFP) were created at Gyeongsang National University.

“It marked the first time in the world that cats with RFP genes have been cloned,” the ministry said in a statement.

“The ability to produce cloned cats with the manipulated genes is significant as it could be used for developing treatments for genetic diseases and for reproducing model (cloned) animals suffering from the same diseases as humans,” it added. The cats were born in January and February. One was stillborn while two others grew to become adult Turkish Angoras, weighing 3.0 kilograms (6.6 pounds) and 3.5 kilograms.
