TV Presenter Accused of Sorcery, Sentenced to Death in Saudi Arabia

In a story to make your blood boil, a Lebanese man named Ali Hussain Sibat is being sentenced to death in Saudi Arabia.
His crime?
Sorcery.
The father of five is a television personalty who is accused of performing black magic on his show.
He was in Saudi Arabia to make Umra, a traditional muslim pilgrimage, when he was arrested by the countries religious police, the Mutawa'een.
His trail has been dragging on for some time, but now that a verdict has been reached it's receiving global attention.
Here's to hoping he gets set free, or at the very least, they stay his execution until someone can talk so sense into their legal system.

Bank Robbing Leprechauns killed in Tenneessee

Two Leprechauns- or should I say, men in leprechaun costumes- were shot and killed in a gun battle with police on Wednesday, March 18th, in Tennessee.
The men were heavily armed, fled the bank they had just held up, shot at and disabled a police car, and then were killed in the ensuing shootout that followed- details are a little scarce at the moment as this has only just happened, but that's the story right now.
I have to say, one wonders what went the mind of these men as they planned their course of action. Did they think they'd blend better by dressing up for the holidays? Were they planning to walk out the bank disappear into a passing parade?
I like to think the leprechaun bank robbers were already at a party, profusely drunk, and realized they needed more money for beer, and hatched probably the worst plan of all time.

Vampire from Florida to run for president in 2012...as a Republican.

In what is probably the least serious bid for the presidency ever, a Florida man who identities himself as a vampire and has had numerous, and probably slightly illegal, relationships with teen girls, is running for president.

His name is Jonathan Sharkey, better known as Jonathan 'The Impaler' Sharkey. He's 45, dating a 19 year-old (whose friends have made a facebook group trying to raise support to save her from this man) and is, according to CBS, currently on probation after being found guilty of trying to intimidate a federal judge.

He has run for president before, as well as numerous senate and congressional seats. Obviously, none of those have quite panned out. I wonder why?

He has a website, and is actually making a documentary about his experience running for president. If he hadn't shown political ambition all his life, one would perhaps think it was just a big publicity stunt.

Man Attacks Female Police Officer...With His Penis

Yep, you read that right.
A Lithuanian Man living in England, Marium Varinaukas, was drinking heavily in his home, when cops arrived and burst in.
Apparently, he decided to come out swinging.
The article goes on to say that the female officer literally had to duck and dodge to not get impaled.
Check out this choice quote from the BBC, on what he is being charged with:

"The accused got to his feet and was standing over the police officer exposing his penis and thrusting it in her face, forcing her to take evasive action to avoid getting struck."

His defense is essentially that he was binge drinking and doesn't remember any of it.
That takes some balls. And is also probably pretty hard to live down.
