Did you know a singer in Seoul broke the world marathon for singing?


SEOUL (AFP) – A South Korean housewife on Saturday broke a world record in marathon singing after crooning for more than 76 hours without stopping at a Seoul karaoke bar, local record verifiers said.
Kim Sun-Ok, 54, broke the 75-hour Guinness World Record held by Marcus Lapratt of the United States, the private Korea Record Institute said.
She started singing at 11:14 am Thursday (0214 GMT) and sang a total of 1,283 tunes before she gave up at 3:21 pm Saturday following her family's appeal for her to quit for the sake of her health, it said.
Under Guinness World Record regulations, she was given 30-second breaks between songs and five-minute breaks every hour. She was also barred from singing any song she had already sung less than four hours earlier, it said.
"My sister has had a very strong sense of determination since she was young. Once she sets her mind to anything, she finishes it," her brother, Kwang-Jin, was quoted as telling South Korea's Yonhap news agency.
The Korea Record Institute said it would submit video footage of Kim's feat to the Guinness authorities for official recognition as the new title holder in "longest singing marathon by an individual."

Did you know a man was bitten by a snake at Walmart and is suing?



Wal-Mart is full of signs highlighting low prices, but there should be another warning customers that they might be attacked by snakes on the premises, a bitten shopper says.Hollywood resident Jay Richitelli filed suit against the mega retailer because a venomous pygmy rattlesnake bit him July 6 last year in the lawn and garden section of the Wal-Mart Supercenter in Pembroke Pines. He is seeking an unspecified amount in monetary damages in the Broward Circuit Court case. His attorneys said his medical bills could top $100,000.Richitelli, 42, was the third Floridian within a three-year span to fall victim to a pygmy rattler — a small, ill-tempered snake — slithering around a Wal-Mart garden center. Two men were attacked in separate incidents in 2006 at stores in Central Florida."Since it happened in the past, it was very foreseeable it could happen again," said Armando Paz, Richitelli's attorney.

Wal-Mart declined to discuss the attack because of the pending litigation."The safety of our customers is always the top priority," said Michelle Bradford, a spokeswoman at the chain's headquarters in Bentonville, Ark.Snake attacks at department stores' garden centers are rare, said Miami-Dade Fire-Rescue Capt. Ernie Jillson, head of the agency's Venom Response Bureau. When they do happen, it's usually unclear whether the snake came in with plants or came onto the premises on its own, he said.Pygmy rattlers, which don't grow longer than 2 feet, are one of six species of venomous snakes in Florida. There are no recorded incidents of people dying from their bite, but their venom can cause nerve damage and other medical ailments, Jillson said.Richitelli, who works at his family's thrift store, said he was looking for plants for his father's home when the young rattler clamped onto his right hand."It felt like fire going through my arm," he said."I looked and the thing was latched on."Richitelli said he began swinging his arm trying to get the snake off, accidentally hitting a Wal-Mart employee with the rattler. When he finally shook off the snake, he stomped on it until it was dead, sat down and called 911, he said. more

Did you know Waynesville mom charge with distributing drugs?


WAYNESVILLE — Some mothers give their sons household chores like taking out the garbage or helping with the laundry. Stephanie Bowser is facing charges of having her 14-year-old son help cultivate marijuana.
Bowser was arrested at her Waynesville home Friday afternoon, after months of investigation that began at her former residence on Webbshaw Drive in Washington Twp. The investigation was launched after intelligence from more than one source, said Commander John Burke, with the Warren County Drug Task Force.
According to police, Bowser also gave a 16-year-old friend and her 17-year-old boyfriend prescription drugs to sell at school.
"It's an unusual case and a sad situation, really," Burke said.
Bowser, 38, is accused of distributing Darvocet, Xanax, Ultram and Wellbutrin. She also is charged with allowing Xanax to be sold at her home, and with possessing methadone.
She was indicted on 22 counts by the Montgomery County Grand Jury, including trafficking in drugs, endangering children and corrupting another with drugs.
Her son is with family members and has not been charged.
Bowser, an employee with Northrop Grumman Mission Systems, has security clearance at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base.

Did you know that Householders to be charged for each flush of toilet?


HOUSEHOLDERS would be charged for each flush under a radical new toilet tax designed to help beat the drought.The scheme would replace the current system, which sees sewage charges based on a home's value - not its waste water output. CSIRO Policy and Economic Research Unit member Jim McColl and Adelaide University Water Management Professor Mike Young plan to promote the move to state and federal politicians and experts across the country. "It would encourage people to reduce their sewage output by taking shorter showers,recycling washing machine water or connecting rainwater tanks to internal plumbingto reduce their charges,''Professor Young said. "Some people may go as far as not flushing their toilet as often because the less sewage you produce, the less sewage rate you pay.'' Professor Young said sewer pricing needed to be addressed as part of the response to the water crisis. "People have been frightened to talk about sewage because it is yucky stuff, but it is critically important to address it, as part of the whole water cycle,'' he said. "We are looking at reforming the way sewage is priced and this plan will drive interest in the different ways water is used throughout Australia.'' The reform would see the abolition of the property-based charge with one based on a pay-as-you-go rate and a small fixed annual fee to cover the cost of meter readings and pipeline maintenance, Professor Young said. The pay-as-you-go rate would provide financial savings for those who reduce their waste water output. more
