World Record for Burnt Skin

[xtermin8or]

Just a little lighthearted news for a change

Only in Hong Kong

A man is fighting to have his world record bid officially recognised - for peeling off the largest ever whole piece of sunburnt skin.

Barry Kwok, from Hong Kong, claims the 21.6cm skin flap is in the shape of China.

Guinness World Records officials say they cannot consider Kwok's record attempt, as he doesn't have any proof the preserved sheet of skin came from him.

Only in America

A Florida schoolteacher has been put on probation for charging pupils bribes to let them skip PE.

Tamara Tootle charged students a dollar a day to miss PE lessons, reports the Pensacola News Journal.

She was sentenced to three years' probation, ordered to perform 300 hours of community service and banned from teaching for three years.

Tootle, a physical education teacher at Ernest Ward Middle School, admitted six felony counts of third-degree bribery.

She told students they could skip PE classes but still receive a grade of 100% for a dollar a day

Only in New Zealand

A virtually blind New Zealand man has been banned from driving after taking the wheel from a drink driver.

Te Aute Matuakore Collier, 29, from Hamilton, was guided by a drunk passenger but crashed into a wall, reports Stuff.co.nz.

Collier, who has just five per cent sight, admitted a charge of reckless driving when he appeared in the Hamilton District Court.

He had been in the back of the car when he told the driver to pull over so he could drive because both the driver and front-seat passenger were drunk.
