A 6-year-old boy has been suspended from his suburban Denver school for three days for sexual harassment after quoting a line from a song.
School officials say the first-grader was sent home from Sable Elementary School after telling a girl "I'm sexy and I know it," a line from a popular song.
The Aurora school issued a statement saying it couldn't discuss the case, but referred to a school board policy that defines sexual harassment as any unwelcome sexual advance. There is no age limit.

The 104 residents of the village will cast their votes later this week on whether to alter the name.http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/howaboutthat/9209343/Austrian-village-F-ing-to-vote-on-name-change.html
“People are now willing to discuss changes to the spelling of the name,” Franz Meindl, the village’s mayor, said in a television interview. “But first all Fuckingers have to agree on whether want to change it or not.” For centuries the tiny village in northern Austria lived life in happy obscurity, but life changed when US troops, stationed in the area at the end of the Second World War, discovered it, and since then the village’s name has been a constant source of amusement for tourists and irritation for locals.
At least 13 £250 road signs bearing the village’s name have been stolen, and the sight of semi-naked women posing for photographs beside signs has become a common sight. One local business woman, exasperated with people stealing her sign has taken to adding another “g” in the hope it will deter thieves.

A family member says painter Thomas Kinkade battled alcoholism over the past several years and had a relapse just before his death at his home in Santa Clara County.
Kinkade's brother, Patrick, tells the San Jose Mercury News (http://bit.ly/IxRfr0) decades of attacks on Kinkade's work and a split with his wife two years ago had taken a toll on the famous "Painter of Light."

In the recording, Nichols tells the dispatcher, "I had ordered some food from Hardeehttp://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gif's over here and the food is no good, and the girl told me when I called her back that I could bring it back and get my money on it. Now she's telling me she can't do anything until tomorrow."
Roane County deputies responding to the call arrested Nichols on "abuse of 911" charges and booked her into the Roane County Jail, according to WRCBtv in Chattanooga, Tenn.
And thus we conclude with a lesson that (apparently) bears repeating again and again: 911 is for emergencies.

An Oxnard middle school teacher was put on administrative leave after she was accused of appearing in at least one pornographic video, district officials said.
District officials have not released the teacher's name and she has not been terminated, KTLA reported.
They placed the teacher on leave on Monday while the allegations are being investigated, Oxnard School District Supt. Jeff Chancer told KTLA Tuesday.

The investigation began Friday when students approached administrators at Richard B. Haydock Intermediate School and told them they had seen a female teacher in a pornographic video.
Administrators tried to verify the students' claims that one of the teachers was a porn star, but couldn't find any evidence that the rumors were true, the Ventura County Star reported. They sent an email to staff members saying the rumors were unfounded.

Police say a North Carolina man is dead after he accidentally drank from a jar of gasoline and then smoked a cigarette.
Havelock police received a 911 call about 9:55 p.m. Monday after 43-year-old Gary Allen Banning set himself on fire. Banning was transported to UNC Burn Center in http://www.blogger.com/img/blank.gifChapel Hill, where he died early Tuesday morning.
City spokeswoman Diane Miller said investigators believe Banning was at a friend's apartment when he apparently mistook a jar of gasoline sitting by the kitchen sink for a beverage. After taking a gulp, he spit the gas out and got some on his clothes.
