'Darth Vader' robs Long Island bank ... by force
* By Arun Kristian Das of myFOXny.com
* From: NewsCore
* July 23, 2010 2:45PM
A MAN wearing a Darth Vader mask and cape robbed a Chase bank branch in Long Island, New York, today.
The thief - who was also clad in camouflage pants - entered a branch in Setauket at 11.30am local time and demanded money from a teller, myFOXny.com said.
But instead of wielding a light saber like the Star Wars villain, renowned for using the Force to get his way in the sci-fi blockbusters, Long Island's dark lord threatened the teller with a semiautomatic gun.
The teller gave the robber some cash from the drawer before he fled through the bank's parking lot.

Disabled Austrian eaten to death by maggots: police
July 28, 2010
A paralysed Austrian man was eaten to death by maggots in his bed while his partner slept beside him, police said Wednesday.
The 61-year-old retiree died in an ambulance on his way to hospital in Vienna on Tuesday with the maggots having partly devoured his back.
Paramedics notified police after discovering the shocking state of hygiene in the man's home, and his 34-year-old partner was questioned over his condition.
"The man had not wanted to be washed for a long time," a police spokesman said.
According to police, the couple had been together for around a decade, and the victim's partner had slept in the same bed right up until his death.
The dead man had been paralysed for several years following a stroke.

Creationists hijack lessons and teach schoolkids man and dinosaurs walked together By Carly Hennessy and Kathleen Donaghey From: The Courier-Mail August 01, 2010 12:00AM
PRIMARY school students are being taught that man and dinosaurs walked the Earth together and that there is fossil evidence to prove it.
Fundamentalist Christians are hijacking Religious Instruction (RI) classes in Queensland despite education experts saying Creationism and attempts to convert children to Christianity have no place in state schools.
Students have been told Noah collected dinosaur eggs to bring on the Ark, and Adam and Eve were not eaten by dinosaurs because they were under a protective spell.
Critics are calling for the RI program to be scrapped after claims emerged Christian lay people are feeding children misinformation.
About 80 per cent of children at state primary schools attend one half-hour instruction a week, open to any interested lay person to conduct.
Many of the instructors are from Pentecostal churches.
Australian Secular Lobby president Hugh Wilson said children were ostracised and discriminated against if they were pulled out of the class.
In many cases, the RI lay people were not supervised by teachers.
Kings Christian Church youth worker Dustin Bell said he taught "about creation" in Sunshine Coast schools.
Set Free Christian Church's Tim McKenzie said when students questioned him why dinosaur fossils carbon dated as earlier than man, he replied that the great flood must have skewed the data.
Queensland Teachers Union president Steve Ryan said teachers were sometimes compelled to supervise the instructors "because of all the fire and brimstone stuff".
Mr Ryan said Education Queensland had deemed RI a must-have, though teachers would prefer to spend the time on curriculum.
Buddhist Council of Queensland president Jim Ferguson said he was so disturbed that Creationism was being aired in state school classrooms that he would bring it up at the next meeting of the Religious Education Advisory Committee, part of Education Queensland.
He said RI was supposed to be a forum for multi-faith discussion.
Education Queensland assistant director-general Patrea Walton said Creationism was part of some faiths, and therefore was part of some teaching.
New research shows three in 10 Australians believe dinosaurs and man did exist at the same time. The survey, by the Federation of Australian Scientific and Technological Societies, shows a "worrying" lack of basic scientific principles.
"The results underscore the need for students to be exposed to science and mathematics through a well resourced education system, rather than learning about science through Jurassic Park," FASTS president Dr Cathy Foley said.
PhD researcher Cathy Byrne found in a NSW-based survey that scripture teachers tended to discourage questioning, emphasised submission to authority and excluded different beliefs. She said 70 per cent of scripture teachers thought children should be taught the Bible as historical fact.
A parent of a Year 5 student on the Sunshine Coast said his daughter was ostracised to the library after arguing with her scripture teacher about DNA.
"The scripture teacher told the class that all people were descended from Adam and Eve," he said.
"My daughter rightly pointed out, as I had been teaching her about DNA and science, that 'wouldn't they all be inbred'?
"But the teacher replied that DNA wasn't invented then."
After the parent complained, the girl spent the rest of the year's classes in the library.

Chris Welding blows himself trying to kill spider that frightened wife Janine
* From: The Daily Telegraph
* September 01, 2010 5:54PM
WHEN his wife screamed there was a spider in the house, Chris Welding sprang to her defence, nearly killing himself in the process.
The IT engineer chased the spider into their bathroom in Clacton, Essex, England.
Wielding a flammable aerosol can, he sprayed the spider as it cowered behind the toilet pan and then lit a cigarette lighter to see if he had killed it.
However, the flame ignited the gas and caused a massive explosion blow Mr Welding off his feet and into the hall, causing severe burns, and lifting the loft door off its hinges.
He suffered flash burns to his head, legs and torso and was rushed by ambulance to hospital after dousing himself in cold water.
"It was about 10.30pm last night. My wife Janine was getting ready for bed and suddenly she let out a scream," he told the Daily Mail in the UK.
"She said there was a spider in the bathroom and asked me to get rid of it - neither she or the kids would go in there.
"The spider had crawled into the recess behind the loo and there was no way I could get to it.
"Stupid as it is, I grabbed a can of deodorant and a lighter and sprayed it behind the loo. The flame shot out and went round the back of the toilet and came back out at me.
"It was a bit of a shock. I've got two burned fingers and a burned knuckle.."
A fire brigade spokesman said firemen found no evidence of the spider, dead or alive.
"We're not entirely sure whether the spider got away or not but there was no sign of it at the scene," said the Essex Fire Service spokesman.

If an opinion contrary to your own makes you angry, that is a sign that you are subconsciously aware of having no good reason for thinking as you do. If some one maintains that two and two are five, or that Iceland is on the equator, you feel pity rather than anger, unless you know so little of arithmetic or geography that his opinion shakes your own contrary conviction. … So whenever you find yourself getting angry about a difference of opinion, be on your guard; you will probably find, on examination, that your belief is going beyond what the evidence warrants.

What the ****?????? How on earth can the school/teacher place that girl in the library for the rest of the year, just because she told the teacher about a very valid point. This is so ridiculous, I am at a shortage for words.
I actually don't know much about how religious people are down here, is it this bad some places?

I'm not really sure as I don't live in Queensland, but I imagine there are cases like that the world over. I've only read of stuff like that happening here once or twice in the news though. Not that it doesn't happen, but it doesn't seem to be a widespread issue.
