Soccer parents booked a hotel for Disney’s Soccer Showcase and were shocked to find out that the hotel was also hosting an adult swingers New Year’s Party at the same time.

The families said the sexually adventurous partygoers sometimes flashed breasts and bare buttocks in front of the children as they sashayed through the hotel atrium. The parents described the dress at the Crowne Plaza Hotel-Airport in Orlando as "raunchy, despicable and worse than prostitutes."

"The kids could see through the glass atrium into the ballroom where naked people were dancing," said Rob Young, of Greenville, S.C. "There were exposed breasts, thongs and see-through dresses on women who were not wearing any underwear."

Ruby Cintron was watching a New Year’s Eve fireworks when a stray .45-caliber bullet – shot by someone who fired into the sky to ring in the new year – struct her in the eye.

Neighbors heard several gun shots fired in the area after midnight.

"A lot of loudness and a lot of shooting, repeatedly, like semi automatics," neighbor Ray Beecham said.

Concerned Women for America or CWA, a conservative Christian group, is accusing Barbie of being part of a transgender movement. From the website:

The iconic Barbie Doll has become another tool for promoting gender confusion among children. On the Barbie Web site, www.Barbie.com, there is a poll that asks children their age and sex. The age choices are 4-8, but as Bob Knight, Director of CWA’s Culture & Family Institute, notes children are given three options for their choice of gender.

From the website:

The painted wooden effigy of a tiger mauling a British soldier was made for Tipu Sultan, the ruler of Mysore in India at the end of the 18th century. It contains a miniature organ which ingeniously simulates the tiger roars as well as the groans of the victim. It may have been inspired by the gruesome fate that befell the son of an old adversary, General Sir Hector Munro.

This mysterious mongrel has called the 5,000-acre contaminated expanse of the Berkeley Pit federal Superfund site, combined with Montana Resources’ active mine permit area, its home since 1986. Ironically, its only help in surviving has come from the compassion of miners.

"He really is a neat dog,” says MR Operations President Steve Walsh.

The Auditor, who got his name by always showing up "when you least expected it,” has served as the open pit copper mine’s de facto mascot since its employees befriended the stray nearly 16 years ago. Numerous snap shots of him are proudly placed alongside ore samples and awards plaques in the main office’s glass display case.

Doctors in Yekaterinburg, Russia, found 3 needles in the brain of Gennady Varlamov, who complained of headaches.

His relatives at first thought the news was a joke, but the doctors said that the needles were real, although neither they nor Varlamov himself could explain how they got inside the patient’s skull.

Doctors also said that they had seen similar cases mentioned in medical literature. As a rule, people killed unwanted babies by pushing needles inside their heads — without an autopsy it was very hard to prove that the baby was murdered.

From the website:

"This awesome picture was taken in Bitterroot National Forest in Montana on August 6, 2000. The photographer, John McColgan, is a fire behavior analyst from Fairbanks, Alaska. He took the picture with a digital camera. Because he was working at the time he took the picture he cannot profit from it; however, we feel the picture is a once-in-a-lifetime shot and should be shared."
