Child gets coffin as Christmas gift

Andrew “Hollywood” Peck is getting a Batmobile casket for Christmas — but it’s the kind of gift no parent wants their child to receive. The 10-year-old Portsmouth, Ohio, boy has a rare genetic brain disorder and may not make it to the holiday.

That’s where Trey Ganem comes in. The bearded and tattooed Dark Knight from Edna, Texas, crafts custom caskets and donates them to families touched by tragedy as a way of guiding them through the crushing sadness. “It celebrates life and brings out the campfire stories,” Ganem said. Andrew’s grandmother, Annette Peck, who has raised Andrew for most of his life, is well aware that some might think a Batmobile coffin is macabre.

Justin Welby has admitted that the terrorist attacks in Paris had made him doubt the presence of God. The Archbishop of Canterbury said he was left asking why the attacks happened and where God was when the militant jihadis struck.

He said he reacted with ‘profound sadness’ at the events, particularly as he and his wife had lived in Paris when he was an oil executive. Asked if these attacks had caused him to doubt where God was, he said: ‘Oh gosh, yes,’ and admitted it put a ‘chink in his armour’. Appearing on Songs Of Praise, which will be broadcast on BBC 1 this evening, he said: ‘Saturday morning, I was out and as I was walking I was praying and saying: “God, why

A Kuwaiti man has divorced his bride just one day into their marriage after he failed to fulfill his husbandry duties on their wedding night - and she had the audacity to try to help him along.

The man found himself unable to consummate their marriage on the first night of their honeymoon in Saudi Arabia, and his young bride then decided to take the matter into her own hands. The Saudi woman allegedly tried to reassure her new husband about the situation, and 'showed him what to do', but surprisingly this did not go down well.

An Indian father-of-two bled to death after cutting out his own tongue as a sacrifice to a Hindu goddess. Deepak Kol, 28, collapsed minutes after using a knife to chop off the vital organ during the holy festival of Navratri. But instead of taking him to the hospital, Deepak's desperate family and festival worshippers tried to 'resurrect' him by singing hymns and praying.

'We kept praying until 4am in the morning, hoping that Devi [Hindu goddess] would instil life in my son's body,' his father Sukhdeo, a farmer, told MailOnline. 'When that did not happen, I knew that the Goddess has given Deepak a place in her lotus feet.' Deepak, from Kharhata village, northern India, had been fasting for days before he removed his tongue in tribute to Durga, the goddess of good triumphing over evil. He fell unconscious in the village temple - but other worshippers, who had fallen into a prayer-induced trance failed to notice anything was wrong for five hours. When they realised he was unconscious, they continued to pray and chant to resurrect him.

They said they use coffin to 'urge people to embrace God because once death occurs, it is too late to decide'. People in the area protested, saying it was scaring children and it was disrespectful.

One man learned a very valuable lesson after cheating on his girlfriend: If you're going to be unfaithful, don't leave your appendages vulnerable to a fiery attack.

After finding out that her man had slept with her co-worker, an unknown woman decided to get some payback - against the very body part he had strayed with. While he was sleeping, she snuck up on him, with a camera running, and set the underwear he was wearing on fire. - In a 30-second clip shared by Elite Daily, the man is seen fast asleep in a white bed wearing just underwear and a pair of high socks.

A woman, presumably his girlfriend or wife, whose face cannot be seen, carefully and quietly removes the blanket that is partially covering him. She then opens a bottle of nail polish remover and slowly pours some of the liquid over the groin area of his underwear.

With a long lighter, she sets the front of his underwear on fire. It only burns for about a second before her boyfriends jolts awake, screaming and batting at the flames.

'You cheating on me with my f***ing co-worker, you didn't think I was gonna find out?' she is heard saying as he rolls over and moans, holding his crotch. 'Get your s*** and get the f*** out,' she says, as he falls off the bed and stumbles off camera. She's certainly not the first scorned woman whose lover has faced hell this year.

In April, a Japanese woman got revenge on her cheating boyfriend by destroying thousands of dollars worth of technology. Furious over his infidelity, she tossed his iMac desktop computer, Mac laptop, iPhone, iPad, and other gadgets into a bathtub full of water. The heartbroken man then shared images of his destroyed Apple collection on Twitter.

Bird carrying cocaine and marijuana arrested for drug dealing

A homing pigeon was intercepted by police at a prison near San Jose, Costa Rica, after it was seen by a guard landing in the jail’s courtyard with a bag tied to its body.

On inspection, the black zipper bag was found to contain 14g of cocaine and the same amount of marijuana. Authorities suspect the bird was looked after and fed by an inmate in the medium-security wing of La Reforma prison, Costa Rica’s biggest penitentiar, before someone smuggled it out of the prison only to load it with illicit cargo ahead of its return route.

The director of Costa Rica’s prison police force told the media after the ruse had been exposed last Tuesday that the pigeon was able to fly perfectly well despite the drug-stuffed pouch strapped against its breast. Pablo Bertozzi, who said he had seen cases of cats being used to transport drugs strapped to their tails, added that the homing pigeon incident would lead to a redoubling of efforts to clean the jail of controlled substances.

“The real problem is that there is a lot of consumption. If there weren’t consumers, the drugs wouldn’t be arriving”, Mr Bertozzi said. The bird, which has affectionately been nicknamed “narcopigeon” (narcopaloma) by Costa Ricans, has been handed over by the authorities to a zoo, where it is being kept under observation before being housed in a larger enclosure.

“Because of the way it came to us, it can never be freed,” a zoo worker told local media, adding that the bird was reluctant to eat, probably because it had become used to being hand-fed by one person. In 2011, prison guards in Bucaramanga, Colombia, found a pigeon attempting without success to fly over the wall into the jail laden with 45g of marijuana. Two years ago, police in Buenos Aires smashed a marijuana-trafficking ring which used pigeons as a risk-free manner to transport the drug to their home base.

A 113-million-year-old fossil from Brazil is the first four-legged snake that scientists have ever seen. Several other fossil snakes have been found with hind limbs, but the new find is estimated to be a direct ancestor of modern snakes.

Its delicate arms and legs were not used for walking, but probably helped the creature to grab its prey. The fossil shows adaptations for burrowing, not swimming, strengthening the idea that snakes evolved on land. That debate is a long-running one among palaeontologists, and researchers say wiggle room is running out for the idea that snakes developed from marine reptiles.
