"We can't get rid of prostitution, so have to learn how to control it," Police spokesman Reto Casanova said.

Now if they only can figure out how to tax it, they'll probably balance the city budget!

that's what they do in Nevada....

Ok, this totally creeps me out. He couldn't even wait until after she's gone to announce this?! I think he also claimed to be the father of Anna Nicole Smith's baby, sheesh.

I would be totally freaked out if a passenger next to me died in-flight. Especially if I had to stay in the same seat for the last hour.

ATLANTA (AP) — Delta Air Lines says a 57-year-old passenger was found dead aboard a flight from Lagos, Nigeria to Atlanta.
Georgia Bureau of Investigation spokesman John Bankhead says the woman's body was taken to the GBI crime lab for an autopsy.
Delta spokeswoman Susan Elliott says the passenger was found unresponsive early Monday aboard Delta Flight 53, about an hour out of Atlanta and about 11 hours after it took off.

World's first ornithopter takes flight

A Canadian student inspired by Leonardo da Vinci's sketches says he has made the first sustained flight in a human-powered, wing-flapping aircraft. Todd Reichert's ornithopter is an engineless plane that stays aloft by flapping its wings like a bird. The craft, dubbed "Snowbird", flew 145m (476 feet) at the Great Lakes Gliding Club in Tottenham, Ontario.
The Federation Aeronautique Internationale is expected to confirm the record at its meeting in October.
