..And The Lord Said Let There Be Light…but Not Illegally…. Bishop William Marshall, pastor of City of Life Worship and Deliverance Center and a member of the city’s fire commission, in Bridgeport, CT, was arrested and charged with larceny for stealing over $8,000 worth of electricity from the United Illuminating Co. Police Detective Martin said that investigators for the United Illuminating Co. were out checking a meter at a building on Seaview Avenue where Bishop Marshall operates the Marshall Artz Barber Shop and Tattoo parlour. When the investigators examined the electric meter, they realized that the electricity had been illegally reconnected allowing power to be restored to the barbershop but the service was not reflected on the meter. Police Detective Martin said that although the power to the barbershop had been disconnected in 2013 for Pastor Marshall’s failure to pay an outstanding balance of more than $4,000 it appeared that the meter was still running and electricity was still being delivered to his barbershop. According to the police, pastor Marshall/Barbershop owner/Tattoo shop proprietor had the power but not the money to pay for it. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Ohio Teen Zaps Cop with Stun Gun to Fulfill Bucket-List Wish Police in Newark, Ohio helped a teenage leukemia patient cross off a bucket-list item that was literally shocking. She wanted to use a stun gun on someone and sixteen-year-old Alyssa Elkins got to do just that. After training with the Newark police department, Alyssa got the opportunity to zap Sgt. Doug Bline. He was the first of the police department employee to volunteer in front of a crowd of supporters, in order to satisfy Alyssa’s wish list. Sgt. Bline winced and fell onto a mat, with spotters there to guide him. According to Sgt. Bline, it is unpleasant to say the least, but if for five seconds it makes somebody's dream come true, especially in Alyssa’s situation, he believes that it was well worth it. Alyssa being totally thrilled, told reporters that the experience as "awesome”, and she thanked those who were willing to put themselves out there for her. She had made her bucket list earlier in January, after her leukemia returned and she decided not to undergo further treatment, meaning she'd likely have just a few months to live. She added the stun-gun item to the list half-jokingly after recalling a video of her uncle, Josh Barry, who is a state trooper, being hit with a Taser during his training, The Columbus Dispatch reported. Barry gave Alyssa a second chance to use the stun gun on him, saying that he will do anything for his niece. he told the Dispatch. The next item on Alyssa's bucket list is a family trip to Disney World this month. Her parents say working to check things off of her bucket list helps turn the focus to things other than her illness. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Dead Snake bit Chinese Man as he Prepared it for a Soup Meal A Chinese man was taken to hospital after being bitten by a snake he had already killed and was planning to eat for a Lunar New Year meal, mainland media reported.

Introducing chocolate flavored curry. Unfortunately, this horrible concoction tastes so awful that even Village Vanguard can't deny it. Village Vanguard website actually lists this product as "It tastes awful! Chocolate Curry Happy Choco Flavor" (tonikaku mazui! chokoreeto karee happii choko aji). There is no denying that this product tastes badly. One look at the name of the product admits its awfulness. And if you are still not convinced, read the official product description. Since it paints a vivid picture of the intensity of the disgust of the chocolate-curry blend. The description of the product for this abomination is actually a bizarre apology written by its supposed developer an individual who is known only as the letter "N." A full translation of this strange apology/sales pitch can be found below. Here is the apology...and I quote… "This year I had every intention of making a delicious curry but... When I started I truly intended to make a delicious curry. To think that things turned out like this. The first spoonful I tasted was of just the curry mix (roux). The moment I had my first taste, it was like time stopped. My head was filled with confusion. In order to try to comprehend what in the world had just happened I tried another spoonful. Following the second spoonful, there were 5 seconds of silence, and then, I said "UGH! This is awful!" However, in what I now realize was wishful thinking, I told myself "But, perhaps this is the kind of curry that tastes good with rice!" And so it was time for my third spoonful, this time with rice. However, as I held the spoon my hand began to shake and I was unable to raise the spoon. Looking back on it later, I decided that my instinctual unconsciousness was moving independently from my conscious mind in order to tell me "Don't eat it! It's dangerous!" I am unable to say in this public statement what happened to me after I overcame my fear, so I will leave that up to your imagination. However, I will say this. After I finished eating that day I thought "I have given birth to neither chocolate nor curry, but rather something else entirely." If you feel compelled to do so, you may can purchase this frighteningly curried chocolate concoction for just 540 yen (US$4.70) from the official Village Vanguard website. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Please visit the sites below for full stories: http://www.ctpost.com/local/article/Bishop-arrested-for-illegal-power-10901004.php#photo-12295296 http://www.fox8live.com/story/34376757/ohio-teen-zaps-cop-with-stun-gun-to-fulfill-bucket-list-wish http://www.scmp.com/news/china/society/article/2066500/chinese-man-bitten-dead-snake-he-killed-lunar-new-year-meal?utm_source=&utm_medium=&utm_campaign=SCMPSocialNewsfeed http://www.wbtv.com/story/34387646/police-florida-pastor-caught-with-mans-wife-flees-naked http://www.japankyo.com/2017/01/strange-interesting-japanese-news-food-chocolate-curry-valentines-day.html
