Another advantage of being fat
A 266 Pound Man Who Was Shot In The Stomach Was Saved By His Rolls Of Fat

Chilean doctors say a 266 pound man who was shot in the stomach was saved by his rolls of fat.

They say the bullet lodged in the man's fat and did not damage any vital organs. A thinner person would have been killed immediately.

A hospital spokesperson in Santiago says the man's thick layer of fat acted in the same way as a bulletproof vest, taking the impact of the shot.

La Cuarta newspaper reports Omar Alegria Campos, who's 33, was driving his bus in the San Bernardo area of Santiago when an armed man got on and started robbing passengers.

Alegria stopped the bus and switched on his emergency lights to alert the police. He then tried to grab the man's weapon.

The attacker fired twice. The first bullet smashed the windscreen and the second lodged in the bus driver's stomach.

Despite the wound, Alegria managed to throw himself on top of the robber, stopping him from escaping.

A passing police patrol arrested the 29-year-old attacker. They also took Alegria to El Pino Hospital, where doctors extracted the bullet and sewed up the wound.

Where are the police ?
Mood:  surprised

Car thefts in the state is on the rise, but where are the law enforcers ?

No wonder we can't find the police where they are:

John Howard called Peter Costello into his office one day and said, "Peter I have a great idea! We are going to go all out to win the country voters."

"Good idea PM, how will we go about it?" said Peter.

"Well," said Howard, "we'll get ourselves one of those Driza Bone coats, some RM Williams boots, a stick and an Akubra hat, oh and a Blue Cattle dog. Then we'll really look the part. We'll go to a typical old outback country pub, we'll show we really enjoy the bush."

"Right," said Peter. Days later, all kitted out and with the requisite Blue heeler, they set off from Canberra in a westerly direction. Eventually they arrived at just the place they were looking for and found a typical outback pub. Walked in with the dog and up to the bar.

"G,day mate," said Howard, to the bartender, "two middies of your best beer."

"Good afternoon Prime Minister," said the bartender, "two middies of our best coming up".

Howard and Costello stood leaning on the bar drinking their beer and chatting, nodding now and again to those who came into the bar for a drink. The dog lay quietly at their feet.

All of a sudden, the door from the adjacent bar opened and in came a grizzled old stockman, complete with stockwhip. He walked up to the Cattle dog, lifted it's tail with the whip and looked underneath, shrugged his shoulders and walked back to the other bar. A few moments later, in came another old stockman with his whip. He walked up to the dog, lifted it's tail, looked underneath, scratched his head and went back to the other bar. Over the course of the next hour or so, another four or five stockman came in, lifted the dog's tail and went away looking puzzled.

Eventually, Howard and Costello could stand it no longer and called the Barman over.

"Tell me," said Howard, "why did all those old stockmen come in and look under the dog's tail like that? Is it an old outback custom?"

"Strewth no!" said the barman. "It's just that someone went in and told them that there was a Cattle dog in this bar with two arseholes!"

The dayafter

Rudd, leader of the centre-left Labor Party, indicated that Bush had been unable to persuade him to change his mind about Iraq, saying he had stuck to his well-known position on a staged withdrawal.

 "On the Iraq question ... I made very plain to the president that we had a different point of view," Rudd said. "I think I can safely say he noted that view."

 

 

Due in today in Sydney till next Thursday, someone will be "beckoning" to kickass.
