to Barry Manilow or the theme tune from the children's TV show Barney And Friends.<br /><br />Judge Paul Sacco said he decided to try something new after noticing that violators brought before his Colorado court for playing their stereos too loudly or disturbing neighbours with band rehearsals kept doing it again.<br /><br />The usual practice of fining these offenders was not proving to be a deterrent, so he decided to give them a dose of their own medicine and make them listen to his musical selection at high volume for one hour.<br /><br />"This is a way, when I look back, of teaching manners to people," Mr Sacco, a judge from Fort Lupton Municipal Court in Colorado, told Reuters Television.<br /><br />He said his methods had cut the number of repeat offenders appearing in his court.<br /><br />- <b>Reuters<br /><br /></b>ABC 27-11-8<br /><br /><a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/11/27/2430951.htm" eudora="autourl">

removed, the newspaper said.<br /><br />It said the fire and rescue department were also involved in trying to remove the nut from the unnamed welder, who is in his 20s and hoped the nut would weigh down his penis to make it longer.<br /><br />"The patient is now recovering and we hope to discharge him today (Sunday)," hospital director Daud Abdul Rahim told the Star.<br /><br />On August 25,

sloppiness with enemas".<br /><br />"There is no kitsch or obscenity, it is a successful work of art," said spa director Alexander Kharchenko.<br /><br />"An enema is almost a symbol of our region."<br /><br />The monument was designed with "irony and humour", said sculptor Svetlana Avakina, who modelled the angels on the works of Italian Renaissance painter Alessandro Botticelli.<br

told the 260 residents of the village of Sarpourenx that "all persons not having a plot in the cemetery and wishing to be buried in Sarpourenx are forbidden from dying in the parish".<br /><br />It added: "Offenders will be severely punished".<br /><br />The Mayor said he was forced to take drastic action after an administrative court in the nearby town of Pau ruled in January that the acquisition of adjoining private land to extend the cemetery would not be justified.<br /><br />Mr Lalanne, who celebrated his 70th birthday on Wednesday and is standing for election to a seventh term in this month's local elections, said he was sorry that there had not been a positive outcome to the dilemma.<br /><br />"It may be a laughing matter for some, but not for me," he said.<br /><br />-

high on Mt Sinai: Israeli study<h1><b>Moses high on Mt Sinai: Israeli study</b></h1><span style="font-size:100%;">Moses was on psychedelic drugs when he heard God deliver the Ten Commandments on Mount Sinai, an Israeli researcher claimed in a study published this week.<br /><br />Such mind-altering substances formed an integral part of the religious rites of Israelites in biblical times, Benny Shanon, a professor of cognitive psychology at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem wrote in the <i>Time and Mind</i> journal of philosophy.<br /><br />"As far as Moses on Mount Sinai is concerned, it was either a supernatural cosmic event, which I don't believe, or a legend, which I don't believe either, or finally, and this is very probable, an event that joined Moses and the people of Israel under the effect of narcotics," Dr Shanon told Israeli public radio.<br /><br />Dr Shanon, who says he himself has dabbled with such substances, says Moses was probably also on drugs when he saw the "burning bush".<br /><br />"The Bible says people see sounds, and that is a classic phenomenon," he said, citing the example of religious ceremonies in the Amazon in which drugs are used that induce people to "see music."<br /><br />He mentioned his own experience when he used ayahuasca, a powerful psychotropic plant, during a religious ceremony in Brazil's Amazon forest in 1991.<br /><br />"I experienced visions that had spiritual-religious connotations," he said.<br /><br />He said the psychedelic effects of ayahuasca were comparable to those produced by concoctions based on bark of the acacia tree, that is frequently mentioned in the Bible.<br /><br />- <b>AFP<br /><br /></b>ABC 5-3-8<br /><br /><a href="http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2008/03/04/2179961.htm" eudora="autourl">

who uses his penis as a brush has entered a racy self-portrait for Australia's top art prize.<br /><br /></b>Australian Tim Patch, who calls himself Pricasso, usually exposes his talents at sex product fairs around the world, but has decided to go upmarket by entering a painting for the Archibald Prize - the nation's top award for portraiture.<br /><br />In a unique painting style, Patch does not use paint brushes, but his penis to apply paint to the canvas.<br /><br />"I had to use my bum to paint in the background, because you have to have the occasional break," Patch said to the <i>Sydney Morning Herald</i> newspaper today.<br /><br />Patch entered a painting of a plastic surgeon in last year's Archibald Prize, but failed to impress the judges.<br /><br />This year's entry depicts a nude Patch, wearing only a hat, holding a blank canvas to hide his "brush".<br /><br />The Art Gallery of New South Wales in Sydney expects up to 700 portraits to be entered for the 2008 Archibald Prize, with the finalists to be announced in March.<br /><br /><br />Daily Telegraph 20-2-8<br /><br /><a
