Woman found guilty of stalking herself (http://www.news.com.au/national/woman-found-guilty-of-stalking-herself/story-e6frfkvr-1225819119845)

^That was a good one and hard to even ponder...I'd say that if she never filed charges against her stalker that the suspect should not have to serve jail time.

[pennyfeedsfoxes]

its help she needs, not prison.

[bradders]

it's a suspended sentence so she won't actually go to prison, she needs help but she was causing distress to and pressurising the poor guy for quite some time so there was a victim other than herself

This story (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-1245862/Diffrent-Strokes-star-Gary-Coleman-arrested-domestic-assault.html) about Gary Coleman isn't that bizarre in itself but for these two sentences;


But it revealed police officers did respond to the 4ft 8in star's home on Sunday for an unnamed "civil disturbance."


Coleman is married to Shannon Price, who is almost half his age - and almost twice his height.

[RubyDuby]

I take it you aren't familiar with Gary Coleman? :)

[Risker]

Obviously not very, I didn't know he was married to the tallest woman in the world.

[RubyDuby]
