Neither gunfire nor two days in a refrigerator could slay this duck. When the wife of the hunter who shot it opened the refrigerator door, the duck lifted its head, giving her a scare. The man's wife "was going to check on the refrigerator because it hadn't been working right and when she opened the door, it looked up at her," said Laina Whipple, a receptionist at Killearn Animal Hospital. "She freaked out and told the daughter to take it to the hospital right then and there." The 1-pound female ring-neck ended up at Goose Creek Wildlife Sanctuary, where it has been treated since Tuesday for wounds to its wing and leg. Sanctuary veterinarian David Hale said it has about a 75 percent chance of survival, but probably won't ever be well enough to be released back into the wild. He said the duck, which has a low metabolism, could have survived in a big enough refrigerator, especially if the door was opened and closed several times. And he said he understands...

A big city lawyer went duck hunting in rural Missouri. He shot and dropped a bird, but it fell into a farmer's field on the other side of a fence. As the lawyer climbed over the fence, an elderly farmer drove up on his tractor and asked him what he was doing. The litigator responded, "I shot a duck. It fell in this field, and now I'm going to retrieve it." The old farmer replied, "This is my property, and you are not coming over here." The indignant lawyer said, "I am one of the best trial attorneys in the US and, if you don't let me get that duck, I'll sue you and take everything you own. The old farmer smiled and said, "Apparently, you don't know how we settle disputes in Missouri. We settle small disagreements like this with the "Three Kick Rule." The lawyer asked, "What is the Three Kick Rule?" The Farmer replied, "Well, because the dispute occurs on my land, first I kick you three times and then you kick me...

Two things made Christopher Willever's drunken burglary of a Tobacco Hut even worse as he crawled across the store floor — a lousy belt and his camera-loving backside. Omaha's bare-bottom bandit was sentenced to three to five years in prison Friday for his March crime that earned him the fitting distinction. "You were an ass in every true sense of the word in this crime," Douglas County District Judge Thomas Otepka told the 22-year-old Willever. \ Tired of being poor, Willever drank a fifth of rum and decided to rob the store, said his public defender, Kelly Steenbock. He was drunk enough not to realize that his pants had fallen down, exposing his bottom to cameras that eventually fed the surveillance to TV shows across the country. "He was pretty humiliated and embarrassed," Steenbock said. "He showed his bottom to whoever turned on the TV." Steenbock pleaded with the judge to sympathize with Willever's youth, no prior felony charges and parti...

Naomi Campbell pleaded guilty to misdemeanor assault Tuesday for hitting her maid with a cell phone over a pair of missing jeans. "I threw a cell phone in the apartment. The cell phone hit Ana," Campbell told Manhattan Criminal Court Judge Robert Mandelbaum. "This was an accident because I did not intend to hit her." If convicted at trial, Campbell, who originally had been charged with second-degree felony assault, could have been sentenced to two to seven years in prison. Campbell, 36, hit Ana Scolavino in the back of the head with the phone in the supermodel's Manhattan apartment last March. Scolavino was treated for a head injury. Play Online Poker In exchange for her guilty plea, Campbell must pay Scolavino's medical expenses of $363, do five days of community service and attend a two-day anger management program. The British catwalker wore stiletto heels, a tight-fitting black dress and waist-length jacket and several gold chains around her neck for her...

Neteller founders Stephen Lawrence and John Lefebvre have been charged with money laundering charges by the US Attorney General in the Southern District of New York. A statement from the office of Michael Garcia added that Lawrence and Lefebvre had been arrested in connection with the “creation and operation of an internet payment services company that facilitated the transfer of billions of dollars of illegal gambling proceeds from US citizens to the owners of various internet gambling companies located overseas.” Lawrence was arrested yesterday in the US Virgin Islands and will be presented in federal court in St Thomas by tomorrow. Lefebvre was arrested in Malibu, California and will be presented in a Los Angeles court later today. Lawrence and Lefebvre were arrested in the early hours of Monday morning, January 15. Neteller suspended its share price this morning as the news broke. In a statement released earlier today, Neteller said neither Lawrence or Lefebvre had any current posi...

The founders of Skype, who have been busy preparing to launch the world's first broadcast-quality Internet TV service, moved one step closer to official debut by giving the nascent service a name: Joost. The service, until now known only by the codename "The Venice Project," is designed to enable broadcasters to push their programming out to a worldwide audience over the Internet. "People are looking for increased choice and flexibility in their TV experience, while the entertainment industry needs to retain control over their content," said Fredrik de Wahl, Joost's CEO, in a statement. "With Joost, we've married that consumer desire with the industry's interests." De Wahl said Joost will replicate the complete television experience and ultimately fill a critical gap in online entertainment. "It will allow viewers to access all kinds of television over the Internet," he said. Television Online Niklas Zennstrom and Janus Friis sold...

Toyota is developing a fail-safe system for cars that detects drunken drivers and automatically shuts the vehicle down if sensors pick up signs of excessive alcohol consumption, a news report said Wednesday. Cars fitted with the detection system will not start if sweat sensors in the driving wheel detect high levels of alcohol in the driver's bloodstream, according to a report carried by the mass-circulation daily, Asahi Shimbun. The system could also kick in if the sensors detect abnormal steering, or if a special camera shows that the driver's pupils are not in focus. The car is then slowed to a halt, the report said. \ The world's No. 2 automaker hopes to fit cars with the system by the end of 2009, according to the report. Calls to Toyota's headquarters in Nagoya rang unanswered on Wednesday, a public holiday. Nissan Motor, another Japanese car manufacturer, has already been experimenting with breathalyzer-like devices that could detect if a driver was drunken. Simi...

The Pokerstars.com Moneymaker Millionaire poker extravaganza culminated in the final table over the weekend, held at the Atlantis Resort and Casino in the Bahamas, where the Chris Moneymaker legend of an unknown player beating formidable opposition was extended by another unfamiliar player who became a major winner. An incredible 830 000 players started out in the PokerStars.com freeroll, with months of play finally culminating in a diverse field of 27 players, who were flown to the Atlantis Resort and Casino in the Bahamas for the televised finale.

Taking a beat is quite possibly the most difficult skill to master in poker. You may be a top class player with every move in the book, but if you can’t take a knock without going on tilt, then sooner or later, you’re going to go bust. Not even the greatest player in the World can avoid the occasional bad beat. Now, when I use the term ‘beat’, I don’t just mean a bad beat or an outdraw, players can just as easily go off the rails from misplaying a hand or misclicking at a crucial point. If it’s costing you money, then somewhere, deep down perhaps, there’s a part of you that’s fierce with rage, and it is this fire that you need to learn to control. A year or two back, I would have slipped into that dreaded pitfall that so many of us tend to succumb to. You’re tired, hot and bothered, sick of losing, then suddenly, you actually find a hand, a flopped straight perhaps. All the money goes in, but your donkey of an opponent somehow manages to fluke a runner runner flush. ARGH!!! Tilt Time! ...

In the world of tournament poker, the blinds are of the utmost importance. When it comes to the latter stages of comps, knowing how to adjust to the increasing blinds is a vital skill that if mastered could be the difference between hitting the bubble and taking home thousands. In ring games, however, the blinds hold less significance due to (1) the increased stack sizes compared to the blinds and (2) The lack of any clock or blind levels. But incredibly, even with this information at hand, I still witness people treating the blinds as highly desirable commodities. First and foremost, if you sit with the maximum amount (which is predominantly 100 times the big blind), the value of your blind is next to nothing. Therefore, defending it becomes an almost worthless practice. If someone’s that desperate to take your blind, then let them. Calling a pre-flop bet out of position with a weak holding will only cause you problems and create difficult decisions. On the flipside, attacking the bli...
