Yogurt Anyone?

Quote:
A grocery store worker accused of handing out a semen-tainted yogurt sample has been sentenced to two years in prison.
Anthony Garcia pleaded guilty in the case in October, admitting he contaminated a sample of the yogurt he was handing out at an Albuquerque Sunflower Market in January 2011. He was sentenced Thursday.
Garcia also admitted putting some of his semen on a plastic spoon that he placed with the yogurt. The 32-year-old then approached a female customer and offered her a sample.
The woman told police that after tasting the sample, she spit on the floor several times and wiped her mouth on the garment she was wearing to get the taste out of her mouth.
Federal prosecutors called the allegations "sickening and appalling."
In an older article the woman was quoted as saying that she knew instantly that there was semen in the yogurt. Thank you lady for making this even more icky.

This reminds me of the old stories of people getting phone calls from recently deceased relatives.

http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/sideshow...193306965.html
Quote:
When Jack Froese, 32, died of a heart arrhythmia in June 2011, he left behind a number of grieving friends and family members. But the BBC reports that several mysterious posthumous emails from Froese's account have brought some happiness and closure to those who were closest to him.
Last November, five months after Froese's death, his childhood best friend Tim Hart received an email from Froese's account.
"One night in November, I was sitting on my couch, going through my emails on my phone and it popped up, 'sender: Jack Froese.' I turned ghost white when I read it," Hart told the BBC. "It was very quick and short but to a point that only Jack and I could relate on."
The email had the subject heading, "I'm Watching." While the text of the message itself read, "Did you hear me? I'm at your house. Clean your f***ing attic!!!"
Hart says that shortly before Froese's death, the two had a private conversation in Hart's attic, during which Froese teased him over the attic's messy state. "Just he and I up there. That's it," Hart said.

Ooh, spooky...just as I read this, noticed someone resembling my old (now deceased) roommate. He was the exact body type/weight, wearing a shirt/pants the exact color/type roommate used to wear. But I've never rec'd any emails from the departed...(((Shudder)))

My cousin has the same name as his (deceased) father but he's always gone by his middle name with family. I never realized he must go by his first name outside of family until I got an e-mail from him. It's been years but seeing my uncle's first and last name show up in my inbox NEVER gets any less creepy, even if it does turn out to be his son every time. He needs to add a "Jr." to the end of it or something.

I hope someone else heard about this to verify what I think I heard: Peanuts are going to outlawed at baseball games because some people are allergic (not just to eating peanuts but also to the smell).

From what I can tell it's just specific seats at certain games, and it's not a new idea.

I had a similar thing happen with an address. My grandma passed away in 2006. My uncle's (also passed) family still owns the building she lived in. I got super creeped when I saw an invitation from that address with our last name on it. Turns out my cousin moved into my grandma's apartment. I had no clue.
