Yeah, I wasn't going to put it in this thread because, as a joke, it's not a WTF, but there is that .001% chance that someone is that insane. There are people who still think Elvis is alive, so you never know.
That's like a one in ten thousand chance. So ...There are roughly 6 billion people in the world.There are roughly 600,000 people who feel that way.

Gambler Appeals; Wants More of His Money Back From CasinoA 67-year-old South Korean man who lost millions gambling is appealing a decision in which a court ordered a casino to pay him the equivalent of over $2 million (U.S.) in damages for allegedly turning a "blind eye" to his gambling addiction. He says the $2 million is not enough.Please note: All values in this post have been converted (very roughly) to U.S. dollars from the original South Korean currency, the won, to spare you any confusion over how much won he won or, more accurately, did not win. (There is no additional charge for this service.) Currently, a U.S. dollar will get you about 1,269 won, or one item at your local "Everything's 1,269 Won" store.That Demon Wheel The man, identified only as "Chung," claimed that the Kangwon Land casino knew he was betting more than the casino limit, but let him do so. Mr. Chung contends it is therefore responsible for the $23 million he lost. This was not, however, a simple case of betting more than the limit, which was about $8,000. It appears that the casino enforced this. But, feeling constrained, Chung ingeniously hired other people to act as "subordinate bettors" so he could bet more, indirectly. He apparently employed as many as five subordinate bettors at once, allowing him to bet up to $48,000 at a time, and thereby lose much faster. Over a span of about four years, Chung claims he lost a total of $23.5 million, as a result of the casino turning a blind eye to the activities of his six-member wagering team.Again, Chung won in the trial court (that's the English word "won," emphasized to suggest surprise) in the trial court, which awarded him over $2 million. And so, of course, he is appealing, hoping to force the casino to pay him the full amount. (I assume the damage claim includes whatever he was paying his subordinate bettors, but the report didn't say.)Lawyers for the casino were quoted as saying that Chung lost the money in a "voluntary and normal way." It seems sort of voluntary, but not that normal.This is the largest gambling-addiction lawsuit that I'm aware of since, well, since May, when Harry Kakavas sued the Crown Casino in Melbourne for causing him to lose $30 million (Australian dollars now). Kakavas claimed Crown Casino had primed him with $30,000 in "lucky money," which turned out not to be very lucky since he lost all of the lucky money plus another $29.97 million in even less lucky money. (To be fair, they didn't say who the "lucky money" would be lucky for.)

Not sure whats worse...that it happened or that the parents now disown and blame her for it

4 boys in Ariz. accused of raping 8-year-old girlAPBy AMANDA LEE MYERS, Associated Press Writer Amanda Lee Myers, Associated Press Writer – Fri Jul 24, 6:49 am ETPHOENIX – Officers responding to a report of hysterical screams found an 8-year-old girl partially clothed and four boys, barely in their teens, running from an empty shed.The boys, ages 9 to 14, face charges ranging from sexual assault to kidnapping, police said Thursday. Authorities in Phoenix say it's one of the most horrific cases they've ever seen.Investigators said the boys lured the girl to an empty shed on July 16 under the pretense of offering her gum. The boys then held the girl down while they took turns raping her, police said."She was brutally sexually assaulted for a period of about 10 to 15 minutes," police Sgt. Andy Hill said.The 14-year-old boy was charged Wednesday as an adult with two counts of sexual assault and kidnapping, the Maricopa County Attorney's Office said. He appeared in court Thursday and was being held without bond. He does not yet have a defense lawyer.The other boys — ages 9, 10, and 13 — were charged as juveniles with sexual assault. The 10- and 13-year-old boys also were charged with kidnapping, the office said Thursday."This is a deeply disturbing case that has gripped our community," Maricopa County Attorney Andrew Thomas said. "Our office will seek justice for the young victim in this heartrending situation."The outrage over the allegations has intensified when police said the girl's parents criticized her after the attack and blamed her for bringing shame on the family."The father told the case worker and an officer in her presence that he didn't want her back. He said 'Take her, I don't want her,'" Hill said.Hill cited the family's background as the reason the family shunned the girl. All five children are refugees from the West African nation of Liberia.In some parts of Africa, women often are blamed for being raped for enticing men or simply being in the wrong place at the wrong time. Girls who are raped often are shunned by their families."It's a shame-based culture, so the crime is not as important as protecting the family name and the name of the community," said Tony Weedor, a Liberian refugee in Littleton, Colo., and co-founder of the CenterPoint International Foundation, which helps Liberians resettle in the United States."I just feel so sorry for this little girl," he said. "Some of these people will not care about the trauma she's going through — they're more concerned about the shame she brought on the family."In recent years, Liberia has made efforts to combat rape under the leadership of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, who has sought to dispel the stigma associated with sexual assault by publicly acknowledging that she was herself the victim of attempted rape during the country's civil war.The girl's healing process will be particularly difficult, said Paul Penzone of Childhelp, which aids young victims of crime. Authorities said the victim was in the care of Child Protective Services."These four boys used what was a ploy to entice her to a place where they could take advantage of her almost like a pack of wolves," he said."And what's so disturbing beyond the initial crime is the fact that a child needs to have somewhere to feel safe, and you would think that would be in a home with her own family," not in state custody, Penzone said.

I ran across these two links on the same day, and my brain hasn't felt clean since.http://www.mosnews.com/weird/2009/04/13/firtree/Note: above link features graphic medical type picture.Okay, yeah. It's a little odd, but then weird things happen in former Soviet bloc countries. It's in the realm of the believable.http://vancouver.24hrs.ca/News/national/20...7/10056231.htmlThat's the story that is so wrong, so disgusting, I keep checking the url. Surely this is some made up propaganda, right? Canada always seems nice and has socialized medical care and takes pride in being clean. Enjoy!
