Woman on flight said she had a bomb surgically implanted

(CNN) — A passenger who claimed to have a device surgically implanted inside her spurred authorities to divert a North Carolina-bound jetliner to Maine on Tuesday, federal officials said.

Doctors aboard US Airways Flight 787 examined the woman and found no sign of recent scars, according to the office of Rep. Peter King, the chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee. A federal law enforcement source who had been briefed on the matter told CNN the woman would likely receive a psychological evaluation and posed “basically no threat.”

Nevertheless, the Paris-to-Charlotte flight made an unscheduled stop in Bangor “out of an abundance of caution,” the Transportation Security Administration said. U.S. fighter jets escorted the plane to the airport, and passengers said the woman was taken off the plane in handcuffs after landing.  Full Article

Queen Elizabeth’s dirty, old undies bought for $18,000

Queen Elizabeth’s dirty, old undies will have a new home after a mystery panty raider snatched ‘em up at an Internet auction for $18k.

The knickers had been placed on eBay by the estate of the late “Baron” Joseph de Bicske Dobronyi who had claimed he came into possession of the undergarments after they were left on a private plane when the Queen visited Chile in 1968.

But after a cyber auction consisting of 18 total bids, one lucky mystery buyer emerged victorious. So far, his identity has not been revealed and we’re guessing it probably won’t be.  Full Article

Banana ketchup is popular in the Philippines

Nutty Fact – Banana ketchup or banana sauce is a popular Philippine condiment made from mashed banana, sugar, vinegar, and spices. Its natural color is brownish, so it is often dyed red to resemble tomato ketchup.

Banana ketchup was made when there was a shortage of tomato ketchup during World War II, due to lack of tomatoes and a comparatively high production of bananas.

In 1985 in St Lucia, the Caribbean, Viking Traders Ltd was the first agro processing food company to produce Banana Ketchup, a unique blend of mature bananas and spices. The company manufactures both: red and natural yellow banana ketchup which have received wide acceptance throughout the Caribbean region and rest of the world and has won several international awards.   Full Story

Grandpa robs store carrying 2-year-old grandson

MODESTO — A man with his 2-year-old grandson in tow is suspected of robbing an Orchard Supply Hardware store in east Modesto on Friday morning.

Police said the man left the store after using his vehicle to ram a forklift an alert employee used to try to trap him.

It all started about 10:30 a.m. Friday when John Guadalupe Martinez, a 65-year-old parolee, and the child entered the store at the corner of Oakdale Road and Merle Avenue, said Modesto police Lt. Jolene Gonzales.

She said an employee witnessed Martinez stealing some tools before leaving the store with the child. As Martinez got into his car, an employee parked the forklift behind the vehicle, Gonzales said. Martinez then rammed the forklift and another car parked nearby with the child unrestrained in the back seat, Gonzales said.  Full Article

University of Texas apologizes for ‘pubic affairs’

The University of Texas at Austin’s public affairs assistant dean has issued an apology after a commencement listing for the program’s forthcoming graduates contained a typo citing the Lyndon B. Johnson School of ‘Pubic’ Affairs.

Even the best writers, reporters and editors fall prey to the occasional typo. And it’s probably bad karma to revel in someone else’s unintentional mistake. But media critic Jim Romanesko reports that the LBJ school issued an apology via Twitter, reading, Our deepest apologies to our 2012 graduates for the egregious typo in our program. We are working to distribute corrected programs.”

Susan Binford, assistant dean for communications at the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs, tells Romanesko that students will be issued new copies of the commencement program.  Full Article

“I see Facebook issues breaking up marriages all the time,” says Gary Traystman, a divorce attorney in New London, Conn. Of the 15 cases he handles per year where computer history, texts and emails are admitted as evidence, 60% exclusively involve Facebook.  Full Article
