Crazy World: Man gets $45k to let out name

Published

FLORIDA: We have heard of people sell space on their shaved and bald heads and even cheeks to advertisers, but this one takes the cake.

A 30-year-old man in the US has decided to change his name for a year to whatever name the highest bidder wants in an online auction in exchange for $45,500, according to a media report.

The man from Florida will soon change his identity legally from Jason Sadler to Jason HeadsetsDotCom on January 1 after the website won the bidding race on December 12.

Sadler runs his own website called buymylastname.com. He wrote on his site after the bidding process was over that he "will now become a walking, talking billboard" for the firm.

Saler plans to donate 10 per cent of his earnings to a charity of his choice.
 
69-year-old fires at hubby for reading explicit book

NEVADA: A wife fired bullets at her husband for reading pornographic literature.

The incident occurred when the 69-year-old woman was upset over something that her husband of seven years told her and being slightly drunk at that time, she reacted by picking up her .30-30 rifle but the faulty lever action prevented her from using it, reports news service ANI in Mid-Day.

She then took hold of her hand gun and aimed at her husband who escaped unhurt when the bullet went astray and did not hit the target.

The husband escaped to a gas station and called the police. The woman is being charged for attempted murder and domestic battery.
 
Man plots own arrest to escape nagging wife

TAIWAN: A 36-year-old restaurant owner was so desperate to get rid of his wife that he decided to get arrested. And since he was no pro at it, he entered a convenience store in Taichung city, Taiwan and showted to all those present inside: "I am here to rob. Call the police!"

When no one moved to do his bidding, he insisted that he was there to actually rob them, according to media reports.

Then he bought a pack of cigarettes and started smoking as he waited outside the store for the police to arrive and arrest him.

When the police officials learnt that he had no intention of robbing the store, alas! they let him off.
 
Cruel dad made wife sit on floor, starve and do sit-ups

AUSTRALIA: A man punished his wife of nine years by making her do 100 sit-ups, force her not to use furniture and site on the floor and starve her for days and not allow her to eat dinner.

The 37-year-old man managed to isolate his wife from her family and friends and was fanatic about hygiene and wanted a spotless home. He didn't lift a finger and made his wife do all the jobs, reports News.com.au.

The couple have two kids and the wife used to look after them and do all the jobs even when she was nursing a fractured arm (inflicted by her husband).

He would often starve her for days and only allow her to eat some dry pieces of bread and water.

The wife could not take it any more when one day the husband asked her to get back home and clean the stove and she refused. He told her not to bother to return home.

The man is said to suffer from depression and anxiety. He wants to have full custody of their kids but the court has termed him unfit to handle that responsibility.
