Smoking lettuces, The spycam in the cupboard, faith-healing and what is wrong with this Mosnews...

There's nothing much happening around here- just back from office, and here I am, typing away oddities-

Two inmates at the Chatham County jail in coastal Georgia got burned by their own smoking habit when they started a fire trying to light a handmade cigarette with a spark from an electrical socket.

..."Some of these guys have serious habits and cravings," Robinson said. "They try to smoke a lot of things ... lettuce, collard greens, turnip greens, whatever was served to them at lunch that day."
-Yahoo! News

Hmm... Can't they indulge their craving allow the smoking of a lettuce or two once a week or something like that?

And this Oh, he is one man with a dirty mind:

A South Korean man says he secretly installed a spy camera in a female teacher's bedroom "out of curiosity," police say.

The man, identified only as Oh, told police he put the camera in the closet of the teacher's Cheongju home "out of curiosity about a woman's private life," The Korea Times reported Wednesday.
-UPI

Quoting this news,

Carl and Raylene Worthington told detectives that they never considered calling a doctor, even as their 15-month-old daughter deteriorated and died.

“I don’t believe in them,” Carl Worthington said of doctors. “I believe in faith healing.”

Raylene Worthington said that her religious beliefs do not encompass medical care and that she would not have done anything different for her – daughter, who died at home of pneumonia, a blood infection and other complications.-

John Sinteur at The daily irrelevant asks,

Oddly enough, they do believe in lawyers, as they’ve got one defending them. What makes these people reject one type of professionals and not another? Why get a lawyer when he could have just prayed for an acquittal?

This is a real case of oddness for which there can be no answer.

And at last, MosNews!

Residents of the Eastern Ukrainian city of Donetsk are having their sewer service disconnected due to nonpayment of their water bill, RIA Novosti reports. Two hundred apartments have been shut off so far.

Engineers at the local water and sewer company, Donetskgorvodokanal, have developed a mechanism they are calling a “cockroach” that blocks an apartment’s access to the main sewer line. The device can be installed without entering the debtors’ homes.

I hope you were thoroughly disappointed. Serves you right!
