Italian priest organizes beauty contest for nuns
Sun Aug 24, 2:58 PM ET
ROME - An Italian priest and theologian said Sunday he is organizing an online beauty pageant for nuns to give them more visibility within the Catholic Church and to fight the stereotype that they are all old and dour.
The "Miss Sister 2008" contest will start in September on a blog run by the Rev. Antonio Rungi and will give nuns from around the world a chance to showcase their work and their image.
"Nuns are a bit excluded, they are a bit marginalized in ecclesiastical life," Rungi told The Associated Press after Italian media carried reports of the idea. "This will be an occasion to make their contribution more visible."
Rungi, a theologian and schoolteacher from the Naples area, said that visitors to his site will have a month to "vote for the nun they consider a model."
Nuns will fill out a profile including information about their life and vocation as well as a photograph. It will be up to them to choose whether to pose with the traditional veil or with their heads uncovered.
"We are not going to parade nuns in bathing suits," Rungi said by telephone from his town of Mondragone. "But being ugly is not a requirement for becoming a nun. External beauty is gift from God, and we mustn't hide it."
Rungi said the idea was first suggested to him by nuns with whom he regularly prays and works. He hopes there will be dozens of submissions once the Web site is started.
The contest drew criticism from the association of Catholic teachers.
"It's an initiative that belittles the role of nuns who have dedicated themselves to God," the group's president, Alberto Giannino, told Italy's ANSA news agency on Sunday.

How to Teach Your Dog to Get a Beer
Ever been too lazy to get off the couch and get a beer? Teach your dog to do it and you'll never have to change.
Steps
1.Tie a rope or a towel to the door of your fridge. If you have a tug toy that your dog likes, this would work as well.
2.With your dog next to you, open the fridge and say "Get me a Beer you Lazy Mutt" or whatever command you have chosen for this command (preferably something nicer). Encourage your dog to pull on this towel until the fridge opens. Repeat this command until they only repeat this action on your command. Don't forget to give praise and a treat when they successfully open the fridge.
3.Have your beer on the lowest shelf of the fridge so that your dog can reach it. Point to the beer can and encourage her to get it. If they don't understand then as you give the command pick up the beer and place it in mouth. Give your dog praise. Give the drop command so that she drops the can into your hand. Give praise and a treat. Repeat until your dog can pick up a beer can by only verbal commands.
4.Now try this command when you're sitting on the couch, or in another room. Don't forget to praise.
5.Enjoy your laziness.
Tips
-You can also teach your dog to close the fridge after bringing you a beer. Try the "Close" command at first, then work it into the entire command after a while.
-You can also use a similar technique to fetch a beer out of a cooler.
Warnings
-Don't drink to much! This may result in injury or bad judgment!
-NEVER drink and drive. Not only could you get fined, it could be fatal.
-Don't let your dog drink the beer.
Things You'll Need
-Well Trained Dog
-Fridge
-Time
-Lazy Tendencies

Sex with robots by 2050
An artificial intelligence expert claims we will be having sex with robots by 2050.
David Levy says by then robots will be nearly indistinguishable from real people.
In his book, Sex With Robots: The Evolution of Human-Robot relationships, he writes: "Great sex on tap for everyone, 24/7. What's not to like?"
According to Levy, the people who are most likely to benefit from these sexbots are those so ugly or isolated that they have trouble finding human romance.
He said: "They're lonely, they're miserable. I think society will be a much better place when they have an alternative that satisfies them without doing any harm to other people.
"If there was a robot of the sort I describe in the book, I would certainly want to experience using it for sex and I wouldn't regard it as anything untoward.
"I would do it out of curiosity. Not that I have a need for a new sex partner, I'm happily married."

Teens charged with microwaving cat to death
Saturday, January 5, 2008 | 7:47 AM MT
Four teenagers from the Edmonton area have been charged with breaking into a house and killing a cat in a microwave.
Police in Camrose, southeast of Edmonton, say a home was broken into twice while the owners were away for the holidays last month.
During the second break-in, a cat from the home was put into the microwave and then cooked to death, Insp. Lee Foreman said.
Four teens between the ages of 13 and 15 have been charged with several offences including breaking and entering, theft and unlawfully killing an animal. They are scheduled to appear in a Camrose court on Feb. 7.
None of the teens lives at the home or is related to the owners, Foreman said.
"I've been policing for over 25 years and I've never encountered anything quite like this," he said. "It's very disturbing. It's especially sad given the season."
A family friend who was looking after the house while the owners were gone found the dead cat in the microwave.

Christmas shocking: Girl gets porn-filled MP3 player
Family angered after 10-year-old turned on gift purchased from Wal-Mart
Posted: December 28, 2007
2:28 p.m. Eastern
A father is considering legal action against retail giant Wal-Mart after an MP3 player he purchased for his 10-year-old daughter for Christmas was found to be loaded with X-rated sex scenes, violence and explicit songs.
Daryl Hill of Cookeville, Tenn., said his daughter was thrilled with the gift until she turned it on.
"Within 10 minutes, my daughter was crying," Hill told Nashville TV station WSMV.
The player, which came from the Wal-Mart store in Sparta, Tenn., had been returned by a previous owner who loaded it with pornography, graphic war scenes and songs about drugs.
"I wish I could take the thoughts and images out of her head," Hill said.
WSMV said it was referred to Wal-Mart's corporate headquarters for comment. An e-mail from a representative said the retailer is investigating the issue.
Stores are not allowed to return opened packages to the sales floor, the representative wrote.
An angry and upset Hill said if Wal-Mart wants "to be a major retailer, they need to act like it."
The family has refused Wal-Mart's offer to replace the MP3 player.
They bought their daughter a new player and are keeping the porn-laden one until they consult a lawyer, WSMV said.
