Top 5-Town called ‘End of the World’ has signs stolen
Locals at a settlement in Poland named End of the World are probably hoping it does all finish after continually having their signposts stolen by apocalypse believers. Residents of Koniec Swiata have accused outsiders, who believe the Mayan prophecy, of taking the
signage and making their daily lives difficult. ‘Our name means literally End Of The World, so once the doomsday hunters found this out they wouldn’t leave us alone,’ said 50-year-old local Roman Adamus. ‘We’ve lost six of them this year so enough is enough and they’re coming down.’

Irritated neighbour Marianna Warszawska added the people that were pinching the signs were causing a lot of problems. ‘I’ve lived here all my life and these people are a bloody nightmare,’ the 85-year-old said. ‘Hopefully they’ll leave us alone when the world doesn’t end.’ The Mayan calendar predicted the world would expire on December 21 (that’s today).
Top 4-Woman attacked with sock full of poop
Talk about a crappy train ride. A woman was attacked with a sock filled with feces on Chicago transit last week. The 21-year-old told the Pioneer Press the man boarded the train at the same time she did, and attacked her at the next stop. "He had a sock full of his poop on me," she told the paper. "It was everywhere -- on my face, my hair, my clothes." Her attacker got off the train and ran, she said. Police searched for him nearby but couldn't locate him. The Chicago Transit Authority has given cops images of a "person of interest" from its high-definition security cameras. The woman said it would've been less degrading if she'd just been hit. "The worst part is nobody had anything to wipe my face with," she said in the report. She found some newspapers before paramedics arrived with towels and water. The woman said her attacker didn't utter a word and she has no clue why she was picked.

Top 2-Deadly snakes hatch in toddler's closet
Snake experts say a three-year-old Australian boy could have easily been killed after the eggs he found and stashed in his bedroom closet hatched seven of the world's most venomous snakes. Kyle Cumming found a clutch of eggs in his family's yard near the city of Townsville a few weeks ago and put them in a takeout food container in his closet, the Townsville Bulletin reported. His mother found the container Monday and realized it was full of eastern brown snakes, the second most deadly land snakes in the world. "I was pretty shocked, particularly because I don't like snakes," the boy's mother Donna Sim told the newspaper. Baby snakes are known to be just as venomous as adults. "It was incredibly lucky the mother snake was not still around when Kyle collected the eggs," reptile expert Kieran Aland told the Bulletin. Sims took the snakes to a wildlife sanctuary where officials released them back into the wild.
Top 1-Three-time Olympian became a $600/hour prostitute-Why this happen (video)
Suzy Favor Hamilton was a top American middle-distance runner from the early 1990s to 2000, a three-time Olympian after becoming a nine-time N.C.A.A. champion at Wisconsin. She was so accomplished that the Big Ten Conference named the award given to its female athlete of the year in her honor. So it came as a shock Thursday when Favor Hamilton, 44, told the Web site The Smoking Gun that for the past year, her life as a real estate agent, mother and motivational speaker had also included work as a $600-an-hour prostitute for an escort service in Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Chicago and other cities. She called the behavior "a huge mistake.
The disclosure, while startling, followed admissions by Favor Hamilton in recent years that her stellar running career and her personal life had sometimes been troubled. Since retiring, Favor Hamilton has said she felt enormous pressure as an athlete, not only to win but to be perfect.
And she has said that she struggled with family tragedy, self-doubt and an eating disorder while trying to succeed in a sport that gains significant attention once every four years during the Summer Olympics, where winners are celebrated, usually briefly, and where losers are quickly forgotten after putting enormous effort into one moment. At the 2000 Sydney Games, Favor Hamilton later said, she fell on purpose in the homestretch of the 1,500 meters when she realized she could not win the gold medal. She told The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel last summer that she had developed postpartum depression after the birth of her daughter, now 7, and was taking Zoloft, an antidepressant. Still, she seemed upbeat in the interview, saying, "I feel better than I've ever felt." On Thursday, though, Favor Hamilton made one more personal revelation about a secret life. In postings on Twitter, Favor Hamilton wrote that she began "escorting" because it provided "coping mechanisms" and "escape" from a life in which she continued to feel depressed and struggled with her marriage. "I realize I have made highly irrational choices and I take full responsibility for them," Favor Hamilton wrote. "I am not a victim here and knew what I was doing." She added: "I do not expect people to understand, but the reasons for doing this made sense to me at the time and were very much related to depression. As crazy as I know it seems, I never thought I would be exposed, therefore never hurting anybody.
