ISLAMIST militants in Nigeria have shot dead 40 students as they lay sleeping in their college dormitory.

Eight of the strangest prison rules in the world

Generic prisoner.

PETER Severin, the man in charge of NSW prisons, wants inmates to be banned from smoking in the state’s jails.

The Corrective Services Commissioner says smoking is harming the health of both the prisoners themselves and jail staff.
Mr Severin’s push to ban cigarettes may seem controversial, but it’s actually pretty dull compared to some of the harsh rules in other prisons around the world, especially those in Maricopa County, Arizona where inmates are ruled by the iron fist of controversial Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
Here is a selection of his rules, as well as some of the bizarre things going on in other world prisons.

Children seeking treatment for drug addiction

Drug package

CHILDREN as young as 12 are seeking treatment for addiction to the methamphetamine ‘ice’, a state parliamentary inquiry has been told.

Director of clinical services at Uniting Care’s Re-Gen drug treatment agency, Donna Ribton-Turner, said the program had treated teenagers and children, including more than one 12-year-old.
Five years ago, just five per cent of people in the Re-Gen treatment programs were admitted for ice use.

SOMETIMES words just aren’t enough.
That was the case for the video producer Marina Shifrin, who quit her job in a hilarious “interpretative dance” video set to a Kanye West song.
Ms Shifrin, who worked for an animation company, snuck into her office at 4:30am to set up cameras before dancing her way around the place and overlaying a message on screen.
“For almost two years I’ve sacrificed my relationships, time and energy for this job and my boss only cares about quantity and how many views each video gets,” she wrote.
“So I figured I’d make ONE video of my own ...
“Oh and to let my boss know I QUIT”

Mystery Diana tapes reportedly offer advice to Kate Middleton

US magazine The Globe claims the tapes were made by Diana for her son because she feared for her life, a close friend said.

APES reportedly made by Princess Diana for William just months before her death reportedly urged him and his future wife to cherish their children and warned marriage in the public eye was hard.

Lana Marks, who designed handbags for Princess Diana, had the content read to her and said it sounded similar to what the pair had discussed about her future hopes for William.
“I knew Diana very well during the last 18 months of her life. Diana discussed with me in great detail what she wanted for William in terms of a wife, children — what she wanted for his future,” the Daily Mail reported.
“When I hear the contents of the tape, they echo what she discussed with me in great detail. It is uncanny.”
The Princess also reportedly advised her future daughter-in-law that public life was tough and it was vital she worked on her marriage to survive the pressure.
According to The Globe, Diana thought her son’s future bride would be beautiful, smart and independent.
Ms Marks said Diana even predicted her oldest son would marry someone with dark hair.
Kensington Palace has so far declined to comment on the existence of the tapes.

Top 5 ‘germiest’ tourist attractions in the world

The Blareny Stone is the world’s most unhygienic tourist attraction.         

    

WE’VE heard of ‘roughing it’, but these popular tourist attractions make us want to reach for the hand sanitiser, stat.

If you’re not one to get your hands dirty while on vacation, you might want to steer clear of these top five ‘germiest’ attractions, as polled by TripAdvisor.

1. Blarney Stone, Blarney Castle, Ireland: Local legend has it that visitors who bend over backwards to kiss the stone built into Blarney Castle are rewarded with eloquent speech. But, given that more than 400,000 people pucker up to the stone each year, we’re guessing you’d end up with a little more than just the ‘gift of the gab’.

2. Gum Wall, Seattle, Washington: People have been sticking their unwanted chewing gum to a wall outside Seattle’s Market Theatre since 1990. It all started as a last-ditch effort by theatregoers to get rid of their gum while waiting in line. Today, it’s a 50ft-long wall covered from floor to ceiling in brightly coloured, sweetly smelling chewie.
