Man swallows $14,000 diamond at Sri Lanka gem show

A Chinese man arrested for attempted theft after swallowing a diamond worth nearly $14,000 at a gem exhibition in Sri Lanka Wednesday will have to undergo surgery to remove the stone, police said.

The 32-year-old had asked the stall owner for a close inspection of the 1.5-carat diamond on the opening day of Facets Sri Lanka, an annual jewellery show in the capital Colombo.

"He came with another Chinese man. One of them tried to distract me while the other had a diamond in his hand," Suresh de Silva, director of the Belgrade International gem store, told AFP.

"When I realised what was happening and shouted, one ran away and we managed to catch the man who swallowed the stone."

'Diamond swallower' was a ruse: Sri Lanka police

A Chinese man accused of swallowing a diamond worth $13,600 at a gem show in Sri Lanka actually ingested a fake stone, in an elaborate bluff, to allow the real thief to escape, police said Tuesday.

Detectives discovered the ruse after waiting until the man, 32, passed the fake stone that he had swallowed at the Facets Sri Lanka annual jewellery exhibition in Colombo last week.

"The man with the real stone vanished while all the attention was on the man who was seen swallowing a stone that turned out to be fake," police spokesman Ajith Rohana told AFP.

H.K. tycoon offers fortune to marry off gay daughter

A Hong Kong tycoon has offered a $65 million "marriage bounty" to any man, who can win the heart of his lesbian daughter, a report said Wednesday.

Cecil Chao announced the financial reward of HK$500 million after his daughter, Gigi, married her same-sex partner of seven years in France earlier this year, the South China Morning Post reported.

"I don't mind whether he is rich or poor. The important thing is that he is generous and kind hearted," 76-year-old Chao was quoted as saying.

"Gigi is a very good woman with both talents and looks. She is devoted to her parents, is generous and does volunteer work," he added.

He also rejected "false reports" that Gigi, 33, had married abroad, saying she was still single.

Chao, who owns publicly-listed property developer Cheuk Nang, could not be reached for comment.

Same-sex marriages are not recognised in Hong Kong, a socially conservative Chinese city where homosexuality was decriminalised in 1991.

Chao is well known in Hong Kong's social circles and regularly appears at public events with his latest young girlfriend.

He reportedly once claimed to have had intimate relations with 10,000 women.

US man dies after cockroach-eating contest

A US man died after winning a cockroach and worm eating contest at a Florida reptile house over the weekend, police said.

Edward Archbold, 32, had eaten several dozen roaches and worms Friday as part of the contest to win an exotic python.

He later began vomiting and was picked up by an ambulance in front of the shop, the Broward County Sheriff's Office said in a statement.

Archbold was later pronounced dead at a hospital, and the medical examiner's office will be performing an autopsy to determine the cause of death.

Restaurant removes urinals shaped like woman's mouth

A sumptuous new French restaurant in Sydney said Wednesday it would remove two urinals designed to resemble a woman's lipsticked mouth, apologising for any offence they have caused.

The Ananas Bar and Brasserie said the bright red-lipped urinals shaped like an open mouth were "a commonly used European design piece from female Dutch artist Meike van Schijndel".

"We sincerely apologise if they have caused offence. They are being removed today," a spokeswoman said in a statement.

US mom gets 99 yrs for gluing kid's hands to wall

A Texas judge has sentenced a mother who superglued her toddler's hands to a wall to 99 years in prison, local media reported.

During the September 2011 assault on her two-year-old daughter, Elizabeth Escalona also beat the girl into a coma, according to The Dallas Morning News.

The 23-year-old mother of five had pleaded guilty in July to felony injury to a child.

"I hit her, I kicked her constantly, and she didn't deserve that," the newspaper's crime blog quoted Escalona as saying in court last week. "Only a monster does that."

According to the blog, the abuse -- which resulted in bleeding of the girl's brain -- appeared to be over potty training.

Before handing down the sentence, Judge Larry Mitchell said Escalona needed to be punished for savagely beating her child "to the edge of death."

The daughter survived and, according to testimony referenced by the blog, is doing well.

The Los Angeles Times website quoted Debbie Denmon, spokeswoman for the Dallas County district attorney's office, as saying Escalona "wasn't sorry for what she did. She was sorry for herself, not the child she tortured."

Escalona will have to serve 30 years before she becomes eligible for parole, Denmon told The Times.

Prosecutors up in the air over passenger's upskirt camera shot

A "peeping Tom" who used a pen-shaped camera to take an upskirt shot of a cabin attendant during a domestic flight in Japan has avoided charges after prosecutors failed to decide which prefecture the plane was flying over at the time.

The 34-year-old man extended his hand with the micro- camera while seated and took the picture of the flight attendant, the Asahi daily said.
He was arrested by police and admitted the offense, saying he was "aroused by uniforms." The man was on a Japan Airlines flight from Takamatsu in the southwest to Tokyo last month.

Prosecutors were unable to pinpoint the prefecture the plane was flying over.

"Peeping Tom" offenses fall under prefecture law and prosecutors need to state the exact location of a crime.

1. Always wait for the setup. NO SETUP; NO TRADE

2. The trend will END but I don't know WHEN.
