       Will Facebook's wonders never cease?!

In Aydın, Coşkun C. was caught with 6 tons (!) of pork that
he had butchered illegally.  He was released pending trial. Çoşkun
C. then posted a notice on his Facebook page, threatening the
release the names of the butchers and restaurants that bought pork
from him.

Coşkun C.'s post: "Those butchers, restaurant owners and
shopkeepers who follow me and my postings should get in touch
with me by tomorrow evening at 1700.  I won't spare anyone.
I will announce the names - in capital letters - of those who have
pleaded with me to sell them pork. I have no choice but to share
my plight with you.  I'm sorry but I'm going to make some lucky
person pay for my breakfast and rakı expenses. You know who
you are. Anyone who even bought only 5 kilograms from me will
pay the price."

Looking quite a bit fitter than the average scarecrow. 

In Eskişehir, a farmer whose crops have been beseiged by bears,
pigs, jackals and birds is using a store-window manikin as a
scarecrow.  Farmer Mehmet Emin Ünal (68), of Mihalgazi district,
says that drivers are startled to see the manikin.  Wild animals
coming down from the nearby mountains have caused serious
damage to his crops.


               Manikin's inspiration.



                 Master manikin creator.

While shopping in Eskişehir city, Ünal noticed that a store was
closing down so "I bought the manikins from the owner and put
them in various fields. After that the incidents of animal damage
decreased markedly. They think there's a person in the field."


Mihalgazi district is in northwestern Eskişehir province.

Perhaps predictably, Stephan's a Chicago Bears fan.

A couple in Russia have been living with a domesticated bear
for 23 years. Svetlana and Yuriy Panteleenko adopted 'Stephan'
at age three months.  Now 23 and weighing in at 136 kilograms
(about 300 lbs.), Stephan is treated like the couple's child.  At
2.1 meters in height, the bear watches TV with the Panteleenko's,
his favorate being football matches. It takes an average of 25
kilograms of fresh fish, vegetables and eggs to feed Stephan
each day.


    Genuine bear hug.
