Having a baby born on 08/08/08 would be really cool. Having your next baby on 09/09/09 would be cool, but a little strange. Having your third baby on 10/10/10 is just a bit strange.

Well that's exactly what happened to Chad and Barbie Soper, whose daughter Chloe was born August 8,2008, followed by son Cameron on September 9,2009 and now their daughter Cearra bor October 10,2010.

"I thought it was neat numbers, something fun for the kids on their driver’s license – oh, your birthday has rhyming numbers," Barbara told the Today Show. "When the third one came around and it did end up on 10/10/10, I was surprised and I was happy because then the little one wouldn’t be left out."

All three kids were born by c-section, leading some people to believe that this was some sort of weird plan by the family. But Barbara's doctor insists that's not the case.

"The initial plan was to wait until later as we did with the 2nd. But Barbie developed some vascular complications that required that we deliver earlier. That weekend became it." he said.

Shocking footage has emerged showing a Paraguayan police officer violently attacking a handcuffed 13-year-old boy.

The policeman is seen punching and kicking the boy in the corner of a squalid police cell.

First the officer punches him in the stomach and head.

Then he puts a bucket on his head to and proceeds to kick him several times around the body.

The boy, who had been picked up on a petty theft charge, appears to be in agony and shock after the assault.

Paraguay's interior minister Rafael Filizzola said the incident was being investigated.

"We want that the investigation is not limited to this person that has been identified here," he said.

"The responsibility of his superiors will also be evaluated."

Authorities are due to take a statement from the officer involved in the leaked police camera footage.

Mario fans out there will be drooling as Nintendo will be releasing a bright red version of its Wii gaming console in conjunction with the plumber's 25th birthday. The bundle will include the Wii, along with the new Wii Remote Plus peripheral that combines the functionality of a Wiimote with the MotionPlus add-on (which will be going on sale individually when this bundle is released). Expect to pay 20,000 Yen ($240) for this when it's released in Japan on November 11th. Aside from the fancy console, there will be a special edition of Super Mario Bros. pre-installed on the system, a version which will have the game's trademark gold coin bricks modified to indicate "25" on the front. We probably won't see this stateside anytime soon, but if you're planning on going to Japan, perhaps you'd want to keep an eye out for this.

The Photo Below might be one of the greatest Golf Photos to be ever captured, even though it was a bad play by Tiger Woods, it made a great photo. Check out the photo and see if you can spot a guy with a turban and a funny looking moustache.


This photo from Saturday during Ryder Cup play is interesting for 4 Reasons:
1) Pay attention. The photographer's name is Mark Pain.

2) It immediately plants that "holy bleep I'm going to die because that golf ball has my name on it and I don't mean Nike One Tour" notion in your head.

3) Photoshop photoplay was spawned across the internets, thanks to No. 4. (Caution: last photo in the Pickle's link is NSFW.)

4) There's Cigar Guy. Upper right corner.

The shot, both Tiger's and Pain's, came on Woods' final hole. The photographer, who was snapping pics just where he was supposed to be, was unhurt.

Now the following photos have been photoshopped as the guy in the turban, now known on the internet as "Cigar Guy", "Cigar Dude", "Cigar Man", is becoming a viral sensation. The original photo was such an amazing photo, but everyone has taken notice of the strange looking man in the turban LOL check out the pics below:

I don't know who's crazier, the group that claims being buried alive for 20 minutes will cure you of stress and depression, or the people lining up to try it.

This extreme form of therapy is being practiced in Russia by Enlightenment Territory. Willing participants pay $160.00 for the opportunity to literally take a dirt nap.

"The first thing you experience is panic. Once your face is covered with earth, you start tasting it and thinking, 'what the hell am I doing down here?' But once you calm down there's simply no other place like this," says one "death" trainer.

As I watched this video, the one thing I didn't see was any proof that the people who run Enlightenment Territory, have any formal training as a doctor, or psychotherapist. Are they equipped to resuscitate a person if their heart stops while underground, breathing only through a garden hose?

I didn't see one defibrillator or oxygen tank anywhere around.

Maybe all of that is in the fine print of the contract you sign before allowing this to happen, if there is a contract.

"Panic conditions can be subconscious, uncontrollable. There are different ways to overcome them," says ET Director Andrey Gorbov. "Working with mental images,rhythm, breathing. There is an array of means for a person to subdue their fear. We teach them that,"

Gorbov also recommends you not try this at home because it could be dangerous, if the dirt is not distributed properly along the body.

The maximum burial time is 40 minutes, beyond that the mind struggles to cope with the lack of function. The maximum burial depth is one foot.

This all sounds entirely insane to me and I damn sure wouldn't try it.

Houston rapper Tow Down was doing it really big until a snitch helped poilce bring him down.

Tow Down, real name Bryan Theriot and his brother/manager Bernard were arrested yesterday (October 1), by police at Bernard's Missouri City crib.

The raid yielded 850 Hydro plants, weighing 5000 pounds, worth an estimated $4.2 million dollars.

"Water pumps, timers, artificial lighting equipment. The entire second story of the house had been professionally constructed by plumbers and electricians," said Fort Bend County Narcotics Task Force Capt. Rodney Glendening.

Cops were alerted to the brother's weed growing operation by dealers they busted several months earlier.

"We started at the street level and worked our way up," Glendening said. "We consider this a professional grow. This is a 5,000-square-foot home. There were six rooms full of marijuana."

In addition to the high grade pot, po po's also found cocaine and hydrocodone.

Tow Down is probably best known for his song "Country Rap Tune", recorded with late rapper H.A.W.K.

This is the second time the rapper has been busted for growing weed. In 2008, the brothers were arrested for a much smaller growing operation.

They were out on bond at the time of this latest arrest.
