Nasty Nappies

When Jill Furlough went to check on her sleeping
11-month-old baby Joshua, she was horrified to see green
sparks flying out of his diaper. ``I had no idea what was
happening and thought he was going to burst into flames,''
Furlough, 31, was quoted as saying by the Express newspaper.
``It was extremely scary and worrying. Joshua seemed to be
asleep, oblivious.'' The mother of three, who lives in
Lakenheath in eastern England, contacted the diaper makers
and was assured it was a small and harmless matter of
triboluminescence -- a rare build-up of energy that could be
caused by friction, but unlike static electricity did not
generate heat. Despite the reassurance, Furlough has decided
to switch to another brand of diaper.

JAKARTA, Indonesia -- A 31-year old Indonesian man, arrested
last week on cannibal-related charges, has admitted to
police to eating at least three people, Indonesian media
reports say.

The suspect, named as Sumanto, told police he ate the bodies
for supernatural purposes, and had aimed to eat at least
seven humans in a quest for special powers and to ensure a
"peaceful soul", the Jakarta Post reported on Monday.

Sumanto was apprehended last week for allegedly digging up
and eating the body of an 80-year-old woman.

He told police in Purbalingga in Central Java province, 310
kilometers southeast of Jakarta, he had previously killed
and eaten two men who had attempted to rob him.

As well as consuming their flesh, the cannibal suspect said
he cut off the penis of one of the men, dried it and used it
as an amulet.

Police fear at least three other people who went missing in
Purbalingga may have fallen victim to Sumanto's taste for
human flesh, the Jakarta Post reported.

Despite Islam and Hinduism being the dominant religions
across the Indonesian archipelago, elements of mysticism and
animism are still prevalent in parts of Javanese society.

wintergreen lifesavers can also generate triboluminescence.
if you crunch down hard onto one, you can see little sparks
shoot out. you'll probably only see if you're in a totally
dark room (with a mirror, of course), though.
