Strangest Photos and Stories in 2006
Now is 2007, but some strange and good memories in 2006 cannot be left out just like that. Here are something interesting that I have in my mail box on New Year day.
Cellular telephones were found inside four prisoners in El Salvador’s maximum-security prison, authorities said Wednesday. The discovery was made Tuesday at the prison in Zacatecoluca, in central El Salvador, after suspicious officials took X-rays of each of the inmates, federal corrections chief Jaime Villanova said. The names of the prisoners, all members of the dangerous Mara Salvatrucha gang, were not released in order to avoid jeopardizing an ongoing investigation that began a month ago, he said. Capt. Juan Ramon Arevalo, director of the prison known as Zacatras, said the gang members had introduced the cell phones, wrapped in plastic bags, into their bodies through their anuses. Authorities also found nine cell phone chips and one charger.
It might sound like a chocoholic’s dream, but stepping into a vat of chocolate became a two-hour nightmare for a 21-year-old man. The man, an employee of a Kenosha company that supplies chocolate ingredients, told police he got into the tank at Debelis Corp. to unplug it and became trapped waist-deep in the chocolate. “It was pretty thick. It was virtually like quicksand,” said Police Capt. Randy Berner. Co-workers, police and firefighters tried to free the man but couldn’t get him loose until the chocolate was thinned out. Berner said the worker was taken to a hospital for treatment of minor injuries.
