Pekanbaru one of the cities in Indonesia, has officially banned the celebration of Valentine’s Day among school students through a circular issued by the local education office. "The ban on celebrating valentine’s day is official and a letter informing all schools in the city has been circulated," Yuzamri Yakub, head of Pekanbaru city’s education office, said on Monday.
The circular marked the first time for Pekanabaru to ban the celebration and it was intended to make students aware that love towards one’s neighbors should be shown at all times, not just on a particular day, he said. Information on the ban had been conveyed not only to teachers and students at junior and senior high schools but also at institutes of higher learning in the city, Yuzamri said.
"The ban is also meant to prevent extra-marital sex among young people as valentine’s day is identical with all sorts of things that deviate from religious norms," he said.

The Incredible Cat-eye Boy Who Can 'See in The Dark'
A young Chinese boy who was born with brilliant blue eyes - like those of a Siamese cat - claims to have the ability to see in pitch darkness. Nong Yousui from Dahua has eyes which, it is claimed, reflect neon green when when a light is shined on them.
Nong who enjoys playing outside with his schoolmates but struggles with in bright sunlight, claims he can see perfectly clearly even in complete darkness.
His father said: 'Two weeks after he was born I was told his eyes were different.
To test his abilities, a Chinese journalist recently prepared a set of questionnaires which he was able to finish in a pitch black room. Video footage of the youngster, whose current age has not been revealed, first emerged in 2009, but has only recently been picked up online.

The World's Tallest Transsexual
A 7ft tall butch basketball star is undergoing a sex change - and will become the world's tallest transsexual. Lofty American Greg Walker, now 25, grew up sports-mad with beautiful cheerleaders on his arm, but said he 'always felt different'.
Strapping teenager Greg - who has size 16 feet and weighs around 20 stone - regularly lifted weights and would ride motorbikes to mask his true feelings. He had dozens of girls chasing him but shunned their advances, preferring to become friends instead and discuss fashion and 'girly' things.
In his early 20s, Greg - now Lindsey - was unable to continue the 'charade' and began wearing women's clothes. He then sought medical advice and began taking oestrogen to become more feminine and now boasts a curvy woman's body - and a 38B bra size.
Now legally recognised as female after living as a woman for two years, Lindsey said: 'I was one of the popular kids in high school.

Woman Has Two Vaginas
Hazel Jones always wondered why she suffered from terrible cramps and heavy periods during puberty. But it wasn't until she turned 18 that she was given her astonishing diagnosis - she had two vaginas.
The blonde 27-year-old from High Wycombe has the million-in-one condition uterus didelphys, which means she has two separate uteruses and cervixes as well.
But she told ITV's This Morning she was comfortable with having the condition, despite the fact she had to effectively lose her virginity twice.
'Once I found out what it was I told everybody,' she told TV hosts Holly Willoughby and Phillip Schofield. 'I thought it was amazing and it's definitely an ice-breaker at parties'

Woman finds wedding ring after 16 years, on a carrot
A Swedish woman who lost her wedding ring 16 years ago was flabbergasted when she found it again, around a carrot growing in her garden, media reported Saturday.
Lena Paahlsson had taken off the white gold ring before a Christmas baking session with her daughters in 1995, but it had disappeared from the kitchen counter where she placed it.
After looking everywhere, and even pulling up floorboards in the search, Paahlsson and her family, who live on a farm in northern Sweden, had given up on seeing the ring again, she told the Dagens Nyheter daily.

Couple Caught Having Sex at Top of A Waterslide
They were caught on CCTV as the girl straddled her boyfriend before they hurtled down the shute in Opoczno, Poland. But within moments of joining the 'waterslide-high club', they were escorted straight to the park exit - without even being allowed to retrieve their clothes.
'They were at it for a good five minutes before anyone realised what was going on in what must have been a breach of the water park rules,' one lifeguard said.
A pool spokesman added: 'This is a family pool and water park and we want everyone to have fun, but not that sort of fun.' At Alton Towers, the wearing of Speedos is banned at its Splash Landing resorts to 'maintain the family friendly atmosphere'.

The Monkey from Bali Made Her A Global Star
A student has been left feeling a little red-faced after an embarrassing incident with a monkey made her a global star. Charmian Chen, who just happens to be a model, was visiting the Sacred Monkey Forest Ubud in Bali last month when two of the primates decided she was a little overdressed.
The 22-year-old student, from Taiwan, was on holiday on the tropical Indonesian island feeding long-tailed macaques when she was singled out. The two macaques apparently spotted a piece of corn that had fallen down Ms Chen's top and decided they wanted it back. Despite her valiant effors to fend it off, one monkey managed to pull down her top leaving the red-faced model to cover herself as best she could, with her hands.
But what should have been an amusing holiday wardrobe malfunction has ended up catapulting Ms Chen to internet superstardom. Pictures of the incident have made headline news in her native Taiwan, with TV stations asking her to appear and talk about it.
The images have also spread around the globe, appearing on blog sites and forums in the U.S. and Britain. She said: 'I was on holiday and at first the pictures were just funny, but when I got back to Taiwan I had all these people trying to add me as friends on Facebook.

Anger over Indonesia Airline's Job Breast Checks
Would-be flight attendants in South Korea have accused Indonesia’s national airline of making them strip nearly naked and have their breasts handled in medical check-ups, provoking a storm of criticism.
Several dozen candidates for 18 highly-coveted female flight attendant positions with Garuda Indonesia were required to strip down to their panties to screen out those with tattoos or breast implants, one applicant told AFP. She declined to be named, saying she was still waiting to hear whether she had got a job after the tests last month.
“The hand examination on breast was held since those with implants can have health issues when air pressure falls during flights,” Yonhap news agency quoted an airline official as saying.

Evidence That Earth Has been Visited by Aliens?
A mysterious circle on a grainy scan, this is what scientists are claiming is finally evidence that Earth has been visited by aliens. Researchers have claimed the fuzzy outline is a flying saucer that ended up 300ft down on the ocean floor between Sweden and Finland.
They were stunned when sonar scans taken while searching for a century-old wreck showed up the shape against the dirt. The ocean exploration team which found it claims that the earth around the craft has been scarred, suggesting it has tried to move around.
Lead researcher Peter Lindberg also suggested that another explanation could be that it was 'a new Stonehenge'. The 'discovery' has sparked a flurry of speculation by UFO watchers and bloggers.

Man Shoots Himself in The Penis
A suburban Phoenix man is recovering after accidentally shooting himself in the penis while putting his fiancee's pink gun in the waistband of his pants.
Chandler police say 27-year-old Joshua Seto and his fiancee Cara Christopher were walking toward a grocery store when the shooting happened last week. The gun fired, striking Mr Seto's penis and continuing through his left thigh.
Ms Christopher, 26, who called 911, can be heard telling a dispatcher 'He's still conscious, there is just a lot of blood,' in tapes released by MyFoxPhoenix. The operator told Ms Christopher to apply direct pressure to the wound with a dry towel or T-shirt and avoid looking at it.
Ms Christopher, sounding surprisingly calm, said: 'I did look at it. It's pretty bad.'

Demi Anak Lelaki, Kailash Tak Mandi 37 Tahun
Demi mendapatkan anak laki-laki, Kailash Singh menolak mandi selama 37 tahun terakhir. Asal tahu saja, kini dia sudah memiliki tujuh anak dan semuanya perempuan.
Kailash Singh tidak mandi sejak dia menikah pada tahun 1974. Rambutnya pun sudah gimbal karena tidak pernah dipotong dan dikeramasi.
Kailash Singh tidak memedulikan omongan tetangga. Yang dia dengar adalah ajaran guru agamanya yang mengatakan dia akan mendapat anak lelaki yang akan menjadi pewarisnya jika dia tidak mandi.

A Car Sized Mega-Wombat
The fossil of a car sized mega-wombat has been unearthed in northern Australia, scientists said Wednesday -- the most complete skeleton of its kind.
Weighing in at a whopping three tonnes, the herbivorous diprotodon was the largest marsupial to ever roam the earth and lived between two million and 50,000 years ago.
A relative of the modern-day wombat, the diprotodon skeleton was dug up in remote Queensland last week -- the most northerly specimen ever discovered -- and scientists believe it could shed valuable light on the species' demise.

Private eye tells homeless man of inheritance
A private investigator says he has tracked down a homeless Utah man and delivered some good news: He's inherited a lot of money. David Lundberg said he found Max Melitzer pushing a shopping cart filled with personal possessions in a Salt Lake City park Saturday afternoon.
Lundberg declined to disclose how much money Melitzer will be receiving, but said the man's brother who died of cancer last year left him a "significant" amount in his will.
"He'll no longer be living on the street or in abandoned storage sheds," he told The Associated Press. "He'll be able to have a normal life, and be able to have a home, provide for himself, and purchase clothing, food and health care."
The story about Lundberg's two-month search for Lundberg has been reported by the Deseret News and KSL of Salt Lake City.
