A PRISON inmate with a false leg
has been accused of using the
prosthesis to smuggle contraband.
The 42-year-old man is a longterm
prisoner in Alexandria,
Louisiana, with the scam
discovered during a routine check
of inmates returning to the penal
institution after a work detail.
Correctional officers said they
found bags of tobacco, ten
cigarettes and four Soma muscle
relaxant pills in the fake limb.
AUTHORITIES in Russia are
considering the frightening move
of doubling the price of vodka.
The increase would be phased
in over the next three years, with
the added tax impost aiming to
help government revenues as well
as fight alcohol abuse.
The average Russian drinks 18
litres of pure alcohol a year, with
the widely opposed vodka
proposal following the recent
introduction of new taxes on beer.
“Vodka should not be cheap; it
is not a product of first necessity,”
said deputy minister Sergei
Shatalov.
RESEARCHERS tracking big cats
in the wilds of Guatemala are
using a secret weapon - Calvin
Klein’s Obsession for Men.
Biologists Jose Moreira and
Rony Garcia are part of the
Jaguar Conservation Program run
by the Wildlife Conservation
Society, and are aiming to record
and track the locations of jaguars
in the Maya Biosphere Reserve.
“The method we are using to
study the jaguars here in
Guatemala is an invasive method
which is based on photographing
the individuals by using camera
traps,” Moreira said.
“It has been very useful using
Obsession for Men to get the
jaguars in front of these camera
traps,” he confirmed.
The US Wildlife Conservation
Society discovered the feline
fascination with the fragrance
during experiments at its Bronx
Zoo in New York, with the second
most popular fragrance with the
creatures being Nina Ricci’s l’Air
du Temps.
