11-year-old girl became a mother during her wedding. (Ten words)

Years ago and still today in a few countries, marriage to a girl under the age of 18 is still the norm. Bulgaria however frowns on such a thing, especially when the groom is a legal adult. The case gets a little more bizarre with a twist when an 11-year-old girl became a mother during her wedding.

11-year-old Kordeza Zhelyazkova was taken to the hospital in a wedding dress and tiara. There she gave birth to her baby daughter, who was named Violeta.

The Schoolgirl, from the town of Sliven in Bulgaria, became pregnant just two weeks after she turned 11 years old. The girl became a mother when childbirth started right during the wedding of the young groom, 19-year-old husband Zheljazko Dimitrov.

Kardeza says that she is not going to play with toys anymore because she now has a new duty. “She’s so beautiful, I love her very much. Violeta is my child, and apparently, it’s time to for me to grow up.” It is doubtful she will return to school, because now she just wants to be a mom.

The 11 and 19 year old met on the playground of his Roma School, he saved her from bullies.

Kordeza admits: “We have not had sex education, and I did not know how I got pregnant. I had never been a friend and I had never heard of condoms. I did not know I was pregnant until my grandmother brought attention to something, I strongly attested I thought that eaten too many hamburgers.”

The young couple united by marriage in the traditional Gypsy wedding, However Zheljazko under the laws of Bulgaria, faces up to six years in prison for seducing a minor.

HAYDEN, Idaho - A White separatist drew complaints from neighbors and a visit from law enforcement officers after building a snowman shaped like a member of the Ku Klux Klan on his front lawn.

County sheriff's deputies told Mark E-luh-son Wednesday that he could be charged with a crime because the 10-foot-tall snowman was holding what appeared to be a noose. Deputies were called by neighbors who were appalled by the pointy-headed snowman with two dark eyes.

Hayden for decades earned notoriety for being near the former rural compound of the Aryan Nations.

E-luh-son could have been charged with creating a public nuisance. Idaho law defines such a nuisance as anything "offensive to the senses" or that interferes with the comfort of an entire neighborhood. E-luh-son removed the noose and toppled the snowman after he talked with officers.

E-luh-son told KXLY-TV of Spokane that he sees nothing wrong with the snowman. But other people did.

"It's such a message of hate," said Amber Caldwell, who saw the snowman while visiting her cousin in the neighborhood. "My kids asked me about it and I had to explain what that symbol means."

E-luh-son has angered neighbors in the past by flying Aryan Nations flags at his home. At Halloween he passed out bullet casings after he said he ran out of candy.
 

Kent, England: As Arctic blizzards swept across southeast England, stranding hundreds in their cars and bringing motorways to a virtual halt in whiteout conditions, Kent police received a strange call on their emergency number.

"I haven't been out to check on him for five hours but I went outside for a fag (cigarette) and he's gone," said the female caller.

When the operator asked who had gone she replied: "My snowman. I thought that with it being icy and there not being anybody about he'd be safe.

"It ain't a nice road but you don't expect anybody to nick your snowman," she added.

Police were most definitely not amused.

"This call could have cost someone's life if there was a genuine emergency and they couldn't get through. It was completely irresponsible,' said Chief Inspector Simon Black.

A transcript of the call was released by the force to highlight what they said was misuse of the emergency number 999 system.

-My unknown friend in a Jeep – I was driving down Arapahoe Road on Thursday when this hero flashed his lights at me several times. I figured he may be trying to warm me of a speed trap, so I slowed down. I had been going 15 over the limit, but I slowed to the speed limit, and the motorcycle cop on the median just let me fly on by.

(Clip 50) Onion News story about the Hamburglar.

Magnificent 7: Top Seven McDonalds Characters
7. Birdie the Early Bird - She was the first identifiably female character, introduced in February 1980 to promote the company's new breakfast items. She is a yellow bird wearing a pink jumpsuit and flight cap and scarf. In the ads she is frequently portrayed as a poor flyer, and somewhat clumsy in general. Birdie's origin is explained in one old commercial: a giant egg falls from the night sky into McDonaldland, and Ronald McDonald decides to show the egg love.

6. Ronald McDonald – The original Ronald was actually Willard Scott.

5. Uncle O'Grimacey - He was created in 1977 and even appeared in 1986 for an advertising narrative of McDonald's both in celebration of Saint Patrick's Day and to mark the annual appearance of the Shamrock Shake. O'Grimacey is the Irish uncle of the character Grimace and is a variant of the Grimace-design in that he is green instead of purple, sports a frock coat covered with several four-leaf clovers, and carries a shillelagh. His design motif is not unlike that of a stereotypical depiction of the Irish folkloric leprechaun. O'Grimacey resides in his home country for eleven months of the year and visits his nephew Grimace in March, bringing with him his "incredibly delicious" shake. Uncle O'Grimacey is no longer used by the chain for its promotions of the shake.
4. Fry Guys - They are characters used to promote McDonald's french fries. When they first appeared in 1972, they were called Gobblins and liked to steal and gobble up the other characters' french fries. Accompanying them was the "Keep Your Eyes on Your Fries" jingle. Their name was later changed to the Fry Guys in 1983, then the Fry Kids in 1987, as female characters (the "Fry Girls") were introduced. They are differently-colored, shaggy, ball-like creatures with long legs and no arms, almost resembling a pom-pon with legs and eyes.

3. Hamburglar

2. Grimace - Grimace is a large, purple character who was first introduced in November 1971 as the "Evil Grimace". In his first two appearances, he was depicted with two pairs of arms with which to steal milkshakes and sodas. "Evil" was soon dropped from his moniker, and he was reintroduced in 1972 as one of the good guys. In 1974, he was redesigned, going from two pairs of arms to the single pair he has today. His role continued to grow, and by the mid 1970s, he was a major character in McDonaldland. Commercials and merchandise generally portray Grimace as a well-meaning simpleton whose clumsy antics provide a comic foil to Ronald McDonald.

1. Mayor McCheese - Mayor McCheese was an enormous cheeseburger who appeared from 1971–1985, he has a burger for a head, and sports a top hat, a diplomat's sash, and a pair of pince-nez spectacles. He is portrayed as a giggly, bumbling, somewhat incompetent mayor.

Why do we have new pennies? – The new Lincoln pennies celebrating the life of our 16th president.

Coins are getting dumb:
Penny – Worth 1 cent, costs almost 2 cents to make
Nickel – Worth 5 cents, costs 7.7 cents to make
Now we are minting NEW Lincoln pennies? Why? I get it’s to honor Lincoln, but seriously, pennies?

In fact, penny melting is becoming popular, and a regular cottage industry of melting down pennies to sell the copper and zinc (97.5% Zinc 2.5% copper) has arisen due to the fact that the pennies are worth more melted than as money. The government has actually had to make it a crime to melt pennies, and if you’re caught doing so, you can be imprisoned for as much a five years for the crime.
