Let’s get to the news… (Play News Music – Clip 03)
LONDON – Sarah Kemp and George Bentley were looking for love online, but not exactly in this way.
A person never knows who they might be meeting on an online dating site, so it pays to be careful. Such was the case for Sarah Kemp and George Bentley.
Sarah Kemp was living in Edinburgh, Scotland, working as a cleaner, when she met George Bentley, a builder from London. The two met on ForgetDinner.co.uk in November, and began emailing each other. From the beginning, they enjoyed their growing relationship, and found that they had so much in common. Eventually, like many online couples, they decided to meet.
"I would never have agreed to go to London on a blind date, but we hit it off from the beginning, and our relationship blossomed as we emailed each other more and more often," Kemp told Scotland's Daily Record, AOL News reported.
Kemp traveled to London, where the two had agreed to meet at Bentley’s favorite pub. After talking it up for about an hour, a wrench was thrown into the potential romance: They found that they had tons in common, they liked the same kinds of foods, they had musical taste in common, and..they had the same parents…Yep, The would-be “couple” realized they were actually brother and sister.
"To meet your long-lost brother, in a bar, after over 30 years would be something by itself," Kemp said, reported AOL. "But to meet him in those circumstances -- on a date, for crying out loud -- really is something else. We obviously had far more in common than first thought."
The brother and sister, 47 and 42, respectively, were separated in 1975, when their parents divorced. Kemp went with their mother to Edinburgh, and Bentley remained with their father.
In 1989, Kemp married and, while she divorced her husband after only a year, she decided to keep her husband’s name, no longer “Sarah Bentley” but “Sarah Kemp.” Bentley said he searched for his sister but, having absolutely no idea where she was or that her name had changed, his search was unfruitful.
“After a while, I think both Sarah and I gave up looking," Bentley said.
Now, of course, the two are pursuing a relationship of a different sort—happily getting to know each other as siblings once again, so many years later. And, at this time, there is no word on whether or not either plans to try online dating once again.
NEW YORK (AFP) – The US Postal Service's Statue of Liberty forever stamp is a wannabe. The US post office has egg on its face this week after it came to light that it’s new forever stamp featuring the Statue of Liberty in close up is not a picture of the venerable statue in New York's harbor, but rather it was a photo taken of the replica Statue of Liberty at Las Vegas casino New York, New York
Postal officials say they weren't aware of that until a stamp expert pointed it out.
They say the stamp was designed from a photo provided by an agency that licensed it only as "Statue of Liberty."
However, USPS officials say they like the design and have no plans to pull it out of circulation.
PHILADELPHIA – A Philadelphia college newspaper has gone topless to publish a story alleging a professor used exotic dancers in a business seminar.
La Salle University students wanted to print a story about the professor, but the school administration was preventing them from breaking the story. The administrators finally gave the okay to print the story after the Philadelphia City Paper broke the story on April 8 but they issued a caveat that the story could not be front page news, but rather it must be printed below the fold.
So the creative students came up with a gloriously creative way to bring attention to the story and still obey the edict that it couldn’t be on the front page. The top half of Thursday's Collegian is blank, except for the words "See below the fold."
Therefore, the college paper went topless to break a story about topless dancers…That’s good irony!
The university's dean declined to comment.
