Man gets sick benefits for heavy metal addiction
Published: 19th June 2007 15:12 CET
A Swedish heavy metal fan has had his musical preferences officially classified as a disability. The results of a psychological analysis enable the metal lover to supplement his income with state benefits.
Roger Tullgren, 42, from Hässleholm in southern Sweden has just started working part time as a dishwasher at a local restaurant.
Because heavy metal dominates so many aspects of his life, the Employment Service has agreed to pay part of Tullgren’s salary. His new boss meanwhile has given him a special dispensation to play loud music at work.
“I have been trying for ten years to get this classified as a handicap,” Tullgren told The Local.
I gots mine, what about you?

40-Year-Old Former Teacher Marries 16-Year-Old Student :: WRAL.com
WILMINGTON, N.C. — A 40-year-old high school science teacher and cross country coach has resigned his position and married a 16-year-old student.Brenton Wuchae coached Windy Hager at South Brunswick High School, where she recently completed her sophomore year as one of the school’s top runners. He also lives less than two miles away from the Hagers’ home on Oak Island.
Wuchae married Hager in Brunswick County on Monday, according to a marriage license.
Hager’s parents, Dennis and Betty Hager, said they did all they could to keep the couple apart after noticing a deeper-than-usual friendship forming between them. The parents said they tried to intervene by talking to the coach, going to school officials, pleading with police and sheriff’s office detectives, even other teachers and students at South Brunswick.
But the Hagers say they reluctantly signed a consent form allowing their daughter to marry her coach.
Obviously I do not know /all/ the variables in the story, but I do not understand the bolded line above. They reluctantly signed consent? She was underage, even if he ran off with her wouldn’t that have been kidnapping? I don’t get it.

Formula One weekend!
Posted by Critter under Events
Quite possibly one of the most amazing weekends of my life.
I do not think I can put into words the awesomeness of the cars. The sounds they put out are just amazing.
Here are a few pics. I am having problems uploading to flickr on this sat line, so these will have to hold you over until I get a decent connection. Enjoy
Phoenix is top heavy
Posted by Critter under Pictures
Phoenix had his 6 month checkup yesterday. As you can
see from his stat sheet, he is in the 5th percentile for his height,
50th for his weight, and 75th for his head circumference. It just
means he has a big brain. I’m sure he will grow into it… eventually,
but for now, he’ll fall over on his head in a heartbeat!
John Larroquette joins Boston Legal
Posted by Critter under News Items
Boston Legal, quite possibly one of the best television shows currently on the air, will be adding John Larroquette to it’s cast this upcoming season.
If you have not seen the show, I highly recommend it. James Spader and William Shatner are brilliant.
