BBC News - Canadian workers ill after cannabis brownie mix-up

Canadian workers ill after cannabis brownie mix-up

Three office employees in the Canadian city of Victoria fell ill after a colleague unwittingly gave them chocolate brownies laced with cannabis.

Police were investigating a possible case of poisoning at the workplace after the three were taken to hospital feeling dizzy and disorientated.

The woman who brought in the cakes said she simply found them in her freezer.

But her son later admitted to police he had baked the cannabis cakes some time ago and forgotten about them.

Canadian media reports said police decided not to press charges because there had been no criminal intent.

But the son is expected to be ordered to take part in community work, said the Vancouver Sun.

All three affected colleagues were released from hospital after a few hours.

Gordon Ramsay Dwarf Porn Star Lookalike Found Dead in Badger Den

September 14th, 2011 3:26 PM by Free Britney

Percy Foster, a dwarf porn star who was a dead ringer for Gordon Ramsay, was found dead in a badger den in the U.K. Seriously, this is a real story.

The star of X-rated movie Hi-Ho Hi-Ho, It's Up Your A**e We Go (again, seriously) was discovered partially eaten "deep in an underground chamber."

UK Ministry of Agriculture experts running a planned badger-gassing program near Tregaron, Wales, happened upon the 3'6" actor, reports indicate.

MANILA, Philippines - Women ended armed clashes in 2 Mindanao villages by not having sex with their husbands unless the men laid down their weapons, according to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR).
The success of the "sex strike" allowed families to start rebuilding their communities, the UN's refugee agency said.
