ADOLF Hitler purchased blow-up dolls

ADOLF Hitler purchased blow-up dolls for his army because so many contracted STD's from prostitutes, The Sun has reported. Archived records tell that Nazi scientists developed the "synthetic comforters" for German soldiers who were often hustling in Paris.

The issue was so intense it was keeping many of the troops from their frontline army duties. The World War Two project began in 1940 after SS chief Heinrich Himmler wrote, "The greatest danger in Paris is the widespread and uncontrolled presence of whores, picking up clients in bars, dance halls and other places. It is our duty to prevent soldiers from risking their health for the sake of a quick adventure." Hitler personally approved the plan for the blonde and blue-eyed "gynoid" dolls, which were small enough to fit into a backpack. They were tested by soldiers in Nazi-occupied Jersey. Himmler was so impressed he ordered 50 for his own troops.

But in 1942 the project was halted when German soldiers refused to carry the dolls because of the potential embarrassment if they were captured by the enemy. Author Graeme Donald uncovered Hitler's secretive "Borghild Project" while researching the history of Barbie, which was based on a postwar German sex doll. He said, "In the end the idea fizzled out and the place where they were made and all the dolls were destroyed in the bombing of Dresden."

Genderless Preschool

Genderless Preschool

What would you think if your preschool started to address all the children as "Friends" instead of words like "him" or "her". The centre has been extremely well designed to ensure that all toys and colors are carefully selected to to make sure the children don't think along the lines of gender stereotypes.

A spokesperson from the Egalia kindergarden says, "Society expects girls to be girlie, nice and pretty and boys to be manly, rough and outgoing," says Jenny Johnsson, who is a 31-year-old teacher. "Egalia gives them a fantastic opportunity to be whoever they want to be."

Introducing the pedal powered police car

Introducing the pedal powered police car

Just when you thought things couldn’t get any crazier in England, the British Police have just released their latest weapon in the fight against crime, the pedal powered police car.

Police believe that their new vehicle with a maximum speech of 20mph, complete with a siren, will help them combat anti-social behaviour which is a large problem in Britain. The battery assisted vehicle also has a roll bar to protect the driver in the event of a crash. The police spent approximately 40 hours building the car with a children’s school.

The aim of creating the car was to teach young children that there are many other enjoyable activities they can do in their spare time and helps to stop children from turning to anti-social behaviour. The building of this car has also helped the police look more approachable.

Lactating Criminal

Lactating Criminal

A heavily intoxicated American woman was arrested after allegedly spraying police with her own breast milk when they attempted to arrest her.

Delaware County Sheriff's deputies were responding to calls about a domestic dispute early Saturday adjacent to a hall in Powell, Ohio, which is locatged just north of Columbus, WBNS-TV reported. A witness at the location informed police his wife, 30-year-old Stephanie Robinette, had gotten drunk during a wedding at the hall and had hit him several times before locking herself in a car.

Sheriff Walter L. Davis III told the station that the woman refused to cooperate. "When deputies attempted to remove Robinette from the vehicle, she advised the deputies that she was a breast feeding mother and proceeded to remove her right breast from her dress and began spraying deputies and the vehicle with her breast milk," Davis said.

The deputies eventually removed Robinette from the car and she was charged with domestic violence, assault, obstructing official business, resisting arrest and disorderly conduct, WBNS-TV reported. Robinette, who is a teacher at a charter school, pleaded not guilty to the charges and was released from custody yesterday after a video arraignment. Robinette had apologised for her actions before she was released. "I have no criminal record; I take these charges very seriously and I absolutely intend to seek help for substance abuse with alcohol because alcoholism does run in my family," she said.
