Dog survives being run over by freight train three times in five days
A tiny dachshund from Rosemount, Minnesota, appears to have at least that many. The pooch was run over by freight trains at least three times in five days -- twice by the same conductor. The distinction has earned the dog a nickname -- Railroad Joe.

Don't Get Scammed at the ATM
Look for these tell-tale signs to avoid losing your money, or inadvertently handing your PIN number over to the Russian mafia the next time you use an automatic teller:
-
If the ATM appears to be crudely attached to the back of a Toyota Celica, or Ford Ranger Pickup truck, BEWARE!
-
If you see an ATM that has been cleverly modified, as this one has, BEWARE!

Chinese Hold Camel Beauty Contest
Shiny hair. Upright humps. Sharp outfits. And definitely no swimsuit competition. If you're in the market for a beautiful camel, those are apparently the things you might want to consider. And in northern China, they're doing just that — holding a dromedary beauty contest as part of what is billed as "the first international camel festival."

NYC woman married 27 times in immigration
A woman who was accused of accepting money to marry 27 illegal immigrants so they could get residency and work permits pleaded guilty Wednesday to one count of filing a false instrument.
Dezerrie Cortes, 40, had been charged with perjury and falsifying business records. In exchange for a plea deal that will get her six months in jail and 4 1/2 years' probation, she admitted lying Jan. 8, 2000, on an application for a licence to marry a man from India, saying she had never been married before, prosecutors said.

German smokers laugh off health warnings
"Begging cigarettes from others can lead to sudden death," reads one black and white warning, imitating one of the 14 EU-mandated health messages required since last month.
"Move out of the way! I'm headed for the graveyard" and "I smoke because you stink" are two other warnings that German smokers are sticking on their packs.

Top Gun
Smith & Wesson introduces new .500 Magnum
The S&W X-frame Model 500 is a brawny handgun designed to master the most rigorous hunting fields in the world. It is not a revolver one would, or likely could, tuck into a waistband. In fact, to call it massive is an understatement.
With its 8-3/8-in. barrel, the overall length of the Model 500 is 15 in. and the empty weight is 4.5 pounds. The cylinder alone is almost 2 in. in diameter and approaches 2.25 in. in length. Thumb the cylinder open and five charge holes await. Each is 1/2 in. in diameter, and the .50-cal. cartridges they hold are almost 2 in. long.
