Astate court in Frankfurt, Germany, awarded 3,000 euros — about $4,200 — to Magnus Gaefgen, 36, on his claim that during a 2002 police interrogation, officers “threatened violence” against him if he did not disclose what he knew about a missing 11-year-old boy who was later found dead.
In 2003, Gaefgen was convicted of the boy’s murder and is serving a life sentence, but the court nevertheless thought he should be compensated for his “pain and suffering.”
What
a
shame 
The British recreation firm, UK Paintball, announced that a female customer had been injured after a paintball shot hit her in the chest, causing her silicone breast implant to “explode.”
The company recommended that paintball facilities supply better chest protection for women with implants.
Good thing
he didn’t
use a
paint ball gun
The Moscow, Russia, newspaper, Moskovsky Komsomolets, reported that a local woman’s life had been saved by her “state-of-the-art” silicone breast implant.
Her husband had stabbed her repeatedly in the chest during a domestic argument, but the implant’s gel supposedly deflected the blade.
