Granny punches crocodile in eye to repel ferocious attack Posted: An old woman from a longhouse in Sibuti, near Miri, fended off a crocodile attack by punching it hard in the eye. Lumeit Entabang, 63, was bathing by the banks of Sungai Bakas, not far from her home in Rumah Empading, when she felt a sharp bite on her left hand. She was then dragged into the water but her punch caused the reptile to loosen its grip and flee to the opposite bank. "All I could do was scream. The crocodile let go of my hand and then grabbed my left thigh," the Star Online quoted her as saying. "Quickly and with all my might, I hit it right in the eye with my clenched fist," she added. The injured Entabang said that although her village had been supplied with piped water, she continued to bath and wash by the river as she had done for the past 60 years. "But I''''m never going near the river again," she added.

Gay couple that turned lesbians now marry after one gets sex change op! Posted: Transgender lesbians officially took marriage vows in Britain as man and wife, after one of them underwent a sex change operation. The two men, Paul 65, now known as Jenny-Anne Bishop and Elen Heart, 68, had divorced their wives, got together as a gay couple in 2004 and eventually lived together in Clwyd, Wales, for six years as transgender lesbians. The couple had previously ruled out the option of undergoing surgery because of the associated risks at their age, but last year, Jenny-Anne finally decided to go under the knife for a sex change. Both of them run a refuge for transgender people who struggle to be accepted and present trans-awareness training to public service providers, such as police and local councils. "The law has seen us go from a gay couple - to a lesbian couple - to a heterosexual couple who can get married, but basically we are just two people who love each other and wanted to publicly declare and celebrate our relationship," the Daily Mail quoted Bishop, who has a granddaughter, as saying.
