November 14, 2007 -- Where is the love? Apparently, not in Illinois.

A 13-year-old girl was given detention after she hugged her friends at her school in Mascoutah. School officials say it was in violation of a ban on public displays of affection.

The school district says it will look into revising the policy after the girl's parents complained.

It wasn't "Heather has two Mommies," but it came close enough in one Canada school.

An award-winning book for children was banned in Saskatchewan because the author used the word "bazoongas" to describe breasts.

"I was looking for something humorous without being obscene," said author Nikki Tate.

"The language that is used by children in schools can be quite foul."

School officials did not agree.

A Swiss welfare group has been searching for volunteers to have sex with the disabled.

"It's a big taboo that needs to be broken. Having sex is a basic human need, like eating and drinking, and we have to fight for this right for the disabled," said Aiha Zemp of the Welfare Group for Disability and Sexuality.

So far, three men and one woman have offered to provide "erotic touching," and another nine have come forward to offer sex.

An Indian man married a female dog in a traditional Hindu ceremony to atone for stoning two dogs to death, an act he believes left him cursed.

"After that, my legs and hands got paralyzed and I lost hearing in one ear," he said.

An astrologer told him that the only way to cure the maladies was to marry a dog.

Monkey see, monkey do - monkey kill!

A wild monkey went on a rampage through the Indian capital of New Delhi, injuring several people, including many children.

"The monkey followed me in and buried its teeth in my baby's leg," said N!@#$%^&*ema, whose 1-year-old daughter was hurt.

As many as 25 people were injured in the attack. The monkey remains at large.
