A few weirdles

South Africa's Gosiame Sithole made headlines back in June for giving
birth to 10 babies.  Since then, the babies' claimed father, Teboho
Tsotetsi, has stated that he has never met any of the decuplets, and a
subsequent examination at Tembisa Hospital revealed that Sithole, 37,
'did not give birth to any babies in recent times' and has not been
pregnant in recent years either.
  The aftermath includes her admission to a psychiatric hospital in
Pretoria and an admission from /Pretoria News/ editor Piet Rampedi
that 'I used no investigative tool or checklist' before sending this
'story of celebration' around the world, since Sithole 'had no reason
to lie to me'.

In May, a Connecticut woman filed a complaint about occasions on which
her landlord, Jorge Orellana-Arias, had entered the bedroom she shares
with her daughter and rummaged through their clothing.  On one
occasion, she reported, he'd fled upon startling her daughter, who
was in the flat on her own.
  After this, she erected barriers but suspected that Orellana-Arias,
38, merely switched to a side door after this.  Her next recourse
was hidden cameras.  This is why the police now have footage of him
bringing female undergarments to his nose.  The tenant turned the tape
over to the police, who have turned Orellana-Orias over to the court
system.

  The wanker Jorge Orellana-Arias ~ hankers to wear real jail orange.

  Jorge Orellana-Arias  =   An arse, or... jail galore!
                       ...  or so near a large jail


In Florida, a woman decided to dress down, all the way to her
birthday suit, for a visit to an Outback Steakhouse location.  The
incident culminated in 53-year-old Tina Kindred mounting the
bar and hurling glasses and bottles of booze at the assembled company
until members of the Ocala Police Department had dodged glassware long
enough to Taser her in the left breast and then arrest her.
  Before racking up several thousand dollars in damage there, Kindred
had paid a topless visit to the Mojo Grill & Catering company, where
she was denied entry.  Complaining that the owner is dishonest, she
flipped over some tables and tried to get into a customer's car before
driving 'wrecklessly' in the car park and leaving for greener
pastures.

At a bungee-jumping facility in Amaga, northern Colombia, 25-year-old
Yecenia Morales Gomez was waiting behind her boyfriend in the queue to
take a flying leap.  After being kitted out in the harness, she heard
the signal for her boyfriend to jump from the bridge and 'she got
confused', in the words of the city's mayor, Gustav Guzman.  He had a
bungee cord around his ankles, while she did not.
  She reportedly died of a massive heart attack during her cordless
50-metre fall, with her boyfriend's subsequent CPR attempts proving
fruitless.

Texas's Casey Garcia was concerned about lack of security at her
daughter's middle school.  So, garbed as a teenager, 30-year-old
Garcia posed as her 13-year-old offspring at the San Eliazario
facility 'all day, face to face with teachers', even interacting with
the principal at one point.
  In a video posted to YouTube at the end of the school day, Garcia
sums up: 'Do I look like a seventh-grader?  No?  Cool.'  The school
resolved the problem by having her arrested on suspicion of criminal
trespassing and tampering with (presumably attendance-related)
government records.

  Casey Garcia = Age circa, say, ...?
