Inmate Says He Killed Man To Get New Cell The inmate charged in the January throat-slashing death of a fellow prisoner at Avenal State Prison told investigators he committed the crime because noise levels in his general-population cell block were annoying him, and he wanted to be moved to administrative segregation. Howard Brown, 34, was serving time at Avenal for two counts of residential burglary when he attacked and killed Yuri Spisarczuk, 57, in a prison yard. Brown, who was scheduled for release in June 2009, now faces a 50-year-to-life mandatory sentence under the "Three Strikes and You're Out" law if convicted of the killing. Patrick Hart, chief deputy district attorney for Kings County, said it doesn' ... Plastic Surgeon Expects Smaller Breasts In 2005PARK RIDGE, Ill. - Bigger isn't necessarily better anymore when it comes to breast implants. That' ... Pets Save More Relationships Than Dr. PhilMISSOULA, Montana Forget Dr. Phil -- pets are the best medicine when it comes to maintaining a relationship. Rachel Toor, author of the book, "The Pig and I: Why It's So Easy to Love an Animal, and So Hard to Live with a Man" (Penguin), says when couples share a pet, they become closer and see their own faults in their animals. For instance, Toor says she once shared her pet pig with an ex-boyfriend and began to see her own personality traits reflected in the pig, such as selfishness, lack of tolerance and bullheadedness. Although she didn't recognize her own pitfalls in time to save the relationship, Toor says she plans on using what she now knows about herself for future relationships. In addition, Toor says pets help us accept our partners for who they are because, as she puts it, "With pets, we have to accept them because we can' ... It Flow - Men Want Urinals In Their HomesCHICO, Calif. - Urinals aren't just for men's restrooms anymore: More and more guys are opting to install them in their homes. That's according to the folks at the online home improvement retailer Improvementdirect.com, who regularly sell the stand-up toilets to male do-it-yourselfers. Divisional assistant Amy Davison has fielded some of the calls from guys installing home urinals and estimates 70 percent of them want one in a special color to match their bathroom decor. For instance, one man who was building a sports bar in his home wanted to outfit the room with a black and silver urinal to match the sporty color scheme. Not many men explain why they want a home urinal, but Davison figures for them, "it's a treat. "But she does add that some guys have mentioned they want the urinals, "so my wife can' ... America's Dysfunctional Presidential PastWASHINGTON - Here's one reason to celebrate this President's Day (Feb. 21): Chances are, you're not nearly as dysfunctional as some of America's presidents. Family counselor Beverly Hubble Tauke says Americans may be surprised to learn that some of the country's remarkable presidents had their share of grim family pain. Tauke says Ronald Reagan's father was an alcoholic, while Bill Clinton never knew his father and was later traumatized by an alcoholic, wife-battering stepfather. Abraham Lincoln is her favorite because his father was an impoverished illiterate who used to beat Abe for being ambitious and trying to learn to read, but "The Great Emancipator" still managed to prevail. Despite the suffering, Tauke says these future presidents were able to succeed because they all had staunch allies on their side -- usually their mother or stepmother -- and they didn' ... Lonely For Love? Get Yourself A 'Porn Buddy'NEW YORK -- Anyone can have a "friendship with benefits" but it takes a special person to be a "porn buddy ."That's what New York-based performance artist Rachel Shukert discovered last year after a painful breakup with her boyfriend. Instead of finding a part-time lover for "booty calls," Shukert chose to spend her time watching porn with a hunky male neighbor who became her "porn buddy." She says actual intercourse should never be part of the "porn buddy" relationship because the "sexual tension has to be there." Otherwise, it's just a booty call. Also, Shukert says that no matter how turned on you get, you shouldn' ... Rent-A-Midget Service Is Thinking BigCHINO, Calif. - If you think good things come in small packages, there are three guys in Chino, California, who'd love to hear from you. The three run a party-planning service called "Rent-A-Midget" which books pint-sized performers who do everything from stripteases to stand up comedy. Co-owner Chris Fetterer says he and his pals came up with the idea after agreeing that having a midget at a party definitely makes it more fun -- and now they book gigs for five performing little people in the Southern California region. Rent-A-Midget is currently promoting cupid impersonations for Valentine's Day, where a little person dresses up and gives your sweetheart some flowers, as well as midget Superbowl parties where the performer serves drinks each time the favored team scores a touchdown. Fetterer says the performers love being paid to entertain -- at rates of $75 and up per gig -- and he loves helping them. In his words, "We make almost nothing off the events we do. We just do it because it' ... Doctor Backs Picking Your Nose And Eating ItPicking your nose and eating it is one of the best ways to stay healthy, according to a top Austrian doctor. Innsbruck-based lung specialist Prof Dr Friedrich Bischinger said people who pick their noses with their fingers were healthy, happier and probably better in tune with their bodies. He says society should adopt a new approach to nose-picking and encourage children to take it up. Dr Bischinger said: "With the finger you can get to places you just can't reach with a handkerchief, keeping your nose far cleaner. "And eating the dry remains of what you pull out is a great way of strengthening the body' ... Phone Sex Operators Actually Like Their JobsTALLAHASSEE, Fla. - Think phone sex operators are really bored old hags who file their nails while talking filthy? Guess again. According to professional phone sex worker Miranda Austin, the women in the industry take pride in their jobs and often get "sexually excited" by their own dirty work. But the job isn't easy.
