BEIJING, China (AP) — A man in southern China appears to have died of exhaustion after a three-day Internet gaming binge, state media said Monday. The 30-year-old man fainted at a cyber cafe in the city of Guangzhou Saturday afternoon after he had been playing games online for three days, the Beijing News reported. Paramedics tried to revive him but failed and he was declared dead at the cafe, it said. The paper said that he may have died from exhaustion brought on by too many hours on the Internet. The report did not say what the man, whose name was not given, was playing. The report said that about 100 other Web surfers “left the cafe in fear after witnessing the man’s death.” China has 140 million Internet users, second only to the U.S.. It is one of the world’s biggest markets for online games, with tens of millions of players, many of whom hunker down for hours in front of PCs in public Internet cafes. Several cities have clinics to treat what psychiatrists have dubbed “Internet addiction” in users, many of them children and teenagers, who play online games or surf the Web for days at a time.

NEW DELHI (Reuters) – A lonely wild male elephant raided a female elephant stable at a circus in eastern India and wooed one of its residents to elope with him, a newspaper report said on Thursday. ADVERTISEMENT The 26-year-old tusker smashed through the tin walls of the circus in Raniganj town of West Bengal state on Wednesday and fell for Savitri, one of the four females in the stable, the Times of India said. Savitri fled with him and residents later saw the couple roaming around “much in love”, the newspaper said. However, it was not just the circus owner who was left ruing the loss of Savitri, estimated to be worth 400,000 rupees (4,864 pounds). Another female elephant at the circus, known to be very attached to Savitri, had broken down and was pining for her girlfriend, the report said.

SAN RAFAEL, Calif. (AP) – A man recently released from jail after being convicted of secretly videotaping a woman and a teenage girl has sued a Marin County police department for the return of a massive porn collection taken during the investigation. Dennis Saunders, 59, filed suit against San Rafael police in Marin County Superior Court after the department refused to give back some 500 pornographic movies and 250 magazines his lawyer described as unrelated to the peeping case. “There’s absolutely no legal foundation for them withholding perfectly legal adult-oriented material,” Tiburon attorney Jon Rankin said. The video collection alone was likely worth at least $10,000, Rankin said. Saunders, of Healdsburg, was arrested in 2002 and charged with taping the women in their homes at a San Rafael apartment complex where he worked. He was released last month. A lawyer representing the city said authorities wanted direction from a judge on whether it would be “lawful or appropriate” to return the material to Saunders, who has a history of peeping-related arrests dating back to 1979, “If the court orders us to give it back to him, we will give it back to him,” city lawyer Thomas Bertrand said.

That’s a righteous case if I ever saw one. If I was a lawyer I’d fight it for him “pro-boner”. (ha ha)
