A New York man living in Tulsa went to get a nose job with a well-established Tulsa plastic surgeon and five years later does not have a nose.

Vishal Thakkar got a divorce and in 2006 he admittedly made a vain decision.

"I decided to do something selfish," said Thakkar, sitting in his attorney's office in South Tulsa.

Dr. Angelo Cuzalina is known across Green County for his plastic surgery. The Oklahoma Medical Board does not show any complaints in his history. He is listed as president of the American Board of Cosmetic Surgery.

"I had the first surgery and suffered some breathing problems, nothing too bad, but it made it hard to exercise and sleep," said Thakkar.

SCHAGHTICOKE, N.Y. -- Officials at a small school district in upstate New York say an "honest mistake" led to students being identified in the yearbook as "Creepy smile kid" and "Some tall guy."

The labels appear in photo captions of the high school yearbook at Hoosic Valley, a rural district 20 miles northeast of Albany.

Acting Superintendent Amy Goodell tells the Troy Record (http://bit.ly/122a274) a "non-intentional, honest mistake" resulted in some members of the track and field team being labeled with made-up names such as "Isolation kid." Several students were identified simply as "Someone."

PAULDEN, Ariz. -- There's a 9-foot statue causing a lot of drama in Paulden, Yavapai County.

David Smith is a master welder and spent years making his metal gargoyle.

“I built it a certain way and I like it like that,” said Smith.

Smith’s neighbor, Leon Bonner, also likes the lawn art.

“I think it’s outstanding,” said Bonner.

Others neighbors don’t like the statue but didn’t want to talk to 3TV.

Certain females consume male ejaculate and sperm as if they were food, using the nutrients to fuel their own bodies as well as their eggs, according to new research.

The study, published in the journal Biology Letters, adds yet another dimension to the battle between the sexes.

"If males have their sperm consumed, rather than used for egg fertilization, they will lose that reproductive opportunity. Therefore, it is in the male's best interests to try to ensure at least some of his sperm reaches the female’s eggs," lead author Benjamin Wegener, a researcher at Monash University’s School of Biological Sciences, explained to Discovery News.

Wegener said that ejaculate consumption is well-documented among numerous species. Humans are included in that group, but the behavior is not a standard part of our reproductive process.

DURANGO, Colo., June 6 (UPI) -- Talk about overexposed -- revelers left nothing to the imagination recently when they welcomed passengers on a heritage train traveling to Durango, Colo.

More than a dozen naked partiers greeted passengers on the Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad in late May with bare behinds and fronts, irking a tourist and drawing warnings from law enforcement, the Durango Herald reported Wednesday.

A photograph taken by tourist captured for posterity partying men and women with nothing but beers and smiles as they hooted and hollered at passengers.

A GREEN-FINGERED thief rolled up a length of grass from a community park area and walked off with it under his arm.

Michael Archibald committed the crime because he thought the section of turf would look nice in his back garden, Hartlepool Magistrates’ Court heard.

His solicitor Barry Gray told justices that this was the first time in his 40–year career that he had ever represented anyone who had stolen a roll of grass, and questioned whether the court had ever had to deal with such an offence.

Mr Gray said: “It’s true to say that I’ve never represented anybody before on theft of turf, and I dare say the court has never had to deal with a case of theft of turf before.

“He simply believed that this turf would look well in his back garden and thought it wouldn’t be missed from the place where he took it.

“It was just a case of rolling it up and walking off with it. It was cheeky and dishonest of course, but it was without an awful lot of thought. He said it was like a rug and he just rolled it up and walked off with it under his arms.

The City of Abbotsford has issued an apology for dumping manure over a popular gathering place for homeless people in order to drive them out of the area.

“I am deeply sorry for our actions,” said city manager George Murray in a statement.

“The City will be removing the manure from the site and working closely with our community partners and the people impacted over the next few days to collectively resolve this issue.”

The city dumped the truck load of chicken manure Tuesday and residents complained about the terrible smell.

“There’s people camping here and that’s the main reason they’ve done it, to get rid of them camping near the road,” said resident Ruth Schmolinkski, who added the homeless people in the area have never caused a problem for the neighborhood.

SAN JOSE -- A local woman who served four years in prison for the notorious severed-finger-in-Wendy's-chili scam will be sent back to the state clink for a new hoax -- this time, for two years.

Anna Ayala, 47, picked up the new prison term by hiding the fact that her son had accidentally shot himself in the ankle with a gun he was not allowed to have because he was on parole.

Instead of coming clean about the Oct. 21 shooting, Ayala and her son, Guadalupe "Junior" Reyes, 26, blamed it on two men, including someone they apparently didn't like, prompting police to interrogate the mystified suspect.

Reyes also will get two years in state prison when mother and son are formally sentenced in September. He
Anna Ayala departs from her court appearance in which she didn't enter a plea on Feb. 22, 2013 at Santa Clara County Hall of Justice in San Jose. Anna Ayala, the woman behind the notorious 2005 hoax involving a segment of human finger placed in a bowl of fast-food chili, was arrested Thursday on charges of being an accessory to a felony and filing a false police report. Guadalupe "Junior" Reyes has a previous burglary conviction, Santa Clara County prosecutor Bret Wasley said, and is not allowed to possess a gun. He told officers he was approached by a pair and shot "for no rhyme or reason," Wasley said.
