LONDON (Reuters) - Britain's Armed Forces have enlisted their first Satanist after a naval technician serving on a frigate was granted permission to practice his beliefs while at sea, the Ministry of Defense said Sunday. Defending the decision to allow a Satanist among the Royal Navy's ranks, a ministry spokesman said it was an "equal opportunities employer" and did not discriminate against specific religious beliefs. "He went to his commanding officer with a request to practice his beliefs on board his ship and it was granted ... We believe he is the first avowed Satanist to serve in the military, but there is no official register of beliefs," the spokesman said. The Sunday Telegraph newspaper said Chris Cranmer, 24, from Edinburgh, Scotland would be allowed to have a funeral carried out by the Church of Satan should he be killed in action. The Church of Satan was founded in the 1960s, but Satanism can refer to a diverse set of practices that include viewing Satan as a force of nature. Members of the church, which rejects Christian ideas of God and the Devil, follow 11 Satanic Rules of the Earth. The belief system has been condemned as a cult by some religious groups and at least one opposition politician expressed dismay after Cranmer won permission to practice Satanism aboard a Royal Navy ship. "I am utterly shocked by this," said Conservative parliamentarian Anne Widdecombe. "Satanism is wrong. Obviously the private beliefs of individuals anywhere including the armed forces are their own affair but I hope it doesn't spread," she said. |

Associated Press Oct. 6, 2004 08:40 AM KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - A Malaysian man has married for the 53rd time, tying the knot a second time with the first woman he wed. "I am not a playboy. I just love seeing beautiful women," said 72-year-old Kamaruddin Mohammed. In between marrying Khadijah Udin, in 1957 and again on Monday, he married 51 times, including to an Englishwoman and a Thai. He stayed with the Thai the longest, for 20 years. His shortest marriage lasted two days. All his previous marriages ended in divorce except with the Thai woman, who died of cancer, he said. "After she died I thought of Khadijah and sent several people to inquire. I didn't expect her to accept it," said Kamaruddin, who worked for several multinational companies before retiring in 1992. Despite all the repeat marriages, Kamaruddin says he is a one-woman man. "I don't like flings. I also don't believe in marrying more than one woman at a time," he said. He said he is very happy to be reunited with the 74-year-old Khadijah. Their first marriage lasted a year. Khadijah said she accepted Kamaruddin's proposal because she was living alone after the death of her third husband. "Kamaruddin also promised to look after me until the end of our lives and said he did not want to continue his habit of remarrying repeatedly," she said. |

TWO Papua New Guinea fishermen have bled to death after having their penises bitten off by pirahna-like river fish. The fish, which zero in on urine streams in the water, have struck terror among villagers along the Sepik River, in northwestern PNG. Authorities believe the killer fish is an introduced member of the South American pacu family and a relative of the piranha. In both of last month's fatalities, the fish demonstrated a trait of the piranha by following a trail of urine in the water, swimming to its source and then biting it off with razor-sharp teeth. Some believe the killer may be a food-source fish introduced from Brazil in 1994 by the United Nations Food and Agricultural Organisation (FAO) and the PNG National Fisheries Authority (NFO). However marine biologist and aquaculturist Ian Middleton said he believed they were a different species, introduced from across the PNG-Indonesia border. He denied the fish were the descendants of the pacu species introduced to the Sepik River in 1994 and the Ramu River at Madang in 1997 by the FAO and the NFA as a protein substitute. "The killer fish have the most human-like teeth on the bottom jaw I have ever seen and quite possibly feed on insects," he said. Middleton said the FAO/NFA-introduced pacu grew to 20 kilos and had no teeth. Pacu are mainly vegetarian but will adapt to eat almost anything. Middleton said he believed the killer fish had started biting humans because of a lack of naturally occurring food. "The reason for biting people on their genitals I believe is a result of the fish detecting a chemical change in the water, swimming up the urine trail and biting the genitals." Middleton said this behaviour was well-documented in the Amazon, where other species of the piranha family attack in response to urine or blood. He said people along the Ramu River were now harvesting the introduced pacu and there had been no reports of attacks on humans. "I do not believe that in over five years of research and careful consideration that the FAO and the NFA would be stupid enough to introduce such a hazardous species, nor any relative of the piranha," Middleton said. However the Director of the PNG Office of Environment and Conservation, Dr Wari Iamo, yesterday expressed "grave concern and dissatisfaction" at the way some government agencies and donor organisations had gone about importing exotic plant and animal species. "A classic example is the salvinia molesta (a floating water weed) control program in the Sepik during the 1980s which cost millions of kina (dollars) because someone accidentally introduced the weed into the river system," he said. "In the last two decades various agencies and individuals have introduced over 30 species of exotic fishes into the country." AAP |

MTV reality stars Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey are allegedly considering ending their marriage because the former 98 Degrees hunk is sick of her "dumb blonde" behavior. The Nick And Jessica: Newlyweds couple have shocked viewers with their outrageous fights on the show's second season which features Lachey calling Simpson a "pampered bimbo," starting speculation the couple are drifting apart. "They are pretty much living separate lives these days. I wouldn't be surprised if both of them are back on the market in a few months," an insider said to Britain's Daily Sport newspaper. Lachey reportedly complained, "If I'd wanted a bimbo, I would have married Paris Hilton." |
