how 'bout finding love on the net ====== Net surfer discovers new-found love kept corpse in freezer A 28-year-old man has given up using the internet after finding his new-found love was a pensioner with a corpse in the freezer. Trevor Tasker flew to America to meet Wynema Faye Shumate who posed as a sexy thirty-something on the web. Shumate was jailed for one year while Mr Tasker is back home in Selby, North Yorkshire. Mr Tasker flew to South Carolina after 65-year-old Shumate hooked him with sexy chat and sent him a semi-naked photo taken 30 years ago. His shock at the airport turned to horror when he discovered Shumate had put her dead housemate Jim O'Neil in the freezer. She kept him there for a year while she lived in his house and used his money. He had died of natural causes. She had also lopped off one leg with an axe because the body was too big for the freezer. Trevor, home with his mum in Selby, said: "I'll never log on again. When I saw her picture I thought 'Wow.' But when she met me at the airport I almost had a heart attack. I certainly won't go near that internet." Shumate pleaded guilty to fraud and unlawful removal of a dead body and was given a year in prison. Last updated: 09:25 Thursday 22nd February 2001

there is something wrong here ====== Hundreds of naked women force scientists to flee Three hundred naked female protesters have forced a group of scientists to flee a research project they were carrying out in Kenya. The experts were working on a census of rare red colobus monkeys near the Kenyan coast. The women opted to undertake the bare protest to draw extra media attention to their opposition to plans to turn the land into a national park. The scientists ran away, leaving their equipment behind them in the Mnazini area of the Tana River. Newspapers say the protesters damaged some of the equipment. Residents of the area are resisting plans to extend the Tana River Primate National Reserve because they don't want to be relocated.
