Two children were bitten in the leg in the waters off New York's Fire Island on Wednesday in possible shark attacks, prompting beach closings, authorities said. Suffolk County police said they were investigating the separate incidents, which occurred less than 5 miles apart at Sailors Haven and Atlantique beaches. Both beaches were temporarily closed. A 13-year-old boy was bitten while on a boogie board at Atlantique beach and was treated at a hospital, according to Town of Islip spokeswoman Caroline Smith. EMTs at the scene removed a tooth from the boy's leg. At Sailors Haven beach, a 12-year-old girl suffered bite marks "consistent with a large fish" while wading, said Elizabeth Rogers, a spokeswoman for Fire Island National Seashore, which runs the beach.

‘Boys refused to play male lead to my Juliet
A woman who says she was so overweight that no boy would play the male lead when she was cast as Juliet in the school play has finally found love and will wed her real life Romeo after shedding the pounds. Ceri Poulton, 31, ballooned to a size 20 by gorging on chocolate for breakfast and scoffing kebabs, crisps, chips and pizza, sending her weight rocketing to over 15st after leaving secondary school. She said: “I have always been a big girl. Throughout school I was so overweight that when the boys found out I was playing Juliet in the school play none of them wanted to play Romeo and we had to get a girl to play the role. “I was 11-years-old, in Year Six and I heard all the boys say ‘no, I’m not doing it. It was pretty embarrassing. “Secondary school was easier for me. I used my quick wit and humour to gain popularity and my weight didn’t feel like such a big deal anymore. “I slowly gained weight through the 10 years following until I had my … [Read more...] about ‘Boys refused to play male lead to my Juliet

Idiot who boasted he was ‘boss of fire’ before pouring petrol on chiminea instantly regrets decision as garden is engulfed in flames
AN IDIOT boasted he was the 'boss of fire' before he poured petrol on a chiminea fire - which then engulfed the back garden in flames. Danny Eddison from Whalley instantly regretted the decision to pour the fuel on the fire as he attempted to put out the blaze with a saucepan of water, before retrieving a hose. Posting the clip on Facebook, Mr Eddison said: "Get a chiminea they said, it will be nice they said." In the footage, which has now received over one million views, he boasts: "You think that fire is the boss of me - no." "I am the boss of fire," he says. He then tips the petrol can over the already healthy blaze and within seconds the flames burst through the top of the chiminea as a friend says: "Oh f**k."
