NEW YORK (AFP) - A former New York doorman who slipped on a pile of
pigeon droppings on a subway station's stairs has been awarded six
million dollars in compensation, according to a report on Monday.

Fifty-six-year-old Shelton Stewart slipped on the station steps in 1998,
injuring his neck and back, despite saying he had noticed the pile of
excrement on his way to work the same day, the New York Post reported.

you get 6 million usd just by falling down from a pool of pigeon's poop!?
lame!!! what kind of rule is that. lol.

effortlessness way in earning money ah.

another interesting news
GI saves Iraqi boy in long-shot adoption

There were so many reasons why he couldn't bring a handicapped Iraqi boy
into his world.

He had no wife or home; he knew nothing of raising a disabled child; he
had little money and planned to run for district attorney in his home
county.

Just as important, Iraqi law prohibits foreigners from adopting Iraqi
children.

Southworth prayed and talked with family and friends.

His mother, who had cared for many disabled children, explained the
difficulty. She also told him to take one step at a time and let God work.

On New Year's Eve, his cell phone rang. It was Ala'a.

"What are you doing?" Scott asked him.

"I was praying,'" Ala'a responded.

"Well, what were you praying for?"

"I prayed that you would come to take me to America," Ala'a said.

Southworth almost dropped the phone. Ala'a knew nothing of his efforts,
and he couldn't tell him yet for fear that the boy might inadvertently tell
the wrong person, upending the delicate process.

"We crossed political boundaries. We crossed religious boundaries.
There was just a massive effort — all on behalf of this little boy who
desperately needed people to actually take some action and not just feel
sorry for him," Southworth says.
