UGH, As If I Didn't Think Airplane Waste Was Nasty Enough..

"House hit by frozen urine"

A FURIOUS couple are to sue an airline after a block of frozen URINE smashed through their roof.

The one square foot block crashed into their house in Hartberg, Austria, before shattering on the ground.

Now Hans and Irene Schueler have demanded air traffic control chiefs hand over details of flight movements over their home so they can claim compensation from the airline responsible.

"They're lucky it didn't hit them and they don't see why an airline should get away with it," said one neighbour.

ST. POELTEN, Austria (CNN) -- Josef Fritzl, the Austrian man accused of repeatedly raping his daughter in a cellar dungeon for decades, has admitted guilt on all charges, including responsibility for the death of one of seven children he fathered by his daughter.

Fritzl had already pleaded guilty to incest and other charges, but previously denied charges of murder and enslavement.

But on Wednesday Fritzl told the court in St. Poelten, 70 kilometers (40 miles) west of Vienna, he had changed his mind after watching his daughter Elisabeth's video testimony earlier in the week.

In a weak voice, the 73-year-old said he was in the cramped cellar when the baby, called Michael Fritzl, was born.

He noticed the child was breathing heavily, he said, but did not think the baby would die and opted not to seek medical attention.

Fritzl told the court he was therefore probably responsible for the child's death. He had previously told police he had burned the baby's body in a furnace.

"This is a major development in this trial," said CNN's Frederik Pleitgen. "The murder charge is really the centerpiece of this whole trial because only a murder conviction could get Josef Fritzl a life sentence." Watch what Fritzl's new plea means for the case »

Fritzl's new plea could speed proceedings although the jury must still decide on his guilt or innocence, a court spokesman said. "The admission of guilt alone is not enough," spokesman Franz Cutka told reporters.

Observers had said the murder charge might be difficult to prove because the only evidence was testimony from Elisabeth and a neo-natal expert. A verdict had been expected on Thursday.

Wednesday's proceedings will involve psychiatrists talking about Fritzl and his daughter, and a technical expert who will testify about the construction and living conditions of the cellar.

Austria's Dungeon Dad Says Daughter's Glue Sniffing Led to Imprisonment

I remember first seeing this case a while ago originally there, on Perzhilton.com, and read this tonight:

"Y'all remember the sick story of Austria's Josef Fritzl from last year? You know, that guy who raped his daughter up to three times a day, fathered her babies and kept her locked in a dungeon for 24 years?

Well, some of the sick fuck's 'reasons' for doing what he did has come to light.

Apparently, notes from his psych evaluation sessions have leaked. Fritzel told the doctor, "She had been sniffing cleaning fluids and I decided I should talk with her in my cellar. Because in the coming days she showed no improvement in her attitude, I decided to keep her locked up."
There was no better way to get her help????
The man is seriously disturbed! "
