29th Dec 2011 End Of The Year News Tip-Bits

Dec 29
** Habitual thief delivered himself to the Police (Spain)
The ongoing economic crises affected, to different extend, all sectors, including the delinquency. A many times backslider thief voluntarily enter the police station confessing to 7 thefts he committed in the same neighbourhood in the past weeks. He succeeded having himself detained, a speedy court appearance, and be put in jail on Tuesday - the sole reason for his confession. More surprising than giving himself up, he even phoned the police yesterday who arrested him, thanking him saying he now has adequate food, fairly comfortable bed and warm clothing, plus medical care & protection, so much better and safer than being in the street.

Something is wrong with the society or the systems, or both, when one has to commit crime to be able to eat and have a roof over one's head, be protected and cared for. At least that seems to be the message the society is getting.

** GoodBye to Chita, a famous movie star (Hollywood)
One of the most veteran and lovable animal stars, the chimpanzee Chita, died on Christmas Eve at the age of 80, having survived all the main actors of that popular 'Tarzan' series. 


Johnny Weismuller (Tarzan) died, turned mad, in 1984, four months before his 80th birthday. Maureen O'Sullivan (Jane) and later mother of Mia Farrow, died in 1998 just after completed 87 years. John Sheffield, the child actor who played Tarzan and Janes adopted son (adopted so as not to defy the moral code of the era as the couple of the jungle were not married!) died in 2010, although he had been then 50 years away from the movie business.
