Party's Over at Restaurant Les Princesses d'Hochelaga with Topless Ban

Some people are willing to go extra lengths to improve business. In the Hochelaga-Maisonneuve borough of Montreal, the restaurant Les Princesses d'Hochelaga had topless waitresses attracting and serving customers for over eleven years. So popular was the restaurant that people from as far as Ontario and the United States would come to the restaurant for a visit. However, the Quebec Superior Court recently banned the practice of topless waitressing for that restaurant because it lacked a permit for erotic exhibition. Because it was located near the Olympic stadium, it couldn't get one either. After the ban, business dropped sharply, for obvious reasons. The restaurant had also lost its liquor license in 2008 and haven't renewed it until just recently.

Charlene Ferrero Dies After Sleepwalking into Lake and Drowning

Sleepwalkers have been known to do many strange things and totally forgetting about them afterwards, such as defecating publicly in the streets. Sometimes it can be fatal. Charlene Ferrero was a fifty-five-year-old woman who had a sleepwalking problem since she was a child. A few nights ago, her latest sleepwalking episode became fatal when she drowned in a lake after falling from a train trestle. She had gone out from her apartment in the middle of the night and unwittingly walked to her own death. Neighbors had reported to the police of a suspicious woman walking zombie-like in the streets, but apparently nothing was done. Teresa Cerini, Ferrero's neighbor, had encountered Ferroro that night, but did nothing to stop the dangerous sleepwalking. It wasn't until early next morning that her body was found floating up in the lake.

Sleepwalking has been blamed on genetics and sleeping pills such as Ambien. However, there's no conclusive evidence linking to either theories. There has yet to be a scientific explanation for this kind of behavior.

From Demonic Dog to Demon-Warding Pendants

Olga Horvat, an artist residing in New York, capitalized on the tragic accidental death of her poodle toy dog by using it as part of her dramatic sales pitch for demon-warding pendants.

Christmas Celebration Banned in Canadian School

In what some view as a forceful posturing of political correctness, an Ottawan school in Canada has decided to ban the traditional celebration of Christmas. That means that there would be no decorations, music, food, or anything else related to Christmas. Staff and students will have to put up with a generic arts and crafts day. Principal Rowland claimed that it was done out of respect for the multicultural aspect of the community.
