Witnesses say a woman repeatedly abused her 14-year-old and 5-year-old daughters, tying them to a bed without food or water, forcing them to eat toilet tissue with dog feces on it, and making the youngest sleep in a dog crate, authorities said Friday.
Penny Lea Holloway, 42, of Broken Arrow also allegedly forced one of her children to take anti-psychotic medication and left the pair alone for days on end, according to reports.
Holloway, who was arrested Thursday night at her home in the 8500 block of South 193rd East Avenue, was moved from Broken Arrow to the Wagoner County jail on Friday. She is charged with four counts of child abuse.

Smoking scenes are to be edited out of classic Tom and Jerry cartoons, following a complaint to the broadcast regulator that they are inappropriate for a show aimed at children.
The complaint was about two separate cartoons - Texas Tom and Tennis Chumps - transmitted repeatedly this year on Turner Broadcasting's children's channel, Boomerang.
Boomerang's audience is made up largely of children - 56% are aged four to 14 years old.

Trap-jaw ants: fastest animal ever
Their jaws spring shut at more than 100 km/h (66mph)- the fastest recorded speed at which an animal can move its body parts.
The pictures also reveal these tiny creatures, native to Central and South America, do more with their vicious jaws than simply giving a nasty nip.
By biting the ground, the ants hurl themselves upwards when danger looms.

31 rules for the amusement park
It's summer and if you have friends, there is a 100 percent chance you'll spend some time at an amusement park. If you don't have friends, don't worry, just hang tight and keep listening to Jim Rome.
For the rest of us, the amusement park offers the perfect escape from the mind-numbing reality of summer TPS reports and minimizing the window on your computer screen when your boss walks by. Being spun around, upside down and inside out somehow makes the sky seem bluer and the air cooler. It also makes your favorite sports team (who is in the process of planting their flag squarely upon the shores of loserdom) almost palatable. Of course, you might throw up, but everything that's really worth doing carries the risk of throwing up.
Recently, I spent the day at Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio. It just so happened I went during the middle of the week, which in Cedar Point terminology, is known as the unemployed skirt chasers' national holiday. My younger cousins accompanied my wife and I, and as a group, we managed to ride every roller coaster in the place.

Darmin Garcia, an employee of a company that supplies chocolate ingredients, said he was pushing the chocolate down into the vat at Debelis Corp. because it was stuck. But it became loose and he slid into the hopper.
"It was in my hair, in my ears, my mouth, everywhere," said Garcia, who has worked at the company for two years. "I felt like I weighed 900 pounds. I couldn't move."
The chocolate was 110 degrees Fahrenheit, hotter than a hot tub, said Capt. Greg Sinnen of the Kenosha Fire Department.

In case you were wondering where your mail is

Phoenixville Library haunted?
NBC 10's Tim Furlong sat down with a local Ghostbuster to review photos and videotape of possible paranormal activity at Phoenixville Library.
Furlong and Cindy Starr-Witman of Chester County Paranormal Research Society sat down Tuesday and looked at two pieces of evidence.
The first piece of evidence was a still photo, taken in the library, of what Starr-Witman calls an "orb."

Top ten UNmanliest superheroes
You had to have seen it coming. I mean, we couldn’t have a Top Ten Manliest Superheroes without a Top Ten Un-Manliest Superheroes could we? Well, we can’t, and you shouldn’t expect anything less from our blatant attempts at mediocre sensationalism.
In case you missed all the action last week, here’s a link to our Top Ten Manliest Superheroes. I recommend you read that before you read this, cause you can’t know what a manly man isn’t unless you know what he is. Oh, and lets all just remember that this is for fun people? Got it? Great, good, on to the insanity.

The top ten manliest superheroes
It seems these Top Tens might become a weekly affair here for the foreseeable future or until we ‘jump the shark’ and do a Top Ten with something about ‘babes’ in comics. God, I’m dreading the day I ever do it, but we aren’t above making other, very important and very serious, Top Tens that are formed with an exacting science, applied to rigorous tests, and made from only the finest ingredients.
Keeping that in mind, we’ve decided to bring you the Top Ten Manliest Superheroes. Now what makes a superhero manly? I like to think a ‘manly’ man is best known for his lack of knowledge on fashion, his chauvinist attitude toward feelings (marked by a great emotional dysfunction), and his general willingness to fight at the drop of a hat. Taking this all into consideration, we give you the Top Ten Manliest Superheroes...

0 comments10 best Robot Chicken sketches
Seth Green’s made it hip to be a nerd again. Who knew the dude who was the werewolf from Buffy the Vampire Slayer was, in fact, a comic genius? We’ve been enjoying RC for the last two years, and it’s about damn time we spread the love. So for all you stoners, drunks and lollygaggers that haven’t seen the show—named, apparently, for a meal on a Chinese food menu—we present to you the 10 best sketches Robot Chicken has ever offered up.
I'm a little upset because World's Most One-Sided Fistfights didn't make the list.
