"SHANGHAI (Reuters) - A Beijing worker who broke into luxury villas to steal property and get a good night's sleep has been jailed for a year, state media reported Tuesday.ADVERTISEMENT

The court heard that Ye, a migrant worker, broke into five villas "out of curiosity," took showers, tried on clothes and slept in beds -- even when the householders were at home, the Shanghai Daily said.

When Ye found a woman sleeping in the house on his third break-in, he took a carton of milk from the fridge and went to bed on a separate floor, the paper said.

"The woman went to work the next morning, but Ye stayed on. She returned in the evening. When she was on the first floor, Ye went to the second floor, and vice versa," the paper said.

Ye was eventually caught at his fifth villa when the owner came home at 2 a.m. and called the police, having found a bathed and clean-shirted man watching his TV, the paper said."

'Sephiroth' and 'Reno', arrested for Murder in germany

January 16, 2007 - It seems that flavour of the week right now is covering videogame-related injuries, deaths and misdemeanours. Now, according to a translated report by Expatica, two 15 year old teenagers in Germany have been arrested for murder.

Although not mentioned in the initial translation, it has now been revealed that the two teens used the aliases 'Sepheroth' and 'Reno' - taken from the iconic Final Fantasy VII characters. They allegedly stabbed a couple to death in their home. They were arrested after kidnapping a female friend and holding her hostage for an hour before giving themselves up.

The damning part of this whole incident, beyond the tragic and gruesome nature of the crimes, is that the broader media caught wind that the teens had a copy of Final Fantasy VII installed on their computer.

In Germany, Final Fantasy VII is now being referred to as a 'Killerspiele'; which translates as 'killer game'. Now not even the sacred Final Fantasy brand name is free from the taint of violent crime.

"Capitol Hill lawmakers invoke 2 Chron. 7:14, call for prayer

Members of Congress are issuing a bipartisan appeal for non-stop prayer. The Congressional Prayer Caucus Foundation -- a group of lawmakers who meet weekly for prayer -- held a news conference this week and urged Americans to commit to pray for the nation and its leaders for five minutes a week.

Founded by Congressman Randy Forbes (R-Virginia) in 2005, the Prayer Caucus -- an official caucus of the U.S. House -- meets every week that Congress is in session. According to Forbes, members of the Caucus gather together in Room 219 of the Capitol and "lay aside party affiliations, political agendas, and individual schedules" to pray together, focusing on God's promise found in 2 Chronicles 7:14: "If my people, who are called by my Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, will forgive their sin, and heal their land."

With its membership now nearing ten percent of the House, the Caucus recently announced plans to spread "219 Prayer Groups" across the country, the objective being to establish "spiritual blocks" that will comprise a "wall of prayer" around America. A page on the Prayer Caucus website -- PrayerCaucus.org -- promotes the effort and permits individuals to commit to pray five minutes a week for the nation and its leaders.

During a Wednesday news conference on Capitol Hill, congressmen issued the bipartisan appeal for non-stop prayer. Associated Press reports that Representative Al Green (D-Texas) said members of Congress need prayer support. "Every one of us who stands here today is here by the grace of God," Green declared. "Not one of us had earned the right to be where we are. So we should give God not only the prayers to deliver us, but also the glory once we are delivered."

Representative Mike Pence (R-Indiana) said praying Americans are like Hebrews during the Exodus, who supported the arms of Moses during battle. "Republicans and Democrats are coming together simply to ask the American people who cherish prayer to hold up our arms," he shared. "These are anxious times for our nation."

The Prayer Caucus receives no taxpayer support or funding, according to the group's website. Several current and former members of Congress serve as advisory members and speak on behalf of the group, "calling the nation back to prayer.""

a dutch politician also once did something similar, have been trying to look for an actual video that shows him saying the words, i know this youtube vid looks like a cut-n-paste job, but it's actually his voice (there's also a longer mp3 version available with more text, but since you all don't understand dutch anyway, this 0.39 sec clip gives a good impression)

the lyrics kind of go like this:
"this is minister Donner of jus-tice
and i work together with the po-lice"
