Extra, Extra
- Today on the Gothamist Newsmap: person on the track at 145th St. and St. Nicholas Ave. in Manhattan, a missing patient on Clarkson Ave. in Brooklyn, and a burn victim at the Ladder 41 firehouse in the Bronx.
- Koreannovation begins tomorrow. The trade show will feature all sorts of gadgets like an amplified vest that will allow MP3 players to blast without the discomfort of users sticking headphones in their ears.
- Lindsay Campbell crosses the line from journalist to activist, to actually be a journalist and find out what's happening. Arrested.
- Cops are warning area banks about a master of disguise bank robber who has donned everything from a rabbi outfit to a Indiana Jones hat. The one constant judging from the surveillance photos: he's middle-aged, fat, and florid, with a fashion sense to match.
- All three recently hatched baby hawks from Riverside Park are feared dead after one of their bodies was found and no sign is seen of the other two in their nest.
- A 25-year-old hospital morgue worker was sentenced to up to seven years in prison for having sex with the corpse of a 92-year-old woman in a NJ hospital.
- The greatest hits of forgotten items left in cabs, although we remember some diamonds that are not mentioned.
- On the waterfront, longshoremen were recognized for their contribution to the development of NYC. The rededication of a mural at the Brooklyn cruise terminal was part of the proceedings.

wow that must have been an awkward moment:
security guard: excuse me...what are you doing?
morgue worker: ...nothing...
It's against the law to have sex with the dead?
Hope my wife doesn't press charges.
Such interesting events, everyday should be full of events such as these.

A 92 year old woman? Couldn't he unwrap someone who's at least in her eighties?

Everyone has their own fetish. This person seriously needed him with his.
Coitus upon a cadaver,
The ultimate way one can have her.
The inanimate state,
Means a man needn't wait,
And eliminates idle palaver.
so - what did YOU do to wind up in here?
Sam Kinison's bit on necrophilia comes to mind...
"Cops are warning area banks about a master of disguise bank robber who has donned everything from a rabbi outfit to a Indiana Jones hat."
Y'know - just because one is dressed like a Hasid doesn't mean that they're automatically a rabbi... In Israel you can find guys who you would say are dressed like a "rabbi" and they'll be riding on the back of a garbage truck disposing of your refuse.
Longshoremen are SOOOOOOOOOO over - the kids are all about stevedores these days.
