Monterrey, Mexico (WFN) -- God must not be interrupted. Ringing cell phones at four catholic churches in Mexico have become such a problem during Mass that the churches are now illegally jamming the cell phones with Israeli-made transmitters. "The Arizona Republic "reports the transmitters, which are the same kind used to protect embassies and presidential motorcades from bugs and bombs detonated by phone, overwhelm churchgoers' phones with electronic noise that it causes incoming calls to be bounced to voice mail. KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia -- A Malaysian man has shot and killed what he thought was a monkey in a tree behind his house picking fruit. But it wasn't a furry-tailed creature -- it was his wife. "The New Straits Times "reports the 70-year-old man is now in police custody. LONDON -- Rescue dogs may soon be replaced by rescue rats. "New Scientist" magazine says scientists in the United States are teaching rats how to track down human scents and have identified the brain signals that are generated when that happens. Electrodes implanted in their brains will send signals to a radio transmitter pack strapped to the animal's back while rescuers on the surface track the signal and locate any survivors. CORTE MADERA, Calif. -- South Beach Diet, meet the North Beach Diet. The Executive Chef at the Il Fornaio restaurants has created the so-called new "North Beach Diet." It allows eaters 2,500 calories a day and emphasizes whole grains, complex carbs and vegetable-based dishes and is named for the North Beach neighborhood in San Francisco. The diet will be unveiled at the chain's restaurants on September 29th.
