GULFPORT - A Gulfport man will spend the next 18 months in prison for having sexual intercourse with a horse.

Carl Patrick Brown, 30, pleaded guilty Tuesday in Harrison County Circuit Court to a charge of having intercourse with a horse. Prosecutors said the owner of the mare caught Brown in May 2001 on videotape. The tape would have been used at trial.

Brown must register as a sex offender when he is released from prison because the offense is considered a sex crime in Mississippi. Brown, who said he had used the drug ecstasy when he committed the crime, will be on probation for five years after his release.

I am dressed like everyone else: baggy jeans, baseball hat, scuffed sneakers. But in my mind, I have as much chance of blending in as a radioactive circus clown. There's enough money hidden under my clothes to buy a two-bedroom condo. And to top it off, there's $100,000 worth of yellow plastic casino chips jammed into the backpack slung over my right shoulder."

Tom, could this be what we saw in Hong Kong when we were wandering around?

"Out of misery, some extraordinary lessons

ONCE a week, on Sundays, Hong Kong becomes a different city. Thousands of Filipina women throng into the central business district, around Statue Square, to picnic, dance, sing, gossip and laugh. They snuggle in the shade under the HSBC building, a Hong Kong landmark, and spill out into the parks and streets. They hug. They chatter. They smile. Humanity could stage no greater display of happiness."
