The thrill of the hunt for hidden treasures has attracted countless enthusiasts to follow coordinates posted on a Web site and use a Global Positioning System device to find hidden "caches" filled with trinkets around the world. But in this state - rich in tradition and that fiercely protects its heritage - the sport, pronounced "GEE-oh-cash-ing," is not thrilling some lawmakers. The South Carolina House approved a bill Thursday that seeks to crack down on unwanted intruders who, lawmakers say, have insulted many families with inappropriate photos of people and knickknacks on headstones and sometimes using the land as a toilet. "I don't find it funny when someone comes to my relative's gravesite and puts little trinkets on it," said Rep. John Scott, D-Columbia. "It's very offensive to us in the African-American community."

A naked, samurai sword-wielding martial arts expert screaming, "I'm God! I'm immortal" hacked his wife to death yesterday in a blood-soaked Bronx rampage, police said. When the madman lunged at police, one cop fired 14 shots - bringing down the suspect but also hitting her partner twice. The cop's vest stopped one bullet from hitting his chest, though another slug penetrated his knee. New York Daily News - Samurai slaying |
