Man Accused of Blinding Wife With Carrot
July 18,2006 | MONROE, Conn. — A 46-year-old man is accused of assaulting his wife with a carrot, causing her to lose sight in one eye. Roderick Vecsey is charged with second-degree assault and disorderly conduct.
Pamela Vecsey, 46, underwent six hours of surgery after being hit in the left eye with the vegetable Saturday night, but doctors were not able to restore her vision, prosecutor Stephanie Damiani said.
The couple was arguing when Roderick Vecsey tossed the carrot, Damiani said.
Roderick Vecsey told Judge Patrick Carroll that it was a terrible accident, and was advised to remain silent.
The judge set a hearing for Thursday. Vecsey is currently free after posting $500 bond.

A new study shows that men who have older biological brothers, are more likely to be gay than those who don’t. The more older brothers he has, the greater the likelihood is.
“The link between having older brothers and homosexuality has long been established, but the new findings indicate firmly that conditions in the womb before birth, and not the subsequent family environment, are responsible.”
It’s yet unknown what those conditions may be, though there is speculation they may be related to the way the mother’s immune system reacts to carrying male foetuses. The Y chromosone in the male foestuses may be recognized as foreign and generate a stronger immune response, which increases which each subsequent pregnancy.
Below is the article from the Times on the study.
Apparently Los Angeles prosecutors do. According to this Reuters article, LA prosecutors are throwing the book to yoga teacher Bikram Choudhury, accusing him of running a studio without a license, overcrowding it and not maintaining emergency exits. Surely that’s not such a unique thing that requires a press conference?
I’ve never heard of Choudhury myself, but this really sounds like a vendetta in the part of the LA district’s attorney’s office. Don’t they really have anything better to do?
well, maybe not “on” up, but animals in the Sierra are definitely moving up. For years now nearly all vertebrates have migrated towards higher elevations – a predicted effect of global warming. The question is – what’s going to happen to the animals who already live at the top?
This interesting fact comes from the revamped California magazine, the Cal alumni association magazine which now carries more news, and more orbituaries.
