-- judge tells pregnant deaf attorney that deaf cannot be parents
It only happens in Australia where deaf attorney Rania Saab,
herself a mother of two, is told by the judge that the deaf
cannot be parents! She was representing a deaf client, involved
in a custody battle. She lost the case, saying discrimination
against the deaf in Australia is pretty much bad. A picture

-- deaf sleep vs hearing sleep
When sleeping, do deaf dream better than hearing?
Three researchers at the Bunkyo University in
Japan ran a study, comparing a group of deaf
sleepers and hearing sleepers. When they woke
up, they were asked questions about their
dreams. These reesarchers said deaf remember
their dreams better than hearing!
-- text-writing during a robbery
A hearing robber pointed a gun at a deaf man,
who immediately said he was deaf. The robber
then used his cell phone to type a text demanding
money while at the same time holding his gun.
The scared deaf man gave up his money, and the
robber ran away. This is unusual - robbers tend
to be panicky, don't do things carefully.
