Ladies, What’s Your Size?
A nightclub in Singapore is attracting attention for a marketing strategy that offers free drinks according to women's bra sizes.
The OverEasy nightclub introduced the event 'Fill My Cups' recently to promote events hosted by Australian DJ DCUP.
The promotion allows A-cup patrons one free drink, B-cups two, C-cups three, and D-cups can claim a free bottle of vodka.
To determine bra size the promotion allowed for one male and one female judge to visually assess bra cup size, "They are not boob experts, and neither are they from a bra company. They are our personal friends who will simply guesstimate the women's bra cup sizes," said Ms Ho, "We don't condone touch tests," she said.

I had practice with animals, so I went ahead, put some pressure on it, and cut them to remove them by force!""When I saw that I could no longer count on her (his wife), so that I wouldn’t keep bothering her, I made the decision to cut my testicles off because I am a Christian and did not want to go look for another (partner)."The man is being treated at Santander Hospital where Dr. Javier Martinez said he is still healing: "He still has an escroto-penial hematoma. He's been looked at by the urology department, and they found a complete absence of the testicles."According to doctors, Sanchez's wounds have become infected.

City code fines woman $27,000
The used car was a blessing for Diane Pearson of North Port, a single mother with three children and a long commute to work. And after receiving the 1998 Mercury Sable from Lighthouse Baptist Church, she found her drive to Sarasota a bit less stressful.
But now she has a problem. North Port took Pearson to court over fines of more than $27,000 for keeping her old car in the driveway without a license plate. If the city wins its case, Pearson will be left in financial ruin.
Seems North Port is a city that likes to regulate and enforce many things -- from how often you mow your grass to the cars in your driveway. And one of their rules is cars in driveways must have a current plate.

Real life Elephant Man

An astonishing real life Elephant Man has been studied by surgeons after he emerged at a clinic in rural central China.
Yang Huiming, 28, suffers from a rare condition with huge tumors covering his face, including one huge central 'trunk' over his nose and up his forehead.
The growths began with a small bean-sized lump on his left eyelid as a toddler and quickly spread all over his face, say medics at Military 304 Hospital, in Beijing.
Surgeons believe the growths are caused by a rare deformity of Yang's skull which causes facial tissue to constantly grow over diseased fibers protruding from the skull.
Now they plan to remove the damaged part of Yang's skull and replace it with an alloy plate to halt the constant regrowth of fatty tumors.
"All I want is to look normal. I hope and pray this will work," said Yang.

Cash4Gold is a Scam!

Cash4Gold, the company that targets poor, desperate late-night TV watchers with endorsements by equally cash-strapped celebrities, is a scam! Okay, maybe you already knew that. But unless you're one of the poor people who dialed their 1-800 number, you don't know how they fleece customers—4 Cash!
The company's advertisements—which feature washed-up rapper MC Hammer—lure in customers with handfuls of money, but in reality pay only 11 to 29 percent of an item's market value, compared with pawn shops that pay 35 to 70 percent. One victim, church organist Frank Poindexter, received 15 cents for jewelry that had been appraised at $200. "I looked at the check and thought it was a mistake," Poindexter said "When I called them, they actually accused me of scamming them." After customers send in their jewelry for appraisal, Cash4Gold gives them only twelve days to get their goods back if they feel they've been low-balled. Sometimes when they protest they're told the jewelry has already been thrown in the furnace.

Florida man wanting ride to bar calls 911
Authorities say an Oldsmar Florida man who called 911 claiming he'd been beaten and shot at was hoping the tale would get him a ride to a bar.
Instead, 37-year-old Gregory J. Oras is facing charges of misusing the 911 system and battery of a law enforcement officer.
An arrest report says Oras called 911 three times before his arrest early Tuesday in Oldsmar, northwest of Tampa. He told the dispatcher he had a broken nose and bleeding ears, and claimed people were shooting at him.
Authorities say he was actually looking for a ride to another bar.
The report also says Oras kicked a Pinellas County sheriff's deputy in the knees and a Taser was used to subdue him.

What can go wrong when you steal a car?
A guy trying to steal a cop car filled with all kinds of cop stuff needs a lesson in crime.
First he accidentally Tazes himself. Then he accidentally locks himself up in handcuffs. Then he has to call the police to set him free.
Now Shane Thomas Williams-Allen of Orlando is in custody. He might be linked to as many as nine car burglaries around Clermont and Minneola.
One of them was an unmarked Ocoee cop car. Stolen from that car were a Tazer, an expandable baton, handcuffs, a Glock handgun magazine, a digital camera and a digital recorder, reports the Orlando Sentinel.
Williams-Allen, 19, discharged the Tazer and shocked himself. Cops caught up with him when he locked himself up with the handcuffs and had to call the cops to set him free.
He should plead guilty to stupidity.

Apartment tenants want privacy wall gone
Residents of a New York apartment building said their neighbors erected a four-story privacy wall that building tenants can touch from their windows.

Boy's science project prompts school evacuation
Fire officials said a San Diego middle school was evacuated when a student's science project was mistaken for a bomb. Fire-Rescue spokesman Maurice Luque said a vice principal's concerns prompted the evacuation of Millennial Tech Magnet Middle School Friday afternoon. Luque said an arson team took photos and x-rays of the empty plastic bottle with wires and determined it was harmless.
Luque says the 11-year-old boy was trying to build a motion detector from instructions he found on the Internet and parts he bought online with help from his father. His parents did not realize that the object looked threatening.
He said the student was "a genius-type kid" who undertook the project on his own, had no intentions of hurting anyone or causing any disruptions.
