The things students leave behind...

A 6ft snake and a life-size skeleton are among the bizarre items left behind as students leave university halls for the summer.

Other items that made their way to lost and found were a giant white pet rabbit, some frozen chicken feet and a whip with a copy of the Karma Sutra.

The most common items that students forgot to take home were mobile phone chargers, text books, iPods, toothbrushes and shoes.

The ten most bizarre items:

1. 6ft snake;

2. A pole dancing pole;

3. Life-size skeleton;

4. A pair of budgies;

5. Giant white pet rabbit;

6. 10ft inflatable outdoor pool filled with water;

7. Frozen chicken feet;

Great Mug Shot

'Half-fro' mug shot of dealer caught mid-haircut
(Metro UK)

A drug dealer hauled in by the cops was furious after having an extremely bad hair day recorded on his mug shot.

Marcus Bailey, 25, is accused of foolishly stepping out mid-haircut to conduct a drug deal. His giant afro was being turned into braids meaning he looked likes someone had taken a shearer through a third of his hair.

But cops were waiting for him to make the deal and pounced, refusing to allow him to clear up his hair for prison.

Nice Melons

Women sue over 'watermelon advert'

A group of Bulgarian women are suing a drinks firm over an ad which shows a woman in a bikini under the slogan: 'the watermelon season is here'.

The ad, featuring a model in a melon-coloured bikini, has infuriated women's groups who say the country's men are already bad enough without any encouragement.

Now a group of 13 women are suing manufacturers Peshtera.

"You can't walk down the street now without some a**hole shouting, 'Hey - nice watermelons' and trying to see if they are ripe," a spokeswoman said.

"The advert encourages sexism and is causing women real harm and humiliation," said one woman.

The claim has already been filed with local justice authorities.

"This advert deeply and permanently discriminates against us as women, illegally infringes our personal lives, and violates European law on equal treatment of sexes in the provision of services," it states.

Honest for a Moment

As a radio DJ, I enjoy interacting with almost everyone (if you are an a-hole - then I don't enjoy it), but I want to be honest for a minute about request...

We here at radio can tell when a band informs their "street team" or fanbase when to hit up a station and request the crap out of a song... and I'll be honest, when this happens I start to refuse to play it. Not because it's a bad song or that "I don't want to give the people what they want"... I just know that when a load of request come in for some random song that is not being played on our station that the "street team" is on the move.

Please understand where I am coming from on this... it's nothing against the band, but it's annoying when everyone and their mother are "on point" making request because their new favorite band told them to...

56 Stars or Scares

(Ananova)

Teen wakes up seeing stars

A Belgian teenager is suing a tattooist for £10,000 after claiming she woke up with 56 stars on her face.

Kimberley Vlaminck, 18, claims Rouslan Toumaniantz spoke such bad English and French that he misunderstood her at the Tattoo Boy studio in Courtrai, Belgium.

She claims she fell asleep while the tattooist went to work and woke up to find 56 stars on her face.

"It is horrible," sobbed Kimberley. "He has turned me into a freak. I can't go out on the street now without people looking at me."

However, Mr Toumaniantz insists she "got what she wanted" - and only complained when her dad got angry and her boyfriend dumped her.

Miss Vlaminch wants compensation to undergo laser treatment to remove the tattoos, but even after the treatment - that will cost upwards of 10,000 Euros, she is likely to be left with scars for life.

"Only 1 DWI Arrest at Cowboy Stadium Opening"

This is quite an amazing statistic when you think about it: With over 60,000 Texans boozing and listening to country music, one might have thought that there would be plenty of DWI suspects leaving the new Cowboy Stadium Saturday night. The cops, however, only caught one.

His name: Jack Hill, who, ironically, was was in charge of the construction of the $1.15 billion dollar facility and is the current general manager of the stadium. After celebrating opening night at the stadium, Jack opted to drive himself home and police discovered he was intoxicated while investigating a fender bender he was involved in not far from the stadium.

Can't Remember Last Night?

(Ask Men/The Complete Sheet)

TEN TIPS ON HOW TO RETRACE A DRUNKEN NIGHT:

Drinking until you blackout is never a good idea. But if you DO wake up with a hangover and no idea what happened the night before, you should do your best to remember.

#1.) Take stock of where you are and what you're wearing: Do you know where you are? Are you naked? Any distinctive stains, smells, or rips that jog your memory?

#2.) Feel for aches and pains: Are your calves sore, like you ran from something? Does it feel like you've been in a fight?

#3.) Search for receipts: Check your pockets, your wallet, and the area around your bed for receipts that could place you in a specific location at a specific time the night before.

--That includes ATM receipts . . . which is also a good time to make sure you didn't overdraw your account.

#4.) Count your money: Assuming you know what you started with, this should tell you just how much fun you had. Finding MORE than you started with is never a good sign.

#5.) Check your credit cards: Go online and retrace your steps using your credit card statement.

#6.) Look at your call history: Don't just check the numbers on your call log, pay attention to the call length. Did you leave an embarrassing message when you drunk-dialed your ex, or did you spend the better part of an hour with them?

#7.) Don't forget social networks: Be sure to delete any drunk-dialed Twitter comments or Facebook statuses.

#8.) Gather visual evidence: While checking your phone and Internet activity, see if you took any photos or video. Also check YouTube for any hot new "drunk guy" videos that might feature YOU.

#9.) Watch your roommate's reaction: Are they afraid of you, or angry with you. If they just look at you and laugh, that's just as bad.

#10.) Call your friends: As a last resort, you can call the people you started the night with . . . and make sure there are no warrants out for your arrest.

Leftover Beer Recipe

(Premiere Prep)

WAYS TO USE YOUR LEFTOVER BEER

You might have partied hard over the weekend -- but fallen short. There still might be beer in your fridge.

Don't worry. There's no dishonor in this. In fact, it may be a blessing in disguise.

Here are some ways to use beer that don't involve chugging or guzzling...

1. Beer and Cheese Dip -- Put two pounds of shredded cheddar cheese in a large bowl along with a finely chopped small onion, two cloves minced garlic, a dash of hot sauce and a sprinkle of ground red pepper. Then pour in a bottle of beer and beat it all together using a hand mixer.

2. Marinate Meat - The alcohol in beer acts as a tenderizer and infuses the meat with flavor. Pour a beer, some lime juice and few cloves of minced garlic into a Ziplock bag and marinate some tasty meat.

3. Get Garden Slugs Wasted - Pour a little beer into several jar lids and place the lids in several spots around your garden. Slugs will go to the beer instead of your plants. (Look for the slugs to zig-zag home...)
