K-Fed & Kids

Kevin Federline has really gotten in touch with his parental side since taking full custody of his kids. K-Fed has decided to ditch the rap career and launch a children's clothing line.

He tells Women's Wear Daily, "I'm trying to take it seriously and make a quality product for kids but not have parents pay something ridiculous for a pair of jeans. You buy your kids a pair of True Religions, then they roll around in the dirt like kids do and a 200-dollar pair of jeans is gone."

6,000+ Piercings

(Ananova)

When first recognised by Guinness World Records in 2000, Elaine Davidson had 462 piercings, with 192 in her face alone.

Now, nine years later, she has 6,005 including more than 1,500 that are "internal", reports the Daily Telegraph.

However, Miss Davidson, born in Brazil, claims she doesn't like being pierced, and suffers for her art.

She said: "I don't enjoy getting pierced, but to break the record you have to get to a high level. I wanted to break the record.

"My family don't even like tattoos or piercings. But I am happy. I decided to change myself and be me."

Miss Davidson, a nurse who now lives in Edinburgh, was speaking in Darlington, Durham, as she opened a new piercing studio.

Bear Sleeping Bag

A sleeping bag that looks like a bear might seem like a great idea, unless a bear tries to mate with you. Or as furries would call it, "dying and going to heaven"

The digital transition has left some confused, but a Joplin man was down right frustrated with the switch. So frustrated, in fact, that he peppered his television set with gunfire.

Police responded to the man's house Wednesday after reports of shots being fired inside.

Turns out the 70-year-old gunman was livid over losing cable and could not get his digital converter box to work. Police took Walter Hoover into custody after a brief standoff and charged him with unlawful use of a firearm.

Hoover's wife told police that he had been drinking before the incident.

SANDY, Utah — A stash of grass can take the place of a lot of gas, but it won't do anything for mileage.

A Utah man took his newly acquired used SUV to a mechanic to find out why the gas gauge always read half-full.

The mechanic in Sandy looked inside the gas tank and found about 35 pounds of marijuana in plastic-wrap packages that filled about half of the tank's volume.

Police estimate the pot is worth about $35,000.

The Nissan Armada has had several different owners and was once a rental car.

Sandy police are trying to figure out who stashed the pot but say the current owner is not a suspect.

Investigators in the town south of Salt Lake City say the drug packs could have been in the tank for months.

Longest Ear Hair

(Metro UK)

It's important to have a goal in life. Indian grocer Radhakant Baijpai certainly has one - to make sure that he has the longest ear hair in the world.

Radhakant was crowned the official Guinness world record holder for the longest ear hair back in 2003, when his aural fronds were an already-impressive 13.2cm long. But that didn't stop him pursuing his goal of ever-longer hair on his ears.

After several more years of carefully cultivating and caring for the ear-hair, Radhakant's tufts now stretch an astonishing 25cm. He is now waiting for Guinness adjudicators to confirm that he has set a new high, hairy bar for his chosen field.

Radhakant, from Uttar Pradesh in northern India, acknowledges that his wife has, at times, wished that he would cut his ear hair off - but he says that she has agreed to let him keep it, as it is a source of pride.

His 25-year-old son is already displaying signs of growing similar ear-hair - although only time will tell if the son can eventually take the place of the father, standing triumphant atop the pinnacle of human ear-hair achievement.

Moon Scare

(Ananova)

A Chinese thief who was chased into a dead end tried to scare off his pursuers by dropping his trousers and mooning at them.

Passers-by gave chase after the man forced open a motorcycle pannier and stole a woman's purse in Fuzhou city.

Shoppers and traders chased the thief into a cul-de-sac after the victim, Ms Wei, raised the alarm, reports Straits News.

"Just as we were about to catch up with him, he suddenly dropped his pants and flashed his butt towards us, shaking his waist," said Ms Wei.

The shocked pursuers didn't know what to do for a second before one man stepped forward and grabbed the thief, telling him to pull up his pants.

The criminal reportedly told police that he had realised he was trapped and came up with the escape plan when he realised many of his pursuers were women.

"I thought that if they covered their eyes out of modesty, I could then grab the opportunity to escape," he said.

Cow Urine Pop

(Ananova)

India's Hindu nationalist movement says it is in the final stages of developing a new soft drink made from cow urine.

The Cow Protection Department of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh, India's biggest and oldest Hindu nationalist group, is behind the new brew, reports The Times.

Department head Om Prakash said the drink - called "gau jal" or "cow water" - was undergoing lab tests and would be launched "very soon, maybe by the end of this year".

"Don't worry, it won't smell like urine and will be tasty too," he said. "Its USP will be that it's going to be very healthy. It won't be like carbonated drinks and would be devoid of any toxins."

Mr Prakash said his drink was made mainly of cow urine, mixed with herbs, and would be "cheap", but declined to give further details until it was officially launched.
He insisted, however, that it would be able to compete with the likes of Coca Cola and Pepsi.

"We're going to give them good competition as our drink is good for mankind," he said. "We may also think of exporting it."
The drink is the latest attempt by the RSS to cleanse India of foreign influence and promote its Hindu ideology.

Hindus revere cows and slaughtering them is illegal in most of India. The RSS claims cow urine can cure ailments ranging from liver disease to obesity and even cancer
The movement organised a nationwide boycott of multinational consumer goods, including Pepsi and Coca Cola, in 1994.

A Special V-DAy

Nearly half of American women take Valentine's Day so to heart they would give up something special - like sex or chocolate - for a month in order to have an "awesome" holiday, a new poll has found.

The online joint survey by BlogHer and iVillage, "Valentine's Day: Heaven or Hell?" sought to determine if women loved or loathed it.

"We wanted to know: Does this holiday actually pluck at the heartstrings of women, or is this commercial pressure?" said Lisa Stone, co-founder and CEO of BlogHer. "The answer was . . . they really care."

About 44 percent of 13,192 surveyed said they'd sacrifice something for a month to have an "awesome" V-Day: 4 percent would do without sex; and 8 percent said they'd give up "anything!"

"There is so much pressure on Valentine's Day," Stone said. "Do you have a significant other or not? Do you care? . . . It turns out that women enjoy celebrating the romance."

Top 10 Arcade Games

(Spike TV)

The days of the traditional arcade seem numbered today. Every modern console has a virtual “arcade” with downloadable content of all their classics. Why go to the corner and pump quarters into Street Fighter when you can fight the same fights on your couch? It’s because they’re not the same. Just as Netflix isn't the same as going to a movie in an turn-of-the-century opera house, there's nothing that beats an old school arcade game.

10. Mortal Kombat

9. NBA Jam

8. Space Invaders

7. Defender

6. Galaga

5. Missile Command

4. Centipede

3. Super Street Fighter 2

2. Pac-Man

1. Donkey Kong

Donkey Kong stands atop the gigantic, red, tower of girders that makes up this list and throws barrels with abandon at all the suckas below him. This game was the one of the first to have levels, is the source of the documentary King of Kong, and gave video-birth to Donkey himself and the Mario Bros. All of this is important, obviously, but what really put it over the top for me, is I view this as the seed which eventually grew into the tree of Super Smash Bros.

Pecker in the Pants

(AFP)

An Australian man was caught with two live pigeons stuffed in his trousers as he got off a flight from the Middle East, authorities said Tuesday.

Customs officers body-searched the 23-year-old after he was allegedly found with two bird eggs in a vitamin container in his pocket during baggage checks at Melbourne Airport on Sunday.

"The man was taken to a private interview room and Customs and border protection officers found he was wearing tights with a live pigeon concealed in each leg," Customs said.

The man, who had come off a ten-hour flight from Dubai, was also allegedly carrying plant seeds in a money belt and eggplant samples in his bag.

"Wildlife smuggling is not only cruel to the animals involved, it poses a severe risk to the Australian environment and the health of the Australian community," said Customs wildlife spokesman Richard Janeczko.

The offences carry a maximum penalty of 10 years in jail and a 110,000 dollar fine (70,000 US dollars).
