Learning About Your Girl

(Premiere Prep)

When guys start dating women, there's a slow unveiling of the truth. Smart women try to play up their positive attributes -- and hide their flaws.

This can go on for months, with guys never really knowing the full truth. In fact, guys can marry their girlfriend and then, finally, learn the truth -- only by then it's too late.

One thing that can shake things up and speed up the learning process is vacationing together.

In strange lands, under pressure and always around, women are more likely to let their guard down. Guys can get a real sense of who their girlfriend REALLY is when they're traveling together.

It's actually not a bad idea to take a trip with your girlfriend before you move in with her -- and certainly before you marry her ...

Haunted By the Past

Nun sues over naked Facebook photos

(Ananova)

A novice nun is suing her ex-boyfriend in Italy after he uploaded pictures of her naked on Facebook.

The 31-year-old woman who lives in Turin said she was devastated when she saw the pictures, taken in summer 2006 during a holiday in Sicily, on the social networking site.

The man who said he wanted to stop her becoming a nun has refused to remove the pictures despite the woman's requests.

Now lawyer Anna Orecchioni has taken action and said: "My client doesn't want money, she only wants that he respects her decision to become a nun."

Large numbers of Italians meanwhile have logged on to see the pictures leaving comments like: "If all the nuns are like that, I want to become a priest."

"Man 'broke into house and had sex with dog"

(Metro UK)

A man in the US has been arrested for allegedly breaking into a house to have sex with a dog.

Christopher Bagwell, 26, is accused of entering a home in Farmington, West Virginia while the owner was at work.

A friend of the person who owned the house had stopped by to leave off some possessions when she said she caught Bagwell having sex with the owner's dog, a male Australian shepherd, border collie mix.

She said: "His pants were down around his ankles and the dog was making an awful sound."

At the time, she called Bagwell a "sick bastard" and he let go of the dog.

"The dog jumped down off the chair and ran over towards the love seat. At that time Chris started towards her, pulling his pants up," the police report said.

Bagwell has been charged with burglary and animal cruelty.

Dose of Ironic

"Drunken flight lands jockeys in hot water"

(ABC AU)

Three jockeys have been fined and banned from racing for a month after taking beers onto a commercial flight as they returned from a responsible drinking seminar.

Thoroughbred Racing South Australia's stewards yesterday found jockeys Garry Hoobin, Paul Marks and Sean Harrison guilty of prejudicing the sport.

The incident happened on a Regional Express flight from Adelaide to Mount Gambier.

The men were said to have taken 12 beers onto the one-hour flight and were drinking them, despite warnings from the flight attendant not to open them.

The Australian Federal Police were called to investigate the incident.

The jockeys had been in Adelaide for the day attending a racing industry-funded seminar on the responsible consumption of alcohol.

They have been fined $500 and received a year's ban on all Regional Express flights.

Marks is still under investigation from the Civil Aviation Authority for allegedly failing to put on his seat belt.

Bra for guys?!?!

Bra for men

(Ananova)

A bra made especially for men is taking Japan by storm.

Mail order company Wishroom started selling the unusual underwear last year.
Unsure of its reception, at first they only produced 160 bras as the start. These sold out immediately, prompting the company to order 5,000 more.

Wishroom president Masayuki Tsuchiya says demand from customers prompted the company to create the male bra.

In Japan, men who wear bras are known as "Bra-o", which means "Bra men".

Wishroom's bras are available in a choice of white, pink and black and retail for around £20. They are all A cup size with chest size ranging from 32ins to 38ins.
According to Mr Tsuchiya, office workers in their 30s and 40s are Wishroom's main clients.

"Japanese salary men have a lot of stress, and the bras seem to relieve that," he said.

Another, more surprising, market has proven to be in their 50s and 60s who, it turns out, also partial to the calming effects of a bra.

"They were the generation we had been told were manly - they led Japan in the post-war period," explains Tsuchiya, speculating they may now be reacting against this stereotype.

She lifted what with her what?

"Russian lifts 14kg with vagina, sets record"

(Metro UK)

A Russian woman has set a new world record in the competitive world of vagina lifting by raising 14kg using her ... hmmm ... well you know.

Tatiata Kozhevnikova of Novosibirsk, aged 42, has been in training for 15 years and has finally won the bragging rights after lifting a 14kg glass ball.

This topic is quite frankly too weird and not “radio friendly”.

She says she exercises her vagina 5 minutes a day.

Scarecrow Arrested

Police scarecrow arrested

(Ananova)

A joke scarecrow dressed as a policeman with a fake speed radar gun was arrested by a real officer.

The 7ft tall scarecrow was put on the roadside to promote a village scarecrow festival while also encouraging motorists to slow down, reports the Daily Telegraph.

However, a passing policewoman thought it "inappropriate" and took it away in her patrol car within four hours of it being put up in Brancaster, Norfolk.

The scarecrow was reported stolen by festival organiser Miranda Skillings, 56, who had got permission from police to put up the fake traffic officer.

After three hours Norfolk Police located the scarecrow and an officer was sent to replace it - without the fake speed gun.

Mrs Skillings said: "We always put up a couple of scarecrows early to encourage people to take part and this year we decided to make a policeman with a speed gun.

"I thought it would have the added benefit of slowing down motorists who come speeding through the village."

Insp Dave Buckley said: "We gave permission for the organisers to create a scarecrow of a police officer - but the owner of the scarecrow used a plastic drinks bottle to symbolise a speed radar gun.

"As a result an officer removed the scarecrow as it portrayed an incorrect and inappropriate message to passing motorists.

"Speed radars are used to prevent casualties on our roads and to address the irresponsible actions of motorists. They should not be re-created by the roadside in jest."
