Single or lonely Japanese men may get lucky this Christmas. One popular item for holiday shoppers is the "lap pillow," with skin-colored polyurethene calves folded under soft thighs -- a comfy cushion for napping, reading or watching television. For an extra 500 yen, you can get the model with two pleasure holes.

A New Zealand woman with Christmas lights on her house that play carols has been asked for an old favorite -- silent night. A noise-control officer told Robin Adams the carols coming from her decorations were too loud and asked her to turn off the lights.

Nursing home staff paid tribute to a 105-year old British woman who had smoked since the age of 15 by cremating her with a packet of cigarettes and laying a large floral cigarette on her coffin. Smoking is bad for you. It might take 90 years to kill but it does kill.

A businessman told a jury on Tuesday how he met a woman in a London nightclub who drugged him with the date-rate drug Rohypnol and stole his Rolex watch as he lay passed out at home. She should be punished to the full extend of the law. I mean, misusing medication is serious. Everything would have been fine if she would have just raped the dude. sheeeeesh!

An Italian town is setting donkeys to work mowing the grass on the side of its highways in an effort to save money and reduce pollution. The United States spent 3 million dollars to get a pen that would write in the 0 gravity of space. The Russians spent $0 to get a writing utinsel that would work in 0 gravity. They used a pencil. Who's the smart one now?

Osama bin Laden take note: You wouldn't be safe in Costa Rica. A startled taxi driver shot and wounded a jokester wearing a plastic mask of the al-Qaida leader. Blahahahahahahahahahah!

The story of Paco the Python is a serpentine tale of a pet snake accidentally shipped from Missouri to New Jersey in a box with a DVD player being sent for repairs. That would have been the end of the line for me.

And now, dumb criminals:
Another reason not to drink on the job. A suspect in at least two dozen Columbus-area armed robberies was arrested after police linked him to a can of beer. A witness to one home invasion told investigators that the robber was seen carrying an Icehouse beer in a paper bag. Based on that information, investigators looked at surveillance videotapes from nearby convenience stores and saw 25-year-old Mario Demarcus Brundidge buying the beer just 30 minutes before Nov. 9 robbery. Idiot. Hahahahahaha.

A man picked the wrong location for an alleged drug deal. Telling an eyewitness to mind his own business was also not a good idea. It was in front of the home of Lewis County's sheriff-elect, who was sitting on his front porch.


Actress Sharon Stone wants you to know her face is real. So she has sued a Beverly Hills plastic surgeon for defamation and libel for falsely claiming that he gave her a facelift.

A Lake County mom was arrested after a camera on a school bus caught her beating a student who had gotten into a fight with her daughter on a school bus, police said. Go to jail bitch.
