Men, blue hair isn’t for the senior set any more, particularly if it belongs to the Playboy Bunny of your dreams, a woman wilder than you thought was possible. If you pick up the November issue of Playboy (available October 16, 2009), you’ll see her – Marge Simpson, in all her glory. Well, sort of.
Marge, as November’s cover girl, doesn’t show you quite everything; a few things are tastefully left to the imagination. She is also the subject of a three-page spread and an article titled, The Devil in Marge Simpson.
So, how does Marge Simpson measure up to Marilyn …read more

After the tragic loss of her 21-year-old son, Marissa Evans still wanted a grandchild and it seems she found a way. On Tuesday, Travis County Probate Judge Guy Herman granted permission for the sperm of Nikolas Colton Evans to be collected post mortem.
Nikolas died on Sunday after being punched and falling during an assault on Sixth Street in Austin on March 27. “I want him to live on,” Evans told the Stateman. “I want to keep a piece of him.”
His mother plans to have a surrogate mother impregnated with her dead son’s sperm.
Though I had never heard of something like …read more

Size does matter according to John Coates, the author of a stock trading study. He found that men with longer ring fingers relative to their index fingers seem to be better at high-stakes, fast-paced stock trading as compared to those whose index finger was almost as long as their ring finger. Honestly. I’m not making this up. Researchers gathered together 44 male stock traders working in high finance arenas making quick decisions with large amounts of money and measured their right hands. The study then followed these traders for the next 20 months and discovered that those whose ring fingers …read more

Bored with the traditional pedicure? Then hop on over to a Washington DC-area salon where teeny carp are used eat away the dead skin on your feet, leaving them smooth as a baby’s bum.
Sound creepy?
It may be a little, but it’s becoming all the rage. So far, over 5,000 customers have indulged in this treatment that feels like your foot fell asleep – just a tickling and tingling.
The fish at-the-ready, known as doctor fish, thrive in hot water where plants and other food sources are not readily available. Consequently, the fish have learned to feed on whatever they can find, …read more

Personally, I’m not much of a reality TV show fan. The only ones I watch are The Amazing Race and The Apprentice. The Amazing Race because, well, it’s all about travel and relationships. And The Apprentice, because, well, because whatever else you think about ‘the Donald’, he does have some business savvy. On the other hand, he also has ‘the hair’… so I wonder what he’d make of this newest Reality TV show – Hair Loss Confidential. Who knows, he might even be the ‘man behind the show.’
So what is Hair Loss Confidential ? Well, the tagline reads ‘transforming America …read more

The Japanese – an efficient, healthful group of people. People rooted in culture. People who cherish their elders. People who keel over from being overworked.
Say what?
Yes, it’s true. While America is sometimes looked at as slovenly and over-privileged, our Japanese pals are working so hard, they’re launching themselves into the grave. This has become such an epidemic, in fact, that it even has a name: karoshi.
For example, there was a poor fellow, a 45-year-old chief engineer for Toyota, who worked an additional 114 hours of overtime per month (overtime!). That’s equivalent to about …read more

Ever eat a huge lunch and feel like your gut was full of lead? Well, if you’re 38-year-old Luis Zarate of Peru, your guts really is full of lead. And other things.
Doctors took X-rays of Mr. Zarate after he complained of sharp stomach pains. What they found was 17 different strange objects littering his stomach and colon. Among them: screws, bolts, barbed-wire, nails, pens, a knife and a watch clasp. Wow.
Not surprisingly, these unusual delicacies had caused Zarate’s stomach to expand, and surgery was performed to remove the unwelcome objects.
Doctors have said that Zarate is mentally ill, but the reasons …read more

What would you do if you felt your  life was falling apart? Most people would somehow pick up the pieces and carry on. But there’s this guy in Australia who has decided he doesn’t want to pick up the pieces. Instead, he wants to ’sell the pieces of his life’ and start a whole new life.
Sounds extreme. But is it really ? People have been starting over forever. Think Pilgrims. Think immigrants.
But Ian Usher’s way of starting over involves selling his life on e-bay…
From Sunday, June 22 for one week, Usher’s life is up for sale on eBay with the …read more

You think you have weight loss goals? Well, I’m guessing Manuel Uribe has you smoked. His goal is to be able to walk down the aisle at his own wedding. And we’re betting he’ll do just that.
The 43-year-old Uribe has dropped an astonishing 550 pounds over the last two years after breaking the Guinness World Record of 1,235 pounds. He’s now down to about 700 pounds and has dreams of whittling down further.
Currently living in Northern Mexico, Uribe attributes his obesity to the American way – a nonstop diet of …read more

Okay, this is one of those stories that sounds funny at first, but when you dig into the meat of it, it is soooo not funny. At all.
If you’re in the New York City area and you’re feeling a little frisky, please do not try your hand at ingesting toad venom – a supposed aphrodisiac. This kind of sexual adventure actually killed a 35-year-old man recently, and as I see it, death is not at all worth a few moments in the sack. Agreed?
This toad venom, sold illegally under the names Piedra, Love Stone, Jamaican …read more
