Dress Made From 3,000 Cow And Yak Nipples

Dress Made From 3,000 Cow and Yak Nipples- But a dress made from 3,000 protruding cow and yak nipples had Fashion Week attendees clutching at their pearls like disapproving dowagers.
Designed by Liverpool-born designe Rachel Friere, who fashioned the nipples into disarmingly genteel rosettes, the floor-length gown has raised the ire of the British public, politicians, and animal-rights groups alike, who have branded it “inappropriate and disturbing,” “absolutely grotesque,” “sickening and repulsive,” and a “runway freak show.”

Milk Lasts About 5-7 Days After Sell-by Date

Milk Lasts About 5-7 Days After Sell-by Date- Are you one of those people who pour the milk down the drain on the expiration date?

Twinkie Shelf life 25 Days

Twinkie Shelf life 25 Days- Today I found out that Twinkies have a shelf life of only 25 days.  The popular notion that they “last forever” or for some ridiculously large amount of time is incorrect.
Here are some other popular myths concerning Twinkies:
Twinkies aren’t baked.  The sponge cake instead is made from a chemical reaction that causes a cake-like material to foam up.  It is then colored dark brown at the bottom to give the appearance of being baked.  (This is of course false.  Twinkies are in fact baked and their primary ingredients are flour, sugar, and eggs.)

Facebook Fees- False rumors that Facebook is about to implement a plan to charge for profile pages have been burning up email accounts and Facebook pages. But the social networking giant, which just announced a series of new features, says charging for profile pages and use of the site is not among the changes.

To make sure such rumors do not gain traction, Facebook's home page states that "it's free and always will be." On Facebook's own product page on the site, it posted the following Status Update: "A rumor on the Internet caught our attention. We have no plans to charge for Facebook. It's free and always will be."

Scottie Pippen Gulfstream II

Scottie Pippen Gulfstream II- Following a career in which he earned some $120 million in salaries, the former Chicago Bulls forward famously partnered with a few businessmen in 2002 to buy a Gulfstream II corporate jet. Pippen's original stake in the plane was only to be $1 million, but when the other investors defaulted, the six-time NBA champ was left alone with the $5 million tab. Pippen sued his lawyers for legal malpractice in the deal years ago and, remarkably, was rewarded $2 million when the jury reached a verdict in the case earlier this year. That should go a little ways to easing the pain over the other $27 million the All-Star has blown on bad investments.

After a year of behind-the-scenes drama that will probably be unequaled by any sitcom for years (Sheen's bad boy behavior, his very public rants and his subsequent firing), the season nine premiere of "Two and a Half Men" gave us our first taste of 33-year-old Ashton Kutcher as 46-year-old Charlie Sheen's replacement.

Baby Deaths Spark Antidepressant Fears

Baby deaths spark fears over antidepressants: Two B.C. families whose infants died inexplicably are sounding the alarm about mothers taking antidepressants while pregnant.
Both mothers took Effexor, which Health Canada has warned can have adverse effects on babies.

Nicole Rawkins is convinced her use of antidepressants contributed to her baby's death. (CBC) “I took the pills. I didn’t question. I trusted my doctor,” said Christiane Shultz, whose son Matthew died shortly after his birth in Kamloops in 2009.
An autopsy did not determine a cause of death. However, it listed the antidepressant drug taken by his mother as a contributing factor.

Wendy's Remakes 42-Year-old Hamburger

Wendy's Remakes 42-Year-old Hamburger- When Wendy's decided to remake its 42-year-old hamburger, the chain agonized over every detail. The result? Dave's Hot `N Juicy, named after late Wendy's founder Dave Thomas. The burger with extra cheese, a thicker beef patty, a buttered bun, and hold the mustard, among other changes will be served in restaurants starting Monday. Wendy's, based in Dublin, Ohio, is trying to boost lackluster sales and fight growing competition from much bigger rival McDonald's on one end and expanding fast-casual chains like Five Guys on the other. Part of the issue is that Americans are being pickier about how they spend their dining-out dollars. Another issue is that Wendy's had let its food offerings get stale over the years while its competitors continued to update their menus.

Hero Rabbit house Fire Scratching on Her Chest

Hero rabbit house fire scratching on her chest: A pet rabbit is being credited for saving its owners from a house fire in southeastern Alaska before it died of smoke inhalation, fire officials said on Friday. The rabbit woke up the homeowner early on Tuesday morning by scratching on her chest, the Ketchikan Fire Department said in a statement. The homeowner realized that the house was full of smoke, woke up her daughter and fled the house. The fire was brought under control fairly quickly, with four engines, a ladder truck and 33 firefighters responding. Damage to the house from flames, smoke and water was considered moderate. While there were no injuries to the mother or daughter, the rabbit was not so lucky. The animal succumbed to smoke inhalation and did not survive, the fire department said.

Danish Sperm Bank doesn't Want Anymore Gingers

Danish sperm bank doesn't want anymore gingers: We always thought having red hair was fashionable, at least that's what Interview Magazine told us, but it turns out nobody wants ginger babies anymore, reports The Telegraph. The world's largest sperm bank has started turning down donors because of a lack of demand. "There are too many redheads in relation to demand," Ole Schou the sperm bank director told Danish newspaper Ekstrabladet, continues The Telegraph. "I do not think you chose a redhead, unless the partner--for example, the sterile male--has red hair, or because the lone woman has a preference for redheads. And that's perhaps not so many, especially in the latter case."

Serb Mother Magnet

Two small boys from a central Serbian town are able to attract metal objects, acting much like human magnets, according to their mother. It's a claim that is raising doubts among some experts. Sanja Petrovic, the mother of 4-year-old David, said it first came to her attention "about a month ago." "I asked him to fetch me a spoon so I cold feed his little brother, and he yelled back: 'Mom, it sticks!'" Petrovic recalled. "I found him with several spoons and forks hanging from his body."

Fall Colors off the Beaten Track

Fall Colors off the Beaten Track: Arizona

Everybody knows that autumn brings flaming foliage colors to New England sugar maples, oaks, beeches and more in Vermont, New Hampshire, Maine and Massachusetts. But there are many other worthy spots around the world to admire autumn finery and appreciate the seasonal flow of time in nature. Here are a dozen of the best.

NY Man Sues Burger Joint Saying Booths Too Small

NY man sues burger joint saying booths too small- A New York man is suing White Castle, claiming the booths in one of its hamburger restaurants are too small. Martin Kessman says in the federal lawsuit filed last week that he was embarrassed in 2009 when he tried squeezing his 6-foot, 290-pound frame into the seating at a White Castle in Nanuet, N.Y. He says he slammed his knee into a metal post under the table and was in pain.
The lawsuit claims the restaurant could not accommodate a customer of Kessman's stature, in violation of the Americans With Disabilities Act. The suit seeks an unspecified financial judgment.
Spokesman Jamie Richardson at White Castle headquarters in Columbus, Ohio, says the restaurant is being replaced and that the new one will have roomier seating.

Songs Inspired By 911

Songs inspired by 911. Like everyone else in America, Songs Inspired By 911. I remember the morning of September 11th, 2001 vividly. Waking up, turning on the television and seeing a gaping hole in the World Trade Center, then watching in horror as another plane flew into the second tower, eliminating any chance that it was an accident.  I remember the sadness, the feeling of community that came in the days and weeks following the attack. But what I remember most is the way our then-President used the feelings of hatred and revenge seething through American veins to invade a country needlessly and pass legislation that continues to divide our country.Because I relate everything to music, I also remember the benefits for the victims families and firefighters. There have been some really great songs written about the event and the aftermath, and some truly awful. Here is my top 5 and bottom 5 of those songs.
