Well, we've had quite a few of these lately, so I figured we might want another aggregate thread. Sometimes a news story just doesn't warrant a whole thread. It's unlikely to spawn a meaningful discussion, and it's not very important. These can be funny, sad, morbid or just interesting. On the off chance that one of these sparks a real discussion of decent length, a new thread could be made. I'll start the bidding:

What's most amusing about this story is that this nutter did it in a restraunt called Zizzi... which is the French equivalent of "willy".
...just to spite his crotch.

That one's funny, especially where it took a while to realise that the ticket she accidently duplicated would also be a winner...

I think you pasted that wrong, Malkiel. That link goes to Mapquest. And no way a recent tinyurl would have just the number "6".

Regina Lynn is pretty amusing, all in all.
I found it highly interesting, in that LoTRO has little chance due to being largely viewed as a poor WoW clone, despite the huge built in support. Conan, while it will likely be pretty awesome, also cuts out a huge chunk of potential subs by going after the 24+ male demographic, virtually ignoring others. SWG, as we all know, has been dead for a while. I don't think another revamp is going to help matters.

Awesome.
*NSFW* George Bush b*ttplug rumpus *NSFW*
There's nothing our American cousins like more than a bit of light litigation, and it appears that two US websites are about to unleash the lawyers in an unholy scrap over copyright on a rubber George Bush figurine which disgruntled Democrats can stick where the sun don't shine.
There are pictures of the offending items, but - mercifully - they're not action shots...
Now that's a headline!
That was proven fake long time ago.
Yeah, thought it might be as it was so old. Still love the headline though
Link. Man decides he MUST fly, endangers 80 with rare strain of TB.
Well-educated, highly intelligent my ass. He needs that guard to stop him in case he feels that he MUST go out and take a breather.
Fake wedding cake rental popular with some.
...a secret spot on the cake reserved for one real slice of cake for the bride and groom. It is slipped into place, at the base layer and under the fondant sugar paste frosting.
