This is the moment a 21-year-old man diced with death as he played on tracks as a train came hurtling towards him.

Showing off in front of his friends, Andrew Ogden, from Astley Village, Chorley, struck a pose standing right in front of an oncoming train.

The dangerous near-miss was captured on CCTV cameras at Rylands level crossing in Chorley on July 14.

BERLIN (Reuters) – A thief in Germany used a flower pot to steal a 150,000 euro ($221,000) Porsche.

Reversing out of his open garage, the car’s owner heard a scraping noise and got out to investigate, police in the western city of Bonn said Tuesday.

As the 56-year-old was bending down to remove a flower pot jammed against a tire, a man pushed him aside, leaped behind the wheel and drove off in his grey Porsche 997 Turbo.

“All the shocked man could do was jump to one side to avoid being run over,” police said.

A new UCLA study has found that elementary schools can significantly increase the frequency of fruit and vegetable consumption among low-income students by providing a lunch salad bar.

The findings, published in the December issue of the international peer-reviewed journal Public Health Nutrition, show that the frequency of students’ fruit and vegetable consumption increased significantly — from 2.97 to 4.09 times daily — after a salad bar was introduced. In addition, students’ mean daily intake of energy, cholesterol, saturated fat and total fat declined considerably.

Now if your “organ” is 13.5 inches, why bother talking endlessly about the half? Does 13 and a half make it that much better than a thirteen inch penis?
