When you’re sick and tired of dealing with hair, you either shave it all off or get so angry and old that it falls out on its own volition.

From the page: “Independently, green tea has been found by Japanese researcher Takatoshi Murase to boost exercise endurance in mice up to 24% while spurring the use of fat as energy. It might become added to the list of substances that baseball players and other athletes are tested for. Dr. Murase estimates that to match the effects on the mice, these athletes would need to drink about four cups of green tea a day over several weeks.”

A GALLERY has offended Christians and visitors alike by displaying a statue showing Christ with an erection.

The sculpture, by the gay Chinese-born artist Terence Koh, is being exhibited by the Baltic Centre for Contemporary Art in Gateshead.

The exhibition, entitled Gone, Yet Still, features 74 different plaster models of people or objects which Koh, 30, claims have been important in his life. As well as the 18in statue of Christ, there are models of Mickey Mouse and ET, dipped into plaster. They also have erect penises attached.

“A Mississippi businessman must pay more than 750,000 dollars in damages to the man whose wife he wooed away, after the US Supreme Court on Monday declined to hear an appeal in the case.”

Good. Too little importance is given to the sanctity of marriage in modern society. If a marriage isn’t working and can’t be made to work then divorce, but don’t cheat first.
