Teenager's acne spells out arse
Spotty teenager Sam Cummings has been nicknamed Craphead Slaphead because his acne spells out the word A-R-S-E.
The unfortunate 16-year-old, from Berkshire, says he has suffered from the spotty skin condition for years and has always had to put up with remarks about his blemishes from cruel classmates.
But things took a turn for the worse for the Titherton Secondary schoolboy when he woke up one morning last week and found his out of control zits had merged - and formed the word arse.
He said: “I’ve always had bad skin and didn’t think things could get any worse, but obviously I was wrong. I was horrified when I walked into the bathroom the other day and looked in the mirror. I literally did a double-take when I noticed my spots formed a-r-s-e and I tried everything to get them off.”
But sadly for Sam, his attempts to squeeze his spots into submission and cover them with his mum’s concealer were in vain.

new discovery
The heaviest element known to scienceLawrence Livermore Laboratories has discovered the heaviest element yet known to science. The new element, Governmentium (Gv), has one neutron, 25 assistant neutrons, 88 deputy neutrons, and 198 assistant deputy neutrons, giving it an atomic mass of 312.
These 312 particles are held together by forces called morons, which are surrounded by vast quantities of lepton-like particles called peons. Since Governmentium has no electrons, it is inert; however, it can be detected, because it impedes every reaction with which it comes into contact. A tiny amount of Governmentium can cause a reaction that would normally take less than a second, to take from 4 days to 4 years to complete.
Governmentium has a normal half-life of 2- 6 years. It does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which a portion of the assistant neutrons and deputy neutrons exchange places.
In fact, Governmentium’s mass will actually increase over time, since each reorganization will cause more morons to become neutrons, forming isodopes. This characteristic of moron promotion leads some scientists to believe that Governmentium is formed whenever morons reach a critical concentration. This hypothetical quantity is referred to as critical morass.
When catalyzed with money, Governmentium becomes Administratium, an element that radiates just as much energy as Governmentium since it has half as many peons but twice as many morons.

Father Murphy walks into a pub in Donegal, and says to the first man he meets, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
The man said, "I do, Father."
The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall."
Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply.
"Then stand over there against the wall," said the priest.
Then Father Murphy walked up to O'Toole and said, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "No, I don't Father."
The priest said, "I don't believe this. You mean to tell me that when you die you don't want to go to heaven?"
O'Toole said, "Oh, when I die, yes. I thought you were getting a group together to go right now."
The man said, "I do, Father."
The priest said, "Then stand over there against the wall."
Then the priest asked the second man, "Do you want to go to heaven?"
"Certainly, Father," was the man's reply.

Paraplegic man walks again after spider bite
He's been confined to a wheelchair for 20 years. Now a paraplegic man is walking again. And his doctors call it a miracle.
A motorcycle accident almost killed David Blancarte 21 years ago. At the time he might have wished he was dead. "I asked my doctor, "sir what happened?' I can't feel my legs," said David.
Ever since, David's been relying on his wheelchair to get around. Then the spider bite. A Brown Recluse sent him to the hospital, then to rehab for eight months. "I'm here for a spider bite. I didn't know I would end up walking," says David.
A nurse noticed David's leg spasm and ran a test on him. "When they zapped my legs, I felt the current, I was like whoa and I yelled," he says. He felt the current and the rush of a renewed sense of hope. "She says,'your nerves are alive. They're just asleep," explained David. Five days later David was walking. "I was walking on the bar back and forth," he said. Now David is out of the hospital and on his feet and walking.

Miraculous escape for Indian boy speared by rod
A six-year-old boy has survived falling off the roof of a house and landing on an upturned metal pole. Mihir Kumar was celebrating the Holi festival in Ranchi, India, when the accident occured.
He slipped off the roof of his family home and landed on a the five foot-long iron rod that was left standing on a building site. The pole punched through his rib cage and came out the other side. His father said Mihir "endured terrible pain". He was rushed to hospital where he underwent three-hour surgery at the Rajendra Institute of Medical Sciences to remove the rod. He is now recovering in hospital.
Dr Sandeep Agarwal, one of the three surgeons to operate on the boy, said he had miraculously escaped major internal injuries.

For sale: nagging wife, very high maintenance
A British man fed up with his wife's complaints advertised her for sale -- and got a number of offers.
"Nagging Wife. No Tax, No MOT. Very high maintenance -- some rust," wrote Gary Bates, 38, in a small ad in Trade-It, more usually used to buy and sell cars or household goods.
Bates, a self-employed builder from Gloucestershire, southwest England, snapped after his wife Donna on got on his nerves while she was watching television and decided to place the ad as a joke.
"She was nagging me for doing something small, while she was watching some rubbish on TV. So I just thought I'd put an ad in to get rid of her. I didn't think anyone would ring up but I've had at least nine or 10 people calling about her. It's gone mad. There was no one I knew -- just people asking, 'Is she still available?'"
The couple only married last year, and Bates said his 40-year-old wife -- whom he advertised in the magazine's Free to Collect section, along with some of his fishing tackle -- initially gave him "a bit of an ear-bashing." But he said: "She's seen the funny side of it now though!"

Teenager accused of having sex with dog
A teenager was allegedly caught having sexual intercourse with a sheepdog named ‘Rosie’ a court heard. Spiky-haired Thomas Fletcher is accused of breaking into a bedroom - where two dogs had been locked away for their own safety - and carried out two depraved acts of bestiality.
The stunned jury at Reading Crown Court heard that 18-year-old Fletcher’s shocking crimes were discovered by his foster mother, Tina Sharp, who had left a voice-activated dictaphone in the room with the dogs at the house in Boveney Road, Eton Wick.
Mrs Sharp had become concerned about the welfare of Rosie and her retriever cross collie, named Ralph, because they had begun to ‘cower’ in the presence of Fletcher. “Such were her concerns that she did not just lock them in there, she locked them in with a voice-activated dictaphone,” said Oliver Dunkin, prosecuting.
Before subjecting the court to the harrowing six minutes of audio evidence, Mr Dunkin warned the jury of its explicit nature. The jury of five men and seven woman was visibly shocked by what they heard and some covered their faces with their hands.

*hic*
got a major case of the hiccups this morning...20 minutes of agony...which is why i did a bit of research...
Everything you always wanted to know about hiccups
Hiccups are triggered by uncontrolled impulses of the phrenic nerve which lead the diaphragm to spasm. These contractions result in a quick intake of breath which is what we refer to as a hiccup. Hiccups can be caused many ways such as by eating or drinking too quickly, consuming spicy or cold food, drinking alcohol, or by quick breaths because of surprises, laughs, coughs, or sneezes. In some cases they occur for no real reason at all, which can be quite annoying.
So how exactly does one cure the hiccups? I have heard of many remedies including drinking water upside down, holding your breath, eating peanut butter, distracting yourself one way or another, or getting someone to scare you. Some of these may seem ridiculous, but all of them either distract you or cause you to hold your breath which allows the diaphragm to relax and can help stop the spasms. If none of these remedies works, and the hiccups do not subside, it may be necessary to get medical attention.
The longest case of hiccups ever recorded was with a man named Charles Osborne whose fit lasted 68 years. He hiccupped an estimated 430 million times and averaged from 20-40 hiccups a minute throughout his lifetime. Next time you find yourself complaining about hiccups, just be glad that they will be gone sooner than his were.

Woman injured in sex toy mishap
A Southern Maryland woman was seriously injured in a mishap involving a sex toy over the weekend.
The accident was reported to local fire and rescue personnel about 1:30 a.m. on March 7. The man who made the 911 call said he had placed a sex toy over a saber saw blade, and then used the power tool on his partner, but the blade cut through the plastic and injured the woman. The victim, a 27-year-old woman, was reportedly injured and bleeding. She was flown to Prince George's hospital center by Maryland State Police.
County law enforcement officials said although they were not initially called to investigate the incident, they would likely follow up to determine it was just an accident and involved consentual behaviour.
