Bananas!
A 35-year-old Indian man was nabbed by local residence in Kolkata. He initially denied having swallowed the 45,000 rupee necklace, but x-rays showed it was indeed in his stomach.
Police threatened to put Sheikh Mohsin under the knife if he didn’t go along with his new banana diet.
“Mohsin was initially reluctant to eat the bananas, but we told him that doctors would cut him open to recover the chain. He immediately wolfed down the bananas at one go,” said the deputy commissioner of police.
However, the bananas did not work. So police then decided they would cook up a feast for Mohsin, feeding him rice, chicken and bread.
After a long wait, the necklace was finally retrieved.
Hilarious!
Meanwhile, in other crime and banana related news….
Authorities in California, USA, are on the hunt for a bank robber nicknamed The Banana Bandit.
The man has been hitting a number of banks since May, and robbed his tenth on Friday. He earned the name from media because he was casually eating a banana when robbing a bank May 16; he has also been seen eating potato chips in another robbery.
And now, for the crazy adventures of 80’s British cartoon superhero…Banana Man!

Is too much sex bad for the economy?
August 4, 2007
Let’s talk about sex!
“The less sex you have, the more work you seek”, and those who are not getting any action “often take on more commitments and work.”
Or in the words of the studies author, Ragnar Beer of the University of Göttingen:
“Sexual frustration prevents you from being able to reduce your stress”
“One commonly takes on obligations out of sexual frustration that aren’t easy to let go of, like leadership positions in a club, for instance. That takes away from the time spent on the relationship, which again negatively contributes to sexual satisfaction. Unobserved, the frustration often becomes deeply ingrained.”
Beer’s team found that 36 percent of men and 35 percent of women who have sex only once a week take on extra work to compensate for their wanting sex life. It’s even worse for the hapless couples who have altogether lost their eye for one another. Forty-five percent of men and 46 percent of women who no longer have sex with their partner seek out other activities to salve their wanting libidos.
So, you could conclude that the more active participants in an economy getting no or little sex, the more productive that nation’s economy would be.
How could economic policy makers use this information to their advantage?
I blog, you decide.
Meanwhile….
In other studies of sex related news…
A world-wide study on women’s sexual satisfaction has found that Saudi Arabian women were the most sexually fulfilled, followed by Mexican, Spanish, Italian and Venezuelan women.
How nice.
Now, lets talk about sex…
Quick, watch it before Universal records deletes it!
Go on, tell the world!
Ouch!
How embarrasing!
Like something out of a classic Hollywood thriller…
A self portait painting supposedly created in 1886 by legendary artist Vincent van Gogh, purported to be worth Australian $25 million (US $21.5 million), has been proven to be a fake.
The painting called ‘Head of a man’ was bought to Australia by the father of media billionare Rupert Murdoch, Sir Keith Murdoch, and has been with the National Gallery of Victoria collection since just before World War 2.
But when the painting went on a tour to Europe, experts in Amsterdam tested the painting regarded as “offbeat” and an “oddity”, by Van Gogh specialists.
Last year The Sunday Times in London published claims by Van Gogh specialists that the work had been incorrectly attributed.
And today, it was announced that those claims have proven accurate.
The gallery said there would be a “downwards adjustment” in the painting’s value when the Victorian state gallery revalues its collection next year.
Downward adjustment indeed!
Not so stary, stary anymore…..

Little lamb born with 7, yes S-E-V-E-N legs!
August 2, 2007
The Crazy News: Shot of the Week 
A leg for every day of the week.
When farmer Dave Callaghan was walking the green pastures of his farm near the town of Ashburton on New Zealand’s south island, he got the shock of a lifetime when he realized that one of his little lambs had 3 more legs than usual.
“I have never seen anything like that,” said Dave in a deep Kiwi accent.
Vets believe the lambs condition is a result of an error during embryo formation, which meant he was born a polydactyl - or with many legs, and occurs in one in every few million.
The animal is also a hermaphrodite and missing some of its bowel, and it will have to be put down.
A wee lamb
“To keep it alive is probably inhumane really,” was a vets assesment.
“It’s quite a happy bright wee lamb, he’s just slowly going downhill really,”
Poor fella.
See the original article HERE.
Note: I see now that CNN has picked up this story, I was trying to think of a creative headline for this one for some time, but this takes the cake…
“Lamb with 7 legs faces the chop”
Oh CNN, your so funny….
Speaking of New Zealanders and meat… Have you read the story about Vegans refusing to have sexual relations with meat eaters?
