Man fakes own kidnapping, found bound and gagged.
July 12, 2007
Now we all have our troubles with work colleagues throughout our working lives and some people will do absolutely anything to get out of work for various reasons, but this is just ridiculous.
A man has faked his own kidnapping in a truly bizarre attempt to avoid going to work.
The 22-year-old Japanese navy officer was found on Tuesday with his mouth gagged and hands tied in the bushes off a road in Kanagawa prefecture near Tokyo, police said.
He initially said he was assaulted and kidnapped by a robber.
But questioned further by police, who found his story suspicious, he admitted to have made it up, a spokesman said.
The man apparently thought that if he feigned being the victim of a robbery, he could avoid work, where he was having trouble with co-workers. “He said he was getting tired of work as he was caught between his superiors and subordinates,” the police spokesman said.
More muscle = More sex from women, study.
July 10, 2007
When is comes to a woman’s preference for a male partner, most studies have concluded that desirability was influenced by commitment and offcourse earnings potential, but a new study says physical characteristics matter more.
“Women are predisposed to prefer muscularity in men,” said study author David Frederick of UCLA.
The study was published in the Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin, and suggests muscles in men are akin to elaborate tail feathers in male peacocks: They attract females looking for a virile mate.
Women were more physically attracted to brawny men, especially for a fling. But when it comes to finding a long-term partner, they tend to pick a regular man over a mate with huge biceps.
“On the one hand, it makes them more sexy to women. On the other hand, it makes women more suspicious about their romantic intentions,” Frederick said.
So, want more one night stands men? Then get into that gym and those protein bars.
Or, if you’re looking for a more long term thing, then the gym can wait, too much muscle and those jealous women might think you’re going to betray them.
Man’s foot smell mistaken for dead bodies.
July 9, 2007
Not so happy feet.
A case of mistaken smells…
This weekend German police broke into a darkened flat fearing they would find a dead body after neighbours complained of a nasty smell seeping out onto the staircase.
The shutters of the apartment had been closed for more than a week and the postbox was filled with uncollected mail.
But instead of a corpse police found a tenant with badly smelling feet asleep in bed next to a pile of foul-smelling laundry, police in the southwestern town of Kaiserslautern said today.
Wow, that guy must be one hell of a dirty human being.
Wanted: Condom Testers. Best job in the world?
July 6, 2007
G’day baby!
Sick of the usual 9-5 working day?
How about a job as a condom tester?
And the only catch is that you need to have regual sex. That couldn’t be so hard, could it?
The Australian arm of British condom company Durex is on the prowl for males to help them test their new range of protection.
Local marketing manager Sam White said any Australian over the age of 18 could apply for one of 200 positions as a condom tester.
Unfortunately the position is not paid, but successful applicants will receive a free $60 selection of Durex products and will be required to provide the company with honest feedback about the products’ performance.
One of the lucky 200 testers will win a $1000 bonus.
Applicants must explain why they would make an expert condom tester, Mr White said.
“With this job on your CV, it really will be a chance to brag to your mates about the special skills you possess, not to mention that your new role will work wonders with the opposite sex,” he said.
“Who wouldn’t want to have a chance with an actual authorised professional?”
“We see this tester position as a great opportunity to get deeper, more penetrating feedback from our customers.”
Anyone interested in the offer can apply online by visiting the Durex Australia website.
This gets me thinking…
I’m an Australian! Maybe I should apply, although I am in need of a sex partner, due to recent lady troubles. (You don’t believe me do you?)
Any takers?
