`A man says a traffic ticket a state trooper gave him is for the birds — or at least for flipping the bird. Stephen Corey, 42, filed a federal lawsuit because he says he had a First Amendment right to flip his middle finger at the trooper in July.
Trooper Samuel Nassan III gave Corey, a flight attendant from Pittsburgh, a ticket for following another vehicle too closely, then wrote him up for giving “an improper hand signal while passing my patrol car, namely middle finger up,” according to Corey’s lawsuit.’
`This highly unscientific quiz will haphazardly let you know when you may die. Do not be fooled by imitations! This quiz will test you on your lifestyle, and using a highly advanced, totally secret, super-algorithm that was created in less than one-hour, will tell you of your destined fate that was almost completely made up!’

` The disc is to be taped or glued to the bottom of your car’s gas tank. Promoters say it significantly increases gas mileage and improves air quality. They don’t say how it works, beyond claiming it sends “holographic frequencies into the gas tank and changes the molecular structure of the gasoline.”
“It doesn’t work,” says Dr. Terry Parker, a physics professor at the Colorado School of Mines. Parker and graduate student John Dane of the chemistry department tested the device for 9News.
“It’s clear that it’s just a sticker and nothing else,” Dane said.’

`The ongoing study, the first evaluation of the abstinence programs across the state, found that students in almost all high school grades were more sexually active after undergoing abstinence education.
Researchers don’t believe the programs encouraged teenagers to have sex, only that the abstinence messages did not interfere with customary trends among adolescents.’

`Some web sites have claimed to “debunk the male pregnancy hoax,” but they’re mistaken. This is not a hoax like Orson Welles’ War of the Worlds broadcast. It’s true that many of the people involved in this project (including Mr. Lee) are indeed artists — and Virgil Wong has created an art installation of Male Pregnancy for exhibit at the PaperVeins Museum of Art — but yes, Mr. Lee is really pregnant.’

`Bob Rajic is a real guy with a real band called USS Rock’n’Roll. Aside from being a guy who has a crappy band doing a video for the song “warp factor love”, he also works at a parking lot and tries to pick up Klingon chicks at conventions. Was he involved in a hit-and-run? Does someone want Bob dead? Will Bill Shatner ever answer his phone? Is this is the strange tale of one man’s obsession?’

`It’s unclear how serious members of the Los Angeles Cultural Heritage Commission were back in 1978 when they designated Daniel Van Meter’s “Tower of Wooden Pallets” a historic monument.
Commission member Bob Winter later joked that “maybe we were drunk” when they recognized the 22-foot stack of crumbling, termite-infested Schlitz beer pallets. Winter called it “the funniest thing we ever did.”‘
`A devout Baptist couple spoke today of their disgust after they claimed they bought a classic musical DVD featuring Doris Day from their local supermarket, only to discover it was an Italian porn film.

Instead the shocked pensioners said they were confronted by raunchy sex film – Tettone che Passione, which roughly translates as Breasts of Passion.’
They were so disgusted they had to watch the whole thing, it seems. :)

`The Israeli defence minister, Shaul Mofaz, warned yesterday that Iran will reach “the point of no return” within the next 12 months in its covert attempt to secure a nuclear weapons capability.
Tehran denies pursuing a nuclear weapons programme.

Although there were plenty of elderly women the old guys could have lured into the sack, they went instead for curvy young nurses and aides, many of whom, it is reported, were drunk.
A spokesman for Merry Rest confirmed in a prepared statement that 18 employees are now pregnant and that DNA testing to match them with the fathers is now under way.’
