Truthfully I'm at a loss

Western women can't squat

A study aimed at finding the perfect way for women to pee has floundered because Westerners can't squat properly.

The Australian study aimed to compare Western toilets with third world squatting, reports The Australian.

But researchers found westerners could not hold the squat position for more than 30 seconds without falling over.

Prof Ajay Rane, of James Cook University, said: "We were quite sure squatting would be far superior to the Western toilet position, however we have a problem now - one third of the population is unable to squat."

His study, conducted over two years using 100 women, compared peeing styles using the squatting position and conventional toilet position.

Equipment collected data such as how fast volunteers could urinate, their maximum speed, average speed, how long it took to attain maximum speed and the volume of urine.

 

Ummm ... If this is grounds for precident maybe I'll cancel that trip to NYC

Man cleared of urinating on steps

An Argentinian man has been cleared of urinating on the steps of a museum -
because they were already dirty.
Julian Perez Dorrego, a lawyer, was sentenced to community service for
urinating on the steps of the MALBA museum in Buenos Aires.
But he appealed on the grounds that it was impossible to dirty the steps
since they were already dirty from the thousands of people who walk on them.
Three appeal court judges agreed and Mr Dorrego's conviction and sentence
have been quashed.
"One cannot dirty the dirt," he told Clarin newspaper after the case.

Next time, maybe next time

Some people should be glad that the last time they asked me to catch a mouse I used a pail...

A US man who tried to shoot a mouse accidentally shot his girlfriend in the
arm instead.
Donald Rugg, 43, spotted the mouse in his home in Confluence, Pennsylvania,
and took a shot at it with his handgun.
But he missed the mouse and hit his girlfriend Cathy Jo Harris, 35, who had
walked into the bullet's path, reports the Tribune Review.
Harris was taken to Somerset Community Hospital by her 16-year-old daughter,
where she is said to be in a stable condition.
Police Cpl. Robert Clark said: "While it's not against the law to discharge
a weapon in a home, police advise against it."
No charges will be brought against Rugg.

Ok, Ok ... Maybe Jack likes pie more than me

Nicholson ate apple pie between love making bouts

Jack Nicholson once stopped making love to a woman to eat an entire apple
pie before returning to bed for more sex.
A new book claims the three-times Oscar winning actor could make love
several times a night, according to the book titled Jack: The Great Seducer
published by HarperCollins in the US. "He could make love all night long. I
stopped counting at seven," one unnamed woman says.

At one time Nicholson shared one lover, artist and actress Denise Beaumount,
with Warren Beatty and film producer Robert Evans, but she broke off the
relationship when she discovered the three men were trading stories about
her. Nicholson is unapologetic about lying to women, the book says. His
advice about dating is, "It's the other woman I would never lie to. You only
lie to two people in your life: your girlfriend and the police. Everybody
else you tell the truth to."

The Great Seducer has been written by a biographer who goes under the name
"Edward Douglas", a pseudonym he used to help protect the identity of some
of his sources, reports the New York Daily News.

Only in Britain you say ... a pity

Find a pub by text messaging
TheReg is reporting of a new service from the makers of the Good Pub Guide, a directory of drinking establishments in the UK. For just 50 pence (about 88 cents) you can text the service with the message "GOODPUB," and it will immediately respond with the location of the nearest bar.
And if you've got a nice WAP-capable display, you can even get a map. The service uses the iTAGG system that triangulates your location down to the closest cell, so while it might not be 100% accurate it'll get you pretty close.

What did you think I was talking about???

Jeremy has the biggest cock in Britain
An Essex man believes he has the biggest cock in Britain - a 2ft monster which he calls Melvin.
The giant cockerel weighs more than 15lbs and dwarfs other roosters, says The Sun.
Owner Jeremy Goldsmith said: "We're staggered. He just grows and grows. We asked experts and no one's heard of a cockerel this big."
Jeremy runs Mountfitchet Castle in Stansted, Essex, where Melvin lives with his mate Mandy.
At 18-months-old, Melvin is twice the size of other birds of his Buff Orpington breed.

Am I the only one that notices, that its coping a feel

Pillows that include a false arm that gently cuddles the sleeper in bed are the latest fad in Japan.
The Boyfriend's Arm Pillow consists of a headless torso and a stuffed arm that curls around the sleeper.
Manufacturers Kameo say they have sold about 1,000 since they went on sale.
Kameo says the pillow is not only an emotional comfort but that its shape keeps the body balanced by supporting the sleeper from both sides.

I prefer to think of it as, Dogs are dumber than previously thought

Fish are much brainier than previously thought - and can learn quicker than dogs.
Oxford scientists have dubbed them "very capable" after building an aquatic obstacle course.
The blind Mexican cave fish tested memorized the challenged in just a few hours reports The Sun.
They spotted changes when the university researchers tried to fool them. And the fish still remembered what they had learned several months later.

Scientists also revealed their subjects completed complex mental tasks which would baffle pets like hamsters and dogs.
Dr Theresa Burt de Perera said: "The public perception of fish is that they are pea-brained numbskulls who can't remember things for more than a few seconds.

"We're now finding that they are very capable of learning and remembering, and possess a range of mental skills that would surprise many people."

She added: "We know that fish can recognize their owners - some will even go into a sulk if somebody else tries to feed them."

I can barely come up with a caption

Oh ... maybe something like 'He should have choked the chicken instead'
OR
D@mn it, Bad Dog, drop it Bad Dog!!!

A elderly Romanian man mistook his penis for a chicken's neck, cut it off and his dog rushed up and ate it, the state Rompres news agency said Monday.
It said 67 year-old Constantin Mocanu, from a village near the southeastern town of Galati, rushed out into his yard in his underwear to kill a noisy chicken keeping him awake at night. I confused it with the chicken's neck, Mocanu, who was admitted to the emergency hospital in Galati, was quoted as saying. I cut it ... and the dog rushed and ate it.
Doctors said the man, who was brought in by an ambulance bleeding heavily, was now out of danger.

I'm secure enough in my manhood to pull this off ... I think
