Mmmm - a yummy new drink will soon be available to aid people suffering from ulcerative colitis and/or Crohn's disease (collectively known as inflammatory bowel disease). The beverage, developed by Dr Joel Winstock, is filled with thousands of pig whipworm eggs and studies have shown that it is very effective in pushing the IBD sufferers into remission. Apparently the human immune system needs something to control it in IBD situations, and dealing with the pesky worms is just the ticket!

Paul McCartney: Reformed Frog Abuser
Paul McCartney, tree-hugger extraordinaire, has finally admitted why he has frogs in all of his silly books. It's because....this is so hard to say....when he was a child, he used to abuse frogs. Somehow he equated being cruel to amphibians as helping him get ready for the military.
He has now reformed. During a chat with fans on MSN.com, McCartney made his shocking revelation: "When I was a kid and I remember thinking as I would have to go into the Army, cruelty to frogs seemed justified as a practice for the Army...I love them now and I apologise to the children of the ones I abused as a kid. Secret revelations of a frog molester."

Strip-search hoax caller causing headaches
So there's this guy who has been calling fast food restaurants throughout America for the past five freakin' years playing the same prank over and over again. No, it's not Prince Albert in a Can, it's "Hi, I'm a cop & I need you to take that person over there in the back and strip search him/her." They fall for it every time.
Managers from Taco Bell, McDonald's, Wendy's, Burger King, Ruby Tuesday, Applebee's, and more have followed the advice of a stranger's voice on the phone to perform strip searches and/or drug searches on employees and, now, customers. The crank stays on the line instructing the manager in each step of the search, and in some instances the manager has ended up being slapped with criminal charges due to the deviance.
Seems the companies have been too embarrassed by their managers' naivtee to report the incidents, and it's only just become obvious to the police how widespread the problem is.
"It's mind-boggling," said one policeman. "How can a responsible person in this world ever do what has been occurring just because some guy calls them on telephone and tells them he's a cop?"
"This guy is a sexual deviant who in fact got his thrill initially," an investigator said. "But as time went on, it grew more into a power and control type of thing, where he gets great pleasure out of manipulating people, convincing them to take other people's clothes off."
