Home Depot and Playboy. Does it Get Better Than This?
Playboy has started another fun spread: the women of Home Depot! The hardware giant is currently accepting submissions from legal-aged wenches throughout the country, planning to cull it down to about a dozen hotties ready to strip their tool belts in the interest of Art. And Phil. And Tom, Dick, and Harry.
Home Depot management is keeping its distance, acknowledging that the shoot will be occurring, but nothing more. The official statement: "The company is aware of the invitation but does not endorse it, support it, nor are we affiliated with it in any way."
Stay tuned for the publishing date!

Children hold up ice cream parlour
Five kiddos in Brazil are in some hot water after robbing an ice cream parlor at gunpoint. The little rascals, aged 11 - 16, held up a candy store in Ribeirao Preto, Sao Paulo, threatening the shop owner with a pellet gun before gathering up all the sweets they could handle and running out. They might have gotten away with it, however they had the planning skills one would expect. They ran away around the corner then hunkered down to eat their haul. Silly kids and their silly pranks. Cops have told their parents and now they are grounded grounded grounded.

Hey Honey, Have You Seen My Arm?
The fun at Water World in Stoke-on-Trent (England) must be amazing. That's the only explanation one can come up with for swimmers leaving the scene without their prosthetic limbs! Last year, among the 3000 or so items brought up to the lost and found were usual keys, sunglasses, etc. And 10 ARTIFICIAL LIMBS! Ultimately, the forgetful folks did retrieve their body parts, but apparently they did all actually leave the water park sans limbs. Bizarre. As Pools manager Gemma Ward said, "You can't quite believe someone would forget something as important as their legs or arms."

No Smoking means No Smoking
Two soldiers from the Ukranian army were sharing a smoke at their worksite. Bummer that the worksite was a MUNITIONS SITE and their job was stocking military ammunition. Shockingly, the lit cigarettes somehow ignited some of the 92,000 TONS of artillery ammo, and the resulting explosions killed 5 people and caused $725 million dollars in damage.
Word has it that debris flew as far as 25 miles from the site, and the shrapnel and explosions destroyed buildings in a two-mile radius, and caused additional fires in nearby towns.
No word on the two smokies. If they're still alive, I suggest they get on The Patch.

A personal request:
Next time you're travelling to Nara, western Japan, do me a favor and pick up a bag of the treat formerly known as 'Snot from the nose of the Great Buddha'. You should be able to find it relatively close to another yummy treat Nara sells called 'Deer Droppings'. But the Buddha Snot is really what I'd like to have.
Japanese priests wanted to stop the sweets from being sold at all, but have only succeeded in terms of changing the name. Now it's got the prefix 'sama', whatever the heck that means. But you'll be able to find it, regardless of the name, by the picture on the package showing Buddha picking his nose.
Thanks!
