If you ever had a bad night, just remember it’s not as bad as Fateh Mohammad’s:
Fateh Mohammad, a prison inmate in Pakistan, says he woke up last weekend with a glass light bulb in his anus. …
"We had to take it out intact," said Dr. Farrukh Aftab at Nishtar Hospital. "Had it been broken inside, it would be a very very complicated situation."
Mohammad, who is serving a four-year sentence for making liquor, prohibited for Muslims, said he was shocked when he was first told the cause of his discomfort. He swears he didn’t know the bulb was there.

Brazil now has police buffaloes … Is Bob Marley turning in his grave?
The buffalo can go into action with vehicles and are regularly called out on duty with the fire service. They are always ready to trot off to help douse a blaze in some thatched hut or drag a car out of the Amazonian mud.

Haagen-Dazs and the Austrian Postal Service have teamed up to launch flavored stamps (as part of the ice cream maker’s "Let Your Tongue Travel" ad campaign):
"They infused flavors like Cookies & Cream, Macadamia Nut Brittle and Strawberry Cheesecake into the adhesive on the back. As you licked the stamp, you actually tasted the flavor!

A total of 4,500 L3 RGB lights were installed to illuminate the 32 floors of offices in the Agbar tower. The lighting system, which contains 4,500 L3 RGB lights, is controlled from a single computer.
A team of Texas archeologists funded by the Bible Archaeology Search and Exploration Institute claimed to have found the key to finding Noah’s Ark: a petrified wooden ship in a remote Elburz mountain north of Tehran, Iran.
At 13,000 feet up, Cornuke said he believes he found just that in a 400 foot long object they found that they believe appeared similar to the Bible’s description of the Ark.
The wood, they said, seemed to have been worked by human hands.
