Women in Hong Kong ‘are staring at the sun to lose weight’

In what must be the oddest new weight loss trend, women in Hong Kong are reportedly staring at the sun in order to lose weight.

Hong Kong’s fitness-mad culture means green juices and hypobaric chambers are no longer just the reserve of the most extreme health fanatics.

But the latest means of staying in shape seems really bizarre.

Women have been spotted staring directly at the sun before sunset on a beach in Sam Ka Village, Coconuts Hong Kong reports.

According to dieters, looking into the sun allows you to absorb solar energy, which means you no longer need calories from food.

Right.

‘We practice sun-gazing as a substitute for eating,’ one dieter told Coconuts Hong Kong.

‘Some of us who have finished the therapy now eat less, and others don’t have to eat at all.’

Some participants say that there is a religious element to the practice.

Incredible Roy Keane look-alike found in Renaissance painting

The mysterious man in the painting by Italian renaissance artist Paolo Veronese - called Portrait of Gentleman in a Fur - looks remarkably similar.

That magnificent beard, the furrowed brow, those dark eyes staring daggers at you.

Everything about this portrait bears an uncanny resemblance to Roy Keane. Except, it's not.

The former Manchester United star's doppelganger has been discovered in nothing less than a Renaissance painting, the Irish Mirror reports.

The mysterious man in the painting by Italian renaissance artist Paolo Veronese - called Portrait of Gentleman in a Fur - looks remarkably similar to the Ireland manager - right down to the grey-streaked beard (though we're not too sure about the fur-lined clothes).

Dated somewhere between 1550 - 1560, the painting hangs in the Galleria Palatina in Florence.

The identity of the man in the portrait is unknown.

The artist - originally born Paolo Caliari - was a Venice-based artist that is considered one of the ‘great trio of painters that dominated Venetian painting’ in the late 16th century.

A photo of the painting was posted to reddit by Deeheefish on September 3.

Man Gropes Mannequin In Public

A man was caught on camera as he inappropriately touched a mannequin in the middle of a busy street - in broad daylight.

The astonishing clip shows the man check over his shoulder several times before grabbing hold of the plastic model's breasts.

He then leans in and kisses her on the chest, before moving his hands down to her bottom.

The man gropes the lingerie-clad mannequin's posterior for several seconds as several cars pass by his indiscreet location.

In full view of the street, he makes one final obscene gesture before he quickly turns on his heel and walks away from the model.

A van blares its horn, apparently in the man's direction as it drives past.

The video's description suggests that the man is an Arab but does not state where the footage was filmed.

The bizarre clip was shared across viral video site LiveLeak.com on July 3 and has already clocked up more than 105,000 views.

KFC is launching a comic book featuring Colonel Sanders next week

KFC shot down rumours Colonel Sanders was cooking up mutant chickens with eight legs and six wings… but maybe fictional ones will appear in the new comic book he’s writing.

Judging from the teaser image it will feature a standard Western plotline, but we think some robotic alien cockerels could really shake things up.

Fast food fans can get a copy of ‘KFC Presents: The Colonel’s Adventure Comics’ at next weekend’s San Diego Comic-Con.

The Colonel tempted fans on Twitter telling them: ‘If you love comics and fried chicken and subliminal marketing, then you’ll love this exclusive comic about me!’

His website promises people can ‘learn the true story of how Colonel Sanders shot a man, delivered babies, and made the world’s best chicken’, so maybe his new graphic novel will grapple with these gripping themes.

Man Buys Fallout 4 PipBoy Edition with Bottle Caps

Ahhh.... Bottle Caps.

The currency everyone speaks in Fallout.

The Bottle Caps

Well guess what?! Someone has been saving up their beloved bottle caps for 7.5 years and wrote to Bethesda in the hope of securing a copy of Fallout.

Most people laughed this off around the web but the idea has actually paid off.

Bethesda have confirmed that they will honor this and give the guy a copy of the game.

Below is the copy of the letter that is nothing short of genius:

So who says bottle caps aren't real currency.

Hats of to Bethesda on this one!

Man gets naked, pours milk on himself and runs through supermarket

A man got naked, poured milk on himself and then ran through a supermarket screaming that he was on fire, police said.

Police were informed of a YouTube video that was taken at a branch of Walmart in Kentucky during the week.

In the video, a man wearing nothing but a mask, white socks and black trainers grabs two containers of milk and pours them over his head before running through the aisles of the supermarket screaming that he’s on fire.

‘Well the first question I would have is why?’ Pike County Sheriff Rodney Scott told FOX2Now.

‘Why would he want to do that? They can go to jail and they will go to jail.’

Police have made no arrests yet, though warrants are out for the streaker and his cameraman.

Children’s camp forced to change monument because it looks like genitals

One of the most evolved traits of human beings is our ability to spot phalluses in everyday objects… we assume.

That might be why an installation at at children’s camp has been altered because locals have pointed out how much it resembles male genitalia.

The innocent creation of the giant sausage and bread roll was intended to celebrate the local food known as a ‘kovbasa’.

However rather than show a respect for the local Crimean delicacy, visitors to the park have instead been left in fits of giggles due to the monument.

Officials have now decided to discretely remove part of the scene to make it slightly less X-rated.

By taking out the bread role (which people said resembled a testicle to the phallus-like sausage) they hope to have rid the scene of it’s childish humour.

This is the happiest photo in the world

What do you think of this photo? Did it make you smile?

Of course it did – science tells us so.

That’s right, the ‘happiest photo in the world’ has been found via a poll, and a psychologist can

explain exactly what about this photo will make an estimated 71 per cent of people who look at it smile.

Dr Simon Moore tells us exactly what will make your Facebook friends ‘lol’ and what will leave them ‘meh’ about the photos your share.

Dr Moor says: ‘The unexpected element in this shot, and our response to it, may help to explain why photo-bombing has become such a popular trend – it results in an unexpected emotional experience.

‘Sudden ‘nice’ surprises are good as psychologically we feel we got more than we were expecting.’

Melissa Brandts and her husband Jackson took the squirrel photo in 2009, and submitted it to the survey commissioned by Coca-Cola for their #choosehappiness campaign.

Clocked this being shared on Facebook today and thought I would share on here.

Some of the reactions on this are great.

Someone just tried to rob a bank with a ‘bomb’ made from a sex toy

A man has robbed a bank using a homemade ‘bomb’ made out of a sex toy and a mobile phone.

So far so random.

When the man told cashiers at PNC Bank in Pittsburgh that the suspicious-looking item trailing tape and wires he had hidden under his shirt was a bomb, they handed over the cash before calling 911.

When police eventually caught up with Aaron Stein and placed him under arrest they sent in a bomb-disposal robot to deal with the suspected explosive device, only to find it was made out of a vibrator.

The 35-year-old reportedly created his pretend bomb out of a box, some tape, a mobile phone cord and a dildo.

He now faces the rare charge of ‘possessing a facsimile weapon of mass destruction’.

University to offer Zombie Apocalypse course

The zombie apocalypse is coming, that’s a fact. And if you want to be prepared you should probably enroll in Michigan State University’s new course, “Surviving the Coming Zombie Apocalypse: Catastrophes & Human Behavior.”

The course, according to Time Magazine, focuses on how humans behave when faced with plagues or other catastrophic events. The course will cover the hypothetical questions concerning a zombie uprising, but will also look at how to deal with earthquakes, plagues, falling meteors and other doomsday scenarios.

According to the course catalog:

“The question at the center of this course is, “How do humans behave in catastrophic times?” Does their behavior change in the midst of trying to survive and the decisions they face? We will examine major catastrophic events from the past, look to potential future events, and consider a concept for increasing our chances of survival.”

So if there is a zombie apocalypse, is our only chance of salvation resting in the hands of MSU alum. Thankfully, no. The course will be available through the university’s Lifelong Education program which is open to everyone who meets the requirements (mainly a high school diploma).

The course will be taught by Glenn Stutzky, who summed up the program to TIME.com by saying: “In a time of catastrophe, some people find their humanity; other lose theirs.”

Idiot Jedi

An Oregon judge has used his force to order a 45-day jail sentence and mental health evaluation for a would-be Jedi who attacked toy store customers with a pair of lightsabers.

David Allen Canterbury, 33, told Judge Kenneth Walker that he is already seeking mental health treatment. Canterbury also apologized to his victims.

The Oregonian reported that Canterbury pleaded no contest Monday to assault and resisting arrest.

Canterbury had a "Star Wars" lightsaber in each hand as he swung at three customers last Dec. 14 at a Toys R Us store, Portland police said. He carried the lightsabers outside the store and swung at police.

According to The Oregonian, police attempted to shoot Canterbury with a Taser but the suspected deflected one of the wires away.

Officers eventually wrestled him to the ground.

No one was injured, the newspaper reported.

Canterbury has been banned from the toy store.
