Yellow Snow
Richard Kral was driving along the Slovak Tatra Mountains when an avalanche swept him and his car away, trapping him under several feet of snow. Kral considered digging himself out, but soon realized that as he dug the snow would fill his car. While pondering the problem over one of the 60 beers he brought with him, Kral realized he could dig through the snow, and then urinate on it to melt it so it wouldn’t fill his car. Four days later, a rescue team found Kral drunk and staggering along a mountain road. Kral said digging out was hard work, and that his kidneys and liver hurt, but that he was glad to be alive.
Insomniac
Song Shikuan, a resident of the Henan province in China, claims that he hasn’t gotten a night’s sleep since he turned 20 years old- amazing considering he is now 71. Before 20, Song said he used to get at most two hours of sleep a night, but now he claims he only takes a nap lasting a few minutes. The local hospital where he works as a cleaner is treating him, but has not yet been able to find the cause of his insomnia.
Tailor-made jimi hats company
A Taiwanese has introduced a new service to the world – custom-made condoms. SakuNet International makes 55 different sizes of condoms – ranging from 3 inches to 9.4 inches – while the most common size sold in Taiwan is 4.2 inches long and 1.9 inches in diameter, the company said. Company manager Huang Wanting said that ill-fitting condoms can often break or slip off, adding to the risk of pregnancy, but with SakuNet’s service all men have to do is log on to the company’s Web site, print out a measurement card and order the required size. To avoid embarrassment the cards have no measurements on them, just serial numbers. So far the company has sold 60,000 condoms of various sizes, he said.
Falling down drunk
A 30-year-old man identified only as Oleg went to a friends party in Moscow and decided to drink a bottle of vodka. Feeling woozy, Oleg stepped out onto the balcony to get some fresh air and clear his head, but friends said as he stepped onto the balcony he lost his balance and fell 40 feet to the ground and bounced. The fall must have cleared his head, because afterward he stood up, walked back up to the party and continued drinking as if nothing had happened.
Dirty mouth
Swedish scientists announced that during an average open-mouthed, or French, kiss over 400,000 parasites and 250 types of bacteria – as well as .7 grams of protein, .45 grams of fat and .19 grams of other organic substances – are exchanged. The study was done as part of an effort to promote better oral hygiene in Sweden. Swedish pharmacies taking part in the oral hygiene campaign are also looking for a couple to break the world record in kissing on Valentine’s Day. The current record is held by Louisa Almedovar and Rich Langely, from New Jersey, who kissed for 30 hours, 59 minutes and 17 seconds in 2001.
From hard up to lock up
A robber in Ohio was arrested recently following his request for a date – from a woman he just helped rob. Police said the 25-year-old was one of three men who robbed a pizza deliverywoman in New Castle by ordering a pizza to a home, surrounding her and taking her cash and the two pizzas. Later, the man called her cell phone to apologize and ask for a date. The 18-year-old victim turned down his offer, but gave the phone number to the police.
