Ah, the excesses of capitalism. This website is a collection of the most expensive and most worthless items in the world. You can search by category (fashion, toys, food, tech, etc.) or by value (£, ££, ££££££££££, etc.).
My favourite item has to be the Chanel Segway (in the toys category). It sells for $12,000 and comes with a Chanel handbag and matching black quilted-leather mud flaps and handlebars.

For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health? Not for Melanie Sykes it would seem. The former star of Des & Mel (FYI, she was Mel) has been granted a divorce in a court hearing that lasted less than 30 seconds (looks like the Daily Mail reporter brought a stopwatch with him).For richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health?

Of course, we always knew we were smarter, but now there's proof!
A study at Brunel University tracked 200 students over a period of 4 years and concluded that, even though both genders had almost identical A-Level results, the girls of the group consistently outperformed the boys on their courses, especially in the geography and earth science department.
Well done ladies!Of course, we always knew we were smarter, but now there's proof!

A 36 year old Russian woman witnessed her husband recieving oral sex from another woman and made him pay the ultimate price: his bits.

Ok, so being a woman, I find these pictures to be more disturbing and freaky than sexy, but there may be some of you (ahem, guys) out there who like this sort of thing.

Expectant mothers can determine whether they're carrying a boy or a girl as early as 10 weeks after conception, according to an over-the-counter gender prediction test by a Plano, Texas, company.
IntelliGender, the creator of the "Boy or Girl Gender Prediction Test," say scientists isolated certain hormones that when combined with a "proprietary mix of chemicals" react differently if a women is carrying a boy or a girl.
It claims that within 10 minutes of taking the urine test, a mother will be able to tell her baby's gender. The specimen will turn green if it's a boy, and orange if it's a girl.
The gender predictor test boasts a 78 to 80 percent accuracy rate, according to the latest IntelliGender report.
Some say the issue gets dicey when a parent makes a decisions about whether to carry on with the pregnancy after the results are revealed.
"Say a woman has three daughters and wants to get pregnant one last time to have a baby boy. If she takes the test at 10 weeks, and it's not the sex she wants, she may want to terminate and try again," said Jennifer Parks, co-director of Loyola University Chicago's Programs in Health Care Ethics.

According to FitSugar, we should be waking up in the morning and shouting at the first person we see. That way we'll sleep better.
Okay, not quite. No irrational shouting at strangers. But if you've got something to peeve about to someone you should do it earlier in the day so you can go to bed without all those niggling stresses hanging over.
My problem with this is that I would then spend all the time before bed remembering who I had to shout at first thing the next morning, and what about, and would probably not be able to fall asleep for thinking about it.

Is this really news? Men are apparently now wearing colour in their wardrobes.
Firstly, well, d'uh, I've been doing this for a long time, and yes, I can safely say that it feels much better to wear a bit of a rainbow everyday (ah, Skittles).
Secondly, did this reporter miss two years ago trend of colourful slacks and skinny jeans amongst the young folk, not to mention Nu Rave. Alright, it was all a bit Shoreditch at the time, but still.
Thirdly, I jettisoned myself out of dull corportate land two months ago, but from what I remember, men were still wearing black and grey suits. (Do remember one hilarious moment when five guys walked past, all chatting to each other, all wearing pink shirts).
Fourthly, check the pictures of the 10 guys, most are wearing a bright jumper but dull jeans.
But let me not decry past-it fashion reporters too much. Go out there boys, and wear something a bit brighter. In these grey days it'll make you feel better.Is this really news? Men are apparently now wearing colour in their wardrobes.... more

Apparently you're not the only one.
Thousands of British people are having trouble sleeping at least once a week due to thinking about their money worries, and a shocking 1 in 6 of us are turning to alcohol to help get to sleep.
This article also says that around 30% of people are reading in bed, while the same amount of people are playing computer games because of restlessness caused by financial pressure.
As much as I feel the "credit crunch" is mostly media hype to scare us into cutting back on what we enjoy in life, if it's causing us this much strain in our personal lives, it seems we should try thinking about something else...Apparently you're not the only one.

So apparently you'll be more successful romantically if you declare your love for someone... okay maybe not so extreme, but if you tell someone exactly how you feel as soon as you realise you're attracted to them, you're more likely to have a connection.
A Dr. Ben Jones conducted studies that show if you simply tell someone you find them attractive straight off the bat, it both saves you time chatting up someone who is uninterested and (if they are interested) it will give you both a positive start to a potential relationship.
So being honest is the way forward, who would've guessed!So apparently you'll be more successful romantically if you declare your love for... more

Females are not the only vain creatures these days – more and more men are resorting to plastic surgery in a proposal to improve their looks, albeit through artificial and painful means. But while some men are choosing to go under the knife for purely personal or aesthetic reasons, others are taking the leap because they believe it will improve their career professionally – and make them a more powerful – or at least more attractive - force to be reckoned with.
The unfortunate fact is, men desire the similar things that women want: to look younger, fitter and thinner, with regular, even features and a healthy glow. They are starting to recognize that in today’s aggressive market, looking tired and haggard with droopy eyelids, dark circles and a weak chin just will not cut it. And if they have huge boobs and a fat belly to boot – well, forget about becoming a vice president in the firm, let alone the CEO.
It is estimated that the grooming market for men is worth more than $3.5 billion these days, with more and more members of the male species going under the knife for cosmetic reasons. In one study of people of the masculine persuasion carried out by – not surprisingly – a plastic surgeon, it was found that:
* Four percent believed that their level of bodily attractiveness would affect their success on the job, and make them seem more powerful
* 42 percent believed that their career would be made stronger if they could only improve one little thing about their face
* 32 percent thought that looking younger would affect their business performance more positively
Plastic Fantastic
Here is a list of the most common plastic procedures for men, in no specific order:
* Gynecomastia, or Male Breast Reduction. it is estimated that about 15 percent of all men are dissatisfied with the size of their breasts, and now some are finally doing something about it. Men develop man boobs, or moobs, for a range of reasons, including hormonal changes, steroid abuse and being drastically overweight. Surgery to get rid of them sometimes involves a full operation, while on some occasions means utilizing the latest in liposuction combined with laser surgery.
* Eyelid Surgery. Also known as blepharoplasty for men, this procedure can be purely cosmetic, functional or both. It seeks to correct both sagging upper eyelids, as well as puffy bags underneath the eyes. Usually performed under just local anesthesia, it trims away excess fat, muscle and skin, with the remaining bits reattached in a manner that makes the eye area appear younger and more refreshed. The result: tighter, more taut eyelids and smoother under-eye areas.

Not content with marrying off two frogs in the hope it'll bring an early monsoon:
http://current.com/items/90143394_frogs-hitched-in-indian-monsoon-ceremony.htm
Indian villagers in the state of Rajasthan have now joined two trees together in 'holy' matrimony
This ceremony uniting two Peepal trees is believed to symbolise the union between the protector god Vishnu and the goddess Lakshmi, from Hindu legend. The Peepal tree was picked for the marriage because in folklore Lakshmi is believed to live in it.
Beyond the cultural and religous meaning behind the tree wedding, the Indian people also hope the occasion will help people understand better the importance of trees to the environment. The wedding was held soon before the country's environment day.Not content with marrying off two frogs in the hope it'll bring an early monsoon:... more

Quirky names are not a product of the modern era, research by Ancestory.co.uk unveiled recently, and neither is naming your child after a popular culture reference. For example, use of the name Annie soared after Annie Oakley shot to fame, and Alice appeared more often following the publication of Lewis Carroll's "Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland". Brooklyn and Apple are not as original as once thought, appearing in public registers in 1870 and 1853 respectivly.
I wonder how long it will take until the world has its first offically named Lady Gaga. Or a whole family named after the Cullens.Quirky names are not a product of the modern era, research by Ancestory.co.uk unveiled... more

Undergraduates at Oxford University seem have to mislaid their gowns...and all the rest of their clothing. A group of scholars agreed to pose for a saucy naked calendar to raise money for poverty-stricken third world countries.
And their antics have caused something of a stir with their straight-laced tutors, since all the scenes were shot in Oxford's most famous historic locations.
One surprised college warden said the £10 calendar had embarrassed traditionalists at the alma mater of Einstein, Stephen Hawking and 25 British Prime Ministers.
'It's not something that would have happened in my day', he said. 'I certainly blushed when I saw it but the students are having a good time and all the proceeds go to charity so it's worth it.'
Rosie Batty, a 20-year-old Physics student from East Sussex who features on the front cover and two inside pages described stripping off in the university grounds as a 'real buzz'.
Rosie, who appears in February's shoot cuddling up to a naked male student and in the naked punting pose said: 'Punting naked on the river was the naughtiest. It was 5.30 in the morning and I'm sure some of the windows from nearby halls were steaming up from people looking at us.'
Around 60 students took part in the calendar in aid of Oxford-based charity TravelAid.Undergraduates at Oxford University seem have to mislaid their gowns...and all the... more

Hello Women.
We are about to have a regular slot on Current TV's up-and-coming Friday night show for the ladies in which we solve women's problems (not in the old fashioned sense, unfortunately). Here's why...
Ladies, your girlfriends are brilliant for fashion tips, pinot grigio binges and generally having a laugh but when it comes to dishing out advice, your best mates are often your worst enemies - they tell you what you want to hear, hold back on the criticism and only give you a girl’s eye view on relationship matters.
To right this wrong, we - Tom (the posh boy), Klaud (the queen) and Wade (the geezer) - are soliciting letters from female users on current.com and dedicating some serious man time to sorting out your girly problems. With a pint in hand, each week we'll tackle real and modern problems such as “I’ve slept with 40 men, should I tell my curious new boyfriend the truth?’ or, ‘our insecure friend is marrying a total arsehole, should we speak up?’ and, ‘is it right to be bothered by my new boyfriend’s bisexuality?’.
With our three very different and opinionated perspectives, each week we slug it out to give you girls our very honest, sometimes brutal but always practical advice...
We assume you want to be anonymous so just send us your problem(s) to our email address. No problem is too big or small and can be about ANYTHING at all. We just want to hear from you!
All The best,
Tom, Klaud and Wade xxxHello Women.
