Man tunnels into GameStop, steals games | THINQ.co.uk. Computer game piracy is big business, but there are still those who prefer to get their games the old-fashioned way: by digging a tunnel into their local games shop and making off with as much stock as they can carry. At least, that's the slightly bizarre approach taken by a man from Greeneville, Tennessee, who was arrested late last week after being caught tunnelling into his local GameStop store from an empty adjoining building.
The heist, which would perhaps have been more suited to robbing a bank than a games retailer, resulted in Steven Archer, 33, making off with almost $300 in cash and around $5,400 in games - hardly the scam of the century, but a pretty good haul nevertheless. Sadly for Archer, he didn't have long to enjoy his ill-gotten gains: leaving a trail of evidence, the man was arrested by Detective Pat Hankins and charged with felony burglary, according to local paper The Greenville Sun. Minnesotan Pregnancy Survives Tornado-Dropped Cow. 12 Year-old McDonald’s Burger Shows No Sign of Decay. Our intrigue regarding the eternal shelf life of a McDonald’s hamburger began after reading of New York photographer Sally Davies’ exploits involving a Happy Meal Project: Davies purchased a Happy Meal, and perched the McDonald’s hamburger and french fries on a table. As an experiment, she photographed the meal every few days to measure the rate of spoilage.
Her photographs revealed that after 145 days, the burger and fries appeared as fresh as the day they were purchased from McDonald’s nearly 5 months ago. Our interest was really piqued when we discovered that several other concerned consumers had conducted similar McDonald’s burger experiments. In these experiments, none of the McDonald’s hamburgers decomposed after extended periods of time raging from 1 year to over a decade. Author and obesity activist Julia Havey stored a McDonald’s cheeseburger and fries for 4 years, and Joann Bruso, a 62-year-old grandmother, held on to a McDonald’s Happy Meal for a whole year. Ingredients 1. 2. Woman aiming to be world's heaviest.
A 43 stone US lady has a giant-sized ambition - to be the world's heaviest woman. Donna Simpson, 44, from Old Bridge, New Jersey, who is 5ft 4ins tall, has a target weight of 72 stone. To do so she consumes up to 12,000 calories a day, eating up to 70 pieces of sushi - her favourite food - at one sitting. Mrs Simpson says her weight gain began when her first husband, a chef, encouraged her to eat, bringing home leftovers from work. When they divorced, shortly after she gave birth to their son Devin, she piled on the pounds. A few years later she decided to try and lose weight and managed to drop five stone in six months.
She was even due to have a gastric band operation until a friend died during a similar operation. She met her current boyfriend - 13st, 6ft 4ins Philippe Gouamba - in an online chat room for oversized women in 2006. Despite doctors telling her it would be almost impossible for her to conceive, Mrs Simpson fell pregnant within months of their meeting. Weekly World News | Archive. Twinkie diet helps nutrition professor lose 27 pounds. Nutrition professor's "convenience store diet" helped him shed 27 pounds Haub limited himself to 1,800 calories and two-thirds come from junk foodHaub said it's too early to draw any conclusions about diet (CNN) -- Twinkies. Nutty bars. Powdered donuts. For 10 weeks, Mark Haub, a professor of human nutrition at Kansas State University, ate one of these sugary cakelets every three hours, instead of meals. His premise: That in weight loss, pure calorie counting is what matters most -- not the nutritional value of the food.
The premise held up: On his "convenience store diet," he shed 27 pounds in two months. For a class project, Haub limited himself to less than 1,800 calories a day. His body mass index went from 28.8, considered overweight, to 24.9, which is normal. But you might expect other indicators of health would have suffered. Haub's "bad" cholesterol, or LDL, dropped 20 percent and his "good" cholesterol, or HDL, increased by 20 percent. Espresso, Double: 6 calories; 0 grams of fat. Largest testicles of any species? That would be the bush cricket | Science. The animal kingdom has gained a new record holder after scientists declared a species of cricket to possess the largest known testes of any creature in relation to its body mass. Delicate measurements of the tuberous bush cricket, Platycleis affinis, showed that its testes accounted for 14% of the insect's body weight.
If the same proportion were applied to a man, his testicles would weigh the equivalent of six bags of sugar each. Scientist at the universities of Cambridge and Derby examined the testes of 21 species of bush cricket as part of an investigation into the evolutionary consequences of the insects' sexual habits. "These really are quite phenomenal testes.
They take up nearly the whole of the bush cricket's abdomen. Writing in the journal Biology Letters, Vehad and his colleagues explain that larger testes are usually found in animals where the female mates repeatedly with different males. Vahed's team found that different rules apply to bush crickets. Pea plant grows inside man's lung. 11 August 2010Last updated at 17:59 Can the humble pea grow anywhere? A Massachusetts man who was rushed to hospital with a collapsed lung came home with an unusual diagnosis: a pea plant was growing in his lung. Ron Sveden had been battling emphysema for months when his condition deteriorated. He was steeling himself for a cancer diagnosis when X-rays revealed the growth in his lung. Doctors believe that Mr Sveden ate the pea at some point, but it "went down the wrong way" and sprouted.
"One of the first meals I had in the hospital after the surgery had peas for the vegetable. Mr Sveden said the plant was about half an inch (1.25cm) in size. "Whether this would have gone full-term and I'd be working for the Jolly Green Giant, I don't know. He is currently recovering at home with his wife Nancy, who joked that God must have a sense of humour. Alien Hand Syndrome sees woman attacked by her own hand. Crematorium could help heat council swimming pool | Environment. A council is proposing to save money – and combat global warming – by heating a leisure centre and swimming pool using heat generated by the crematorium next door.
Redditch council in Worcestershire says it can save £14,500 a year by warming its new Abbey Stadium sports centre with heat from the crematorium's incinerators that would otherwise be lost. The council, which says it is the first project of its kind in the UK, is holding briefings later this week with faith groups, funeral directors and members of the public to discuss the scheme. But some local people are concerned.
Simon Thomas, of Thomas Brothers funeral directors, said: "I don't know how comfortable people would feel about the swimming pool being heated due to the death of a loved one, I think it's a bit strange and eerie. " Council leader Carole Gandy defended the plans, saying it would save money and energy. Starbucks Introduces Its Largest Size Drink: The... - Laughing Squid.
