Here we go again...
Girl told to pull over... As part of her university project a young girl has knitted a lifesize Ferrari Testa Rossa. Lauren Porter decided it was the right thing to do and used 12 miles of wool doing it!

Cut out the absent friends...
Friends of one Michael Blake, who died in a car crash, decided that their World Cup trip wouldn't be the same without him - so they took along a life-size cardboard cutout of their friend with them. Their friend has been out drinking and dancing with them as well as attending the matches.

More goodies... like....
Ducking and diving, bobbing and weaving... Anyone remember a story quite a few years ago (14 to be precise) about a container vessel losing a box-load of plastic bath toys (28,000 of them, and mainly ducks) in a storm in the Pacific off the coast of China? Well, they are apparently still bobbing around the world's oceans and reported sightings have been tracked by scientists over the years. It all adds up now to there being a better understanding of how the oceans tides and currents work. A plastic frog has been sghted several times , notably off the coast of Scotland in 2003. Some of the animals navigated the Bering Straits in 1995, and then a few of these were seen trapped in slow moving ice in the Arctic Ocean in 2000. Others were found in 2001 in the same area where the Titanic sunk. Treat that bathtime creature with a little more respect tonight, will you, please..?!

Flatpack furniture syndrome? - you definitely need to get out more often...
An art student has created a fully-functioning cross bow from a set of IKEA clothes hangers - it fires the little pencils that the stores give out for free. The student hasn't stopped there either. He's taken an IKEA bent-wood chair and turned it into a sledge. ' I looked around my room and saw it was full of IKEA products. It was easy to turn them into something else...' Oooooh, Dear...!!

Revenge is sweet - big-time!
A cheating husband was greeted by a billboard message from his wife, as he drove to work in Los Angeles. The message cost £21,000 ($40,000), and read: 'Hi Steven! Do I have your attention now? I know all about her, you sneaky, immoral, unfaithful, poorly-endowed slimeball! Everything's caught on tape!. Your (soon to be ex) wife, Emily. PS I paid for this from our joint account!' Ooops!

Failed her driving test - the examiner was feeling a bit rundown...
A woman was so nervous about her driving test that she drove through a wall as she arrived at the test centre in Calgary, Canada - and ran over the examiner..!

This cheating husband thing is, I've heard, viral marketing for an upcoming TV show.

============================================================= IKEA WALKTHROUGH v2.3.1 ============================================================= IKEA is a fully immersive, 3D environmental adventure that allows you to role-play the character of someone who gives a shit about home furnishings. In traversing IKEA, you will experience a meticulously detailed alternate reality filled with garish colors, clear-lacquered birch veneer, and a host of NON-PLAYER CHARACTERS (NPCs) with the glazed looks of the recently anesthetized...

I'm still convinced that IKEA is an EU covert op designed to inculcate the metric system and ISO paper sizes in the young and vulnerable though psyops.

Book-ends...
From Monday's UK Daily Mail - surreal....: BODY LOST BEHIND A BOOKCASE FOR A FORTNIGHT The body of a woman missing for two weeks was found wedged upside-down behind a bookcase in her room. Mariesa Weber, 38, became trapped as she reached behind the 6-foot high bookcase to adjust a plug for her television. Her family spent a fortnight searching for her, fearing she had been kidnapped, Posters were distributed around New Port Richey, Florida, where she lived with her parents and younger sister Gia. Miss Weber, who was only 5 ft 3 ins and weighed seven stone, is believed to have suffocated. Her body was eventually discovered when her sister noticed a foot protruding from behind the bookcase. Her mother, Corinne,said: 'I'm sleeping in the same house as her for 11 days, looking for her. And she's right in the bedroom.' Mrs Weber said that they had noticed a strange smell from her room, but had blamed it on rats. She added: 'She's a little thing and the bookcase is six feet tall and solid. It seems she just couldn't get out.'
