Woman eats 173 buffalos

Now this story isn't in my normal remit of cheeky, sexy ones but I couldn't resist it. The first time I went to the States, I discovered Buffalo Wings. They're amazing! So spicy, tasty, hot - yum! Can't find them in the UK, not done properly...

A 7.5st woman ate 173 chicken wings in 12 minutes to win a US competitive eating contest.

"That's 2.35kgs of wings," said Brian Kahle, spokesman for the annual event in Buffalo, New York.

Ms Thomas has set numerous records in competitive eating events, including 37 hot dogs in 12 minutes, 35 bratwursts in 10 minutes, 11-pounds of cheesecake in nine minutes and 44 lobsters in 12 minutes.

She is ranked number five by the International Federation of Competitive Eating.

All that and she's not even number one!

Peeping Tomasinas

Says Ananova:

Women are worse oglers than men - despite the widespread belief they are less physically focused.

Scientists used eye-tracking technology to pinpoint what people looked at when shown a series of sexy photos, reports The Sun.

Dr Heather Rupp of the US-based Kinsey Institute said: "Men looked at the female face much more than women and both looked at the genitals comparably."

They didn't need to do a study on that - why didn't they just ask us!? We could have told 'em the package is the first thing to check out! ;)

A head for heights

I'm a sucker for a happy ending...

Two high-rise Chinese window cleaners got married dangling in the air on their work platforms.

Jiang Dezhang, 27, and 26-year-old Tie Guangju both sat on wooden boards supported by ropes and pulleys.

"Our wedding was both romantic and like our daily work", said husband Jiang.

As the couple were exchanging rings a scroll came down from the top of the building with the words "High Altitude Love" written on it.

I particularly like the quote from Jiang. There's a man who tells it like it is.

Leave it to science

One to make the men out there shudder, from Ananova:

Curator Sigurdur Hjartarson opened the world's onlt penis museum in 1974 in Husavik, Iceland, and has collected 195 penises from various animals.

But now he is appealing again for a human organ.

He said people from the UK, Germany and the US had contacted him offering their penises in the past but that none of the offers had ever been serious.

As prank calls go, offering to donate your friend's penis to a museum is up there with the best. Just make sure you don't sign anything!

Sex mad koala does Vienna

A sweet little teddy tale, courtesy of Ananova:

Managers at Vienna's Schoenbrunn zoo had despaired their own male koala would ever get to grips with the bear necessities.

But five-year-old Chumbee, on loan from Edinburgh zoo, has succeeded where romantic music, erotic koala movies and aphrodisiac foods had all failed.

Zoo manager Helmut Pechlaner said: "Chumbee hasn't stopped since he got here, it has been almost non stop sex in the koala enclosure ever since, and now even our own male is joining in.

And zoo veterinarian Hanna Vielgrader added: "The only break is to eat or sleep, other than that there's no stopping them.

Who says romance is dead?

Naked news

What a fantastic idea to make news more watchable. A striptease news show with sign language for hearing-impaired viewers. Even better, the Japanese government was subsidising it... until it got cold feet!

Reuters reports that:

The funding dried up when the government, under fire for supporting "Naked Sign Language News," changed funding guidelines for programming aimed at the disabled to exclude pornography, local media reported.

"Of course we will continue making the program," said Shinichiro Fukuyama, a spokesman for makers Paradise Television. "We weren't doing it for the subsidy, we just wanted to make something viewers would enjoy."

All I can say is, what a marvellously apt surname...

British dwarf's penis gets stuck to hoover

There are some accidents and problems in life that are unavoidable. You just can't see them coming no matter how wisely you plan. Other incidents, however, are perhaps a little more predictable.

Yahoo reports on the case of the dwarf performer at the Edinburgh fringe festival who had to be rushed to hospital after his penis got stuck to a vacuum cleaner.

The main part of his act saw him appear on stage with a vacuum cleaner attached to his member through a special attachment.

The attachment broke before the performance and Blackner tried to fix it using extra-strong glue, but unfortunately only let it dry for 20 seconds instead of the 20 minutes required.

He then joined it directly to his organ. The end result? A solid attachment, laughter, mortification and ... hospitalisation.

"It was the most embarrassing moment of my life when I got wheeled into a packed AE with a vacuum attached to me," Blackner said.

I'm thinking, you play with fire, you're probably going to get burnt!

The really ludicrous thing is his embarrassment. I mean, he pulls around a vacuum cleaner on stage by his penis for a living. And yet as soon as he goes to hospital he gets all shy. Nutter!

Waves of delight

Hilarious story about a floating brothel, off the coast near Poole in Dorset, of all places. Ananova reports:

A couple who use a speedboat as a floating brothel to lure customers from a nudist beach are being hunted by police.

Shocked bathers looked on as a stream of men swam out for one-hour frolics in the cabin.

Just imagine the trade they'd have had if this summer wasn't a complete washout. They'd need a fleet of speedboats!

I love you, @

A Chinese couple tried to name their baby "@," claiming the character used in e-mail addresses echoed their love for the child, reports Reuters.

It's the kind of thing we all joked about a few years ago but never did, so hats off to the daring duo. It makes me wonder: what other symbols would be cool names for kids?

& - Ampersand - Amp for short. That's quite funky.

* - Star - not bad. Bit hippy.

( - Open parentheses - not exactly snappy.

Any others you think might be good for 21st Century children?

Legless bikers

I pride myself on having a fairly high pain threshold but this guy just takes the biscuit! Reuters reports that:

a Japanese biker failed to notice his leg had been severed below the knee when he hit a safety barrier, and rode on for more than a mile, leaving a friend to pick up the missing limb.

The man and his leg were taken to a hospital, but the limb had been crushed in the collision.

I mean, how do you NOT notice something like that?

Mirror mirror

Mirror mirror on the wall - who is the fairest of them all? Apparently, it's students. Hard to believe, I know!

According to Ananova,

A German landlady has been ordered to repay a lodger's rent money because she installed a two-way mirror in his bathroom.

The lodger moved into the woman's apartment in October 2005, along with two fellow students. They left four months later after discovering the voyeuristic mirror.

At the back of the mirror was a small chamber where police found pornographic magazines and videos.

This, I have to say, is pretty weird. And I don't understand why the police haven't taken an interest in this - surely there must be some law in Germany that prohibits peeping? If not, I'm hanging towels over all the mirrors next time I take a trip there...!

Swimming in the nude

Naked swimming. One of life's little pleasures. But one New Yorker went a litle too far with his late-night exploits off Long Beach. Friends thought he'd got into trouble and called out search parties... but he was found at 5:30am the next morning hiding under a pier! Turns out he got a bit embarrassed. Bless!

Work in progress

Well, we've been working hard on the site and finally have all the new products up. If you see anything that's cheaper elsewhere, let me know... because I've tried to price ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING at its lowest possible value!

Site design is still a bit yucky but we'll get there soon!

Love,
Kitty
