Man's iron head fails him

Boasting that he has a head as hard as iron, a young man in Qingdao of Shandong Province tried to crush an empty beer bottle against his head and needed emergency surgery on Tuesday afternoon.

Shan was drinking beer with one of his friends in a restaurant when he saw a man collapsing a wall with his head on TV.

Claiming that he also possessed such an amazing capability, Shan took an empty bottle on the table and slammed it into his head. His head immediately began to bleed. Shan was sent to a hospital and given seven stitches.

A Racy Twist for "Survivor"

Some may call it exploiting racial tensions. CBS calls it darn good television.

Jeff Probst popped in on The Early Show Wednesday morning, confirming the reports that the 20 castaways for Survivor: Cook Islands will be grouped by race, with competitors divided into four tribes consisting of whites, blacks, Asians and Hispanics.

Apparently, "separate but equal" holds only the warmest of connotations for Mark Burnett.

Like a good host, Probst had nothing but praise for the producers' controversial brainchild, calling the exercise in segregation a valuable social experiment, rather than a stunt to dig up some controversy--and raise ratings.

"The idea for this actually came from the criticism that Survivor was not ethnically diverse enough, because for whatever reason, we always have a low number of minority applicants apply for the show," Probst said.

Penny Arcade Video Game Announced

Holy fruit fucker!

Penny Arcade, not content to pump out comics, raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for sick children and put on ginormous fanfests, is getting into the game development biz.

Tycho and Gabe announced today that they are teaming up with Hothead Games to create an indie, episodic video games based on their comic.

The first game, entitled Penny Arcade Adventures: On the Rain-Slick Precipice of Darkness, will be a comic adventure game for Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. No date has yet been set for its release.

The game will be sold and delivered digitally, though the team hasn't figured out yet who will handle that aspect.

"We are right now looking at different vendors," Robert Khoo, director of business relations for Penny Arcade, told me. "Steam is always a possibility."

The episodic game, which will feature many fan favorites from the Penny Arcade universe (including the Fruit Fucker), will be delivered in monthly installments.

Khoo said that the PA team decided to go with Hothead because they like their previous work and felt content that they would remain faithful to the feel of Penny Arcade. Khoo added that Gabe and Tycho will have an enormous amount of input into the game, including providing art and writing the story.

that kinda sounds like a sell out - since tycho is forever moaning about episodic content and the pay-for-extra aspect of it

Swiss police stop multi-tasking motorist
A 34-year-old saleswoman was caught driving down a Swiss motorway while she was using her laptop computer and chatting on a handheld mobile phone, police in north-eastern Switzerland say.

The driver said she was unaware of any wrongdoing and responded that she was "driving like I always do", police in the canton of St Gallen said in a statement.

A police patrol pulled her over on Wednesday afternoon after they saw her car zig-zagging along the A3 motorway near the town of Murg.

The woman was remanded to a Magistrates Court because of her "unreasonable behaviour", police said.

Car crashes as Chinese woman gives dog driving lessons

Chinese state media says a Chinese woman's attempt to teach her dog how to drive proved a costly error, as her car crashed into an oncoming vehicle.

Xinhua news agency reports no one - including the dog - was injured, but both vehicles were slightly damaged.

Xinhua says the accident happened recently in the city of Hohhot, capital of north China's Inner Mongolia region.

The woman, surnamed Li, had noticed how fond the dog was of crouching on the wheel, and thought it should have a go at steering the car.

She herself operated the accelerator and the brake.

Well that just proves that we need to introduce psychological evaluation for those that are about to get their drivers liscence.

Victim chases thief, gives him money

S OUTH SALT LAKE, Utah - A 75-year-old woman ran after a man who stole her purse, got it back and gave him a tongue-lashing — and $3.

Betty Horton said the man apologized to her and said he was broke.

"I said, 'Why didn't you just ask me for some change? I would have helped you. I would have gladly given it to you,'" Horton said.

Horton was putting groceries in her car Wednesday when she noticed her purse was missing. She saw a man running with the bag under his arm.

"Good thing I had my running shoes on," Horton said.

She ran past businesses and saw him in a residential area standing over the unzipped purse, she said. She threatened to shoot his ear off, although she didn't have a gun.

Horton said she put money in his hand and told him, "Now get the heck out of here." Police arrived, but the thief — whom authorities described as a 40-year-old man — was gone.

"Seventy-five years old and I can still take care of myself," Horton said.
