Kevin Cotter of Arizona, was crushed when his wife dumped him after 12 years and took all her stuff, leaving behind only her white wedding dress and saying he could do whatever he liked with it. So he started a website called MyExwifesWeddingDress.com, where he's gradually working through 101 things to do with it. So far he's up to 23, including using it as a yoga mat, pasta strainer, Christmas tree skirt, gym towel, dog bed, and ice pack for his knee. It's drawn thousands of hits and suggestions, including using it to plug the Gulf oil leak. He also notes that the dress has held up remarkably well. His ex told him to get therapy to deal with his anger and asked him to take down the site. But Cotter refused, saying he's not angry, he's just having some creative fun.

A nude Chinese man stopped a taxi by running out into the street in front of it. As the perplexed driver got out of the car to see what was going on, the naked man grabbed the vehicle's bumper and tried - without success - to lift it off the ground.

Eyewitnesses reported that he would sometimes shout 'please give me strength!' as he struggled with the taxi. Police eventually arrived, and attempted to detain the man and get him clothed again - at which point the man hid under a police van and refused to come out. He was eventually retrieved from under the vehicle by police officers and medical staff.

And he held up his by dropping the woman's charge to impaired driving.--But the next day she started feeling bad about what she'd done.

Police were startled when they saw a truck driver going down the highway with a cardboard windshield and his
head sticking out the window so he could see to steer. He told them he'd broken his windshield in an accident several days earlier but had no time in his tight schedule to fix it.

He'd driven over 400 miles that way. Police said his face was frozen and purple. They ordered him to fix the problem before going back on the road.

Get a FLYING CAR. Thanks to a company called Terrafugia, you can buy the Transition which is the world's first flying car for just $194,000. It's actually a flying car.  Or as the people at Terrafugia like to call it a "roadable aircraft".  It's a small, two-seater airplane but its wings fold up so you can drive it as a car.  It has a top speed of 115 miles per hour and it's capable of flying nearly 500 miles on a single tank of regular unleaded gas. In order to fly the Transition, you need to have your sport aviation license.  A sport aviation license is basically just like a regular pilot license only you don't need nearly as much training or flying hours to get it. Terrafugia has already received deposits on more than 40 Transitions and they expect the first road-ready and air-ready crafts to be completed by next year.


David Mackie a 35-year-old salesman from Oklahoma apparently has good sense of humor. Unfortunately, the people at Capital One do not. David had the idea of personalizing his Capital One credit card with a picture of Nick Nolte'S immortal, 2002 DUI mug shot. So he went online and submitted a design featuring the picture and the image was APPROVED.
The card was printed and sent to him but just a few days later, somebody at Capital One caught the error.

It turns out that celebrity images are among the things Capital One won't let you have on your credit card. So they called Mackie and asked him to return the card. He complied but at least he got 50 bucks in credit from Capital One for his troubles.
