Lads on the pull. Want to test a new computer game that gives you points based on drinking beer and one nighters?  7:37:30 PM    What? ()

Thousands log on to 'injured cat recovering' site. A website charting the recovery of a pet cat injured in a road accident is attracting thousands of hits. I'm blogging this in honor of Dvorak. [Ananova: Quirkies]  7:35:15 PM    What? ()

Judge orders divorcing couple to be handcuffed together. A US judge has ordered an estranged couple to be handcuffed together and jailed during a divorce hearing. That's one way to settle it!  [Ananova: Quirkies]  7:32:43 PM    What? ()

Woman, 40, discovers how to spell her name. A school learning assistant has just realised she's been spelling her name wrong all of her life. Uh-huh.
