IN COD WE TRUST

A British businessman received a huge shock recently when the cell phone he'd lost in the ocean incredibly re-surfaced -- in the belly of a cod. A week after Andrew Cheatle's cell fell out of his pocket and into the sea, fisherman Glen Kerley was gutting a 25-pound cod he'd caught and discovered the phone in the fish's stomach. So he removed the SIM card, placed it in his own and dialed Cheatle's girlfriend to let her know what he'd found. A few days later, the two men met and the smelly phone was returned. Cheatle says he left the phone out to dry, and miraculously it still works.

THOSE DOWN UNDER COW FARTS

You think our government spends millions on silly things? Australia has announced a multi-million-dollar initiative to reduce the amount of gas emissions from farm animals. Apparently, cows, sheep and kangaroos fart too much, making up approximately 12-percent of the country's greenhouse gas emissions. The money will be spent on figuring out ways to change the animals' diets and reduce the gas. Of course, a cork would work just as well.

CONDOM THIEF THINKS BIG

A student association in southern Sweden is on the lookout for a thief with a high opinion of himself after finding 50 extra-large condoms missing from its stash last week. According to office staffers, none of the smaller sizes were touched. Projekt Sex spokesman Joakim Grina says, "They went through all the boxes but only emptied the one containing Protex extra large." Ironically, if the rubber robber would've arrived during business hours, the condoms would have been free, anyway.

SMILE, YOU'RE ON RECTAL CAMERA!

Two Wisconsin nurses were fired after posting Facebook photos of a patient with a foreign object lodged in his rectum. Lake Geneva police say one of the nurses copped to snapping the photos when she and a co-worker learned the object in question was a sex device, but she denied sharing them on the Internet. The police say no state laws were violated but have referred the case to the F-B-I.

SOMETHING TO TALK ABOUT: Signs You're Dating a High-Maintenance Chick(Posted 3:00 AM, 3/2/2009)


High-maintenance women are usually hot, but it's not worth it. She'll have you running all over town to find her favorite bottle of wine, will insist on having a huge to-do every birthday and can never find pleasure in the simple things in life.

Here are a few clues that you're dating a high-maintenance chick ...

She wears hats -- no, not baseball caps. Nothing screams diva like a damn hat-wearing girl.
You're always late wherever you go, mostly because she takes 10 hours to get ready. The worst part? She looks exactly the same to you at minute 15 as she does at minute 500.
You try to do something nice, and she totally misses the point and finds the one thing you didn't do right. Surprise her with breakfast in bed and she'll complain you didn't cook the eggs the way she likes. Get her roses and she'll say they're the wrong color.
You constantly have to worry about her at social events. You're always concerned that she's not having a good time -- because she's not. She won't mix with anyone and your friends hate her.
She refuses to drink tap water. Enough said.
She rains on your parade. If you're happy and she finds a way to step on that happiness, you've got a high-maintenance chick. For example, you say, "I got a raise." She says, "I guess you'll never leave that job now."
