THE internet is full of useful information, much of it unverified but eyebrow-raising.
And latest addition to this genre is a table of the average penis size by country.The data, which says it is a mix of stated and undefined sources, has some ego-shattering information for Australian men if it is to be believed. Australia comes in 94th on the list, with a "measured" average penis size of 13.2cm.
The information is attributed to "Australia 's national agency for health and welfare".
Number one on the list is the Congo , with an average "self-reported" penis size of 18cm.
Rounding out the top five are Ecuador at 17.5cm (measured), Ghana at 17.3 cm (self-reported), Colombia at 17cm (measured) and Venezuela at 17cm (measured).
Name- Fat Ho Burgers owner defends controversial name
Lakita Evans is the mastermind behind the burger joint and its unconventional name, and said she had no intention of causing offence.'It's not calling people a ho. It's just like they say, "Oooh that ho is big," or, "That ho is tight!"' she told Fox News.Other local business owners don't see it that way and the 23-year-old entrepreneur has come under criticism from the nearby Gospel Cafe, an eatery and bookshop run by religious volunteers.Pastor Marsha Martie said: 'Would've been nice to think a little more sensitively.
However, Ms Evans has defended the Fat Ho Cafe, which counts Sloppy Ho Brisket and Supa Dupa Fly Ho with Chz among its specials.'Look what's going on in Japan. It's like clear this world is not gonna get any better. Why cry and be depressed? The economy is bad. Somebody gotta keep a sense of humour around here,' she said.
Surprise-Naked man falls through woman's ceiling
A Mississippi woman got a shock Tuesday when a naked man came tumbling through her ceiling and asked her for clothes.The woman, Keleigh Townsend, denied his request, so he then grabbed a coat off a hook and ran out the front door.Police say the man was a wanted fugitive hiding out in the apartment complex, according to a report from the Hattiesburg American.
When police got word of his location and began to search the apartment complex, he allegedly hoisted himself into the crawl space above his apartment and tried to crawl between the units.What he didn't count on, police said, was being too heavy for the flimsy drywall that formed the ceiling of Townsend's apartment, and he came tumbling down in his birthday suit.As he fled the apartment, Townsend called police who were already waiting in the parking lot, police said.Patrick Williams was wanted for failing to report to his probation officer following his release from prison where he served time for drug offences.
New-Sheep 'gives birth to dog' on Chinese farm
Liu says he came across the lamb-dog in one of his fields shortly after it was born. And by 'born', he means his sheep was licking the creature and therefore it was sporting that moist, 'fresh from the womb' look. 'I was herding the sheep, and saw a sheep licking her newborn lamb on the grassland. The lamb was still wet,' he said.'When I went up close to check on the lamb I was shocked because it looked so weird, like a cross between a sheep and a dog.'I was a bit frightened, as I've been raising sheep for 20 years and had never seen such a creature.'Though it has wool like a lamb's, the creature's mouth, nose, eyes, paws and tail are most definitely dog-like. Liu says the creature even plays like a puppy.

Wow-Council declares children a public hazard
An Australian town has declared war on sidewalk chalk. At first, the town's council called it a violation of municipal graffiti laws, but then declared the children who use the chalk are safety hazards. In what some residents are calling a bureaucracy gone mad, children in Whitehorse , Australia , are being told to put down the sidewalk chalk. "The children burst into tears when we told them," one cafe owner told the Daily Herald newspaper. "A council inspector visited us and said there had been a complaint and we had to stop." The council says sidewalk chalk is a violation of the state graffiti laws.
The other option, according to local officials, would be to issue a permit that would allow the students to play with sidewalk chalk. But that's apparently out of the question, too. "The mayor told us they would like to issue us a permit but can't because it raises health and safety issues, in case somebody fell over a child on the footpath or into the street," the cafe owner said. Anger in the town is now mounting and more than 200 people have signed a petition to let the children play with sidewalk chalk.
