Marie Bardi · 02/09/11 09:50AMAlthough she starts off strong, this model simply cannot stop her legs from buckling in a pair of killer heels. We all know the adage "beauty is pain," but maybe shoes this dangerous go a bit too far.

Jeff Neumann · 02/09/11 08:30AMIs Keith Richards' Book Delaying the Rolling Stones' Next Tour?
Jeff Neumann · 02/09/11 07:45AM
Keith Richards may have provided a public service by releasing his autobiography, Life — in which he says Mick Jagger has a "tiny todger." An upcoming Rolling Stones tour is said to be in jeopardy over Richards' remarks about the size of Jagger's dong. Or maybe this is a ploy by a bunch of once-great old timers to sell more $500 concert tickets? We'll have to wait and see.

Being a professional beer-taster probably sounds like a pretty good job, until you are asked to taste samples of 200-year-old beer found in a Baltic Sea shipwreck. The tasters who were asked to do so recently, on behalf of researchers in the Åland Islands (an autonomous region of Finland), said that the beer, found in a shipwreck dating back to the early part of the 19th century, "did taste very old... with some burnt notes," not to mention "quite acidic."

Max Read · 02/09/11 12:34AM
Has anyone seen 700,000 ultrathin Japanese condoms? Malaysian police are looking for them. The condoms, manufactured by the Sagami Rubber Corporation, were loaded onto a container in Malaysia last week, but never arrived in Japan (the container did arrive, empty, with its locks changed). Rest assured, no expense is being spared:
Syria Unbans Facebook, YouTube
Max Read · 02/08/11 11:28PM
The Syrian government apparently unbanned Facebook and YouTube on Tuesday, five years after those and other social networking sites were blocked nationwide. (Not that the ban had stopped anyone—both sites "are popular across the country" and accessed through anonymous proxy servers. You can't stop viral videos, guys!) So far, Syrian attempts at generating protests on the same scale as those in Egypt and Tunisia have failed, and it'll be interesting to see if a more easily-accessible internet will facilitate anti-government activity, or just get everyone hooked on Farmville.
