ORLANDO, Florida - A drunken man in Orlando must have had his beer goggles on too tight when he stumbled out of the Eight Seconds bar on Livingston Street and attacked a five-foot lizard statue. The amorous embrace snapped the statue from its base which in turn sent both the drinker and the lizard crashing to the ground. The city reportedly has 60 of these huge lizard statues on its streets as part of an arts project and are said to cost approximately $3,800 a piece. Sergeant Scott Boos described the man as being "a little drunk" and was perhaps looking for "a little lizard love." No charges have been made against the man, however, city authorities may seek money to repair the statue.

EAST LONDON - Artist Sally Barker is trying to lick gender discrimination by exhibiting jelly sculptures of her friends' breasts. A total of six pairs of breasts, ranging from a size 32A to a 38DD, are to be shown at East London's Institute of Contemporary Art, and come in orange, lime, strawberry, raspberry, lemon and blackcurrant flavors. Barker, 38, has titled the work "Jelly Tits" because she claimed she was bored of using traditional bronze or stone. Gallery boss Matthew Higgs described Barker's display as being "a simple and playful theme which shows how women continue to be objectified for how they look rather than what they do."

Gauhati, India - There is a village in India called Gauhati that had suffered through the worst summer drought in their recorded history. Crops were devastated. Villagers had an idea. They decided to hire a rainmaker to perform a ritual designed to break the devastating grip of the drought. After performing his duty, the skies opened and a downpour ensued. It rained...and rained...and rained some more. For 10 days, straight, rain pounded the area. Floods washed away half of the village. Now this might sound bizarre, but the story takes an even more tragic and bizarre turn from here. On the tenth day of the flood, angry villagers attacked the "Rainmaker" and killed him for causing the disaster. Within hours of the killing the rain suddenly stopped. The final chapter of this story ends with the police. They made no arrests in the murder because they said that villagers were simply protecting their personal property from the ravages of an evil "Rainmaker."
