Don’t lick ‘em: Sign at Te Puke golf course. (Thanks Rik)
Strange sex: A vicar turned up in agony at a hospital with a potato stuck in his bottom. The clergyman told casualty nurses he fell backwards on to his kitchen table while hanging curtains. He happened to be nude at the time of the mishap.
Local: “They are selling body parts on Trade Me! Look…” squeals a reader. Spelling mistake causes fear for comics safety! Look…” squeals another.
Bank Ads: Barclay’s Bank swipe card, featuring a city wide waterslide and an awesome track — the 1976 single “Let Your Love Flow”, by the Bellamy Brothers. Meanwhile, HSBC’s new ad is a little weirder — it features a confrontation between police and greenies, which turns out to be a love story between one of the protesters and a logger.
Picture this: If Obama were white and McCain were black.
A high school student in Israel, striving for authenticity in a class project, dressed up like a terrorist to check out people’s (and police’s) reactions.
In case you missed it: Audio and transcript of the Sarah Palin prank call, from fake President Sarkozy.
Video: Incredible stunt flying (thanks Mike)…
