LONDON (UPI) — A poll of British men has found 30 percent would give up sex for life for about $2 million, and 1 percent would give it up for a lifetime supply of alcohol.

The survey was conducted by condom-maker Durex and the women’s magazine, Company, the Mirror reported.

Of the undisclosed number of men polled, 9 percent they would be willing to give up sex if they never had to work again, and 3 percent they had faked enjoyment during sex, the report said.

Ok. Either these men don’t know how to have great sex OR 3 in 10 British women don’t know how to give great sex OR these men are virgins who can’t get any no matter how much they try OR 3 in 10 British men are really old and have lost all interest in sex OR these men are out of their minds.

What do you think?

Vanilla candles, carpet fresheners, air mist sprays and other home fragrance products accounted for $3.4 billion in sales last year. Now researchers are looking at ways to permanently infuse scents into textiles.The scent-infused fabrics could lead to pleasant-smelling blankets and sheets, give holiday linens a festive fragrance and make gym clothes less odoriferous.

“Some of the strongest ideas we have are in athletic clothing…but we’re going to see success in apparel and home textiles, such as towels, too,” said John Pierce, associate professor of psychology at Philadelphia University.

This sounds kinda cool but wouldn’t it be weird if your shirt smelled like vanilla, your pants smelled like cocoa butter and your socks smelled like lavender?

39-year old Liu Ye from Zhuhai city recently married himself.

“There are many reasons for marrying myself, but mainly to express my dissatisfaction with reality,” he said.

I don’t think that’s a good enough reason.

“This marriage makes me whole again. My definition of marriage is different from others.”

A false marriage can make a person whole?

There was an actual ceremony with more than 100 guests who watched as Ye married a life-sized foam cut-out of himself wearing a woman’s bridal gown.

I wonder what the sex is like…

Leeds, Maine – A high school basketball coach has been fired after asking the varsity boys at Leavitt Area High School to place their hands down their pants.

“Tonight’s game [is] about who [has] the biggest (male genitalia) in town,” the overly excited coach had said during a pep talk at halftime, Jan. 23.

According to the Principal, “He then required his players to all stand up and put their hands down their pants and check their manhood.”

They all did except one smart player.

The team  ended up winning the game but I highly doubt touching themselves had anything to do with it.

There was no word on whether the boys washed their hands before returning for the second half.

A family of three where just hanging out in their home in Cambridge, Maine, minding their own business when out of nowhere a 100-pound deer came smashing through their window, Thursday night.

It jumped over a sofa and ran through the house. Matthew Cunningham wrestled with the animal to prevent it from getting near his 4-year old son and was able to lock it in the bathroom.

Once Matthew and his wife, Lori learned wardens wouldn’t be able to help them until the next morning, they asked a neighbor for help.

They then used a piece to plywood to try to direct the deer away from the bathoom and through another window in the home office.

The deer eventually escaped through the window and was nearly struck by a truck.

“It was really scary,” Lori Cunningham said. “We’re so lucky no one got hurt.”

Her son, Zeke confused as to why a deer was in their home in the first place had said, “It’s not Christmas.”

A 73-year old man got his car stuck in snow early Thursday morning in a Kansas City street. A young man approached the vehicle and offered to help.

He was able to push the car free but when the driver paused to thank him, he attempted to pull the old man out of the car and then asked for money.

The driver gave him $30 but when the thief wanted the car, he fought back. The thief managed to stab him and knock him to the ground before speeding away with the car.

Goes to show that strangers can’t be trusted. Even the nice ones.

Cancun residents can’t get enough of Antonio Vasconcelos, AKA “Super Tonio”, a 14.5 lb baby measuring 22 inches in length born early Monday at Jesus Kumate Rodriguez Hospital.

It’s a good thing he was born by Caesarean section. Yikes!

Super Tonio is given 5 ounces of milk every three hours. (The average baby weighs about 7 lbs and only needs 14 – 21 ounces of milk a day).

Wednesday, Narcisco Perez Bravo, the hospital’s director said, “We haven’t found any abnormality in the child, there are some signs of high blood sugar, and a slight blood infection, but that is being controlled so that the child can get on with his normal life in a few more days.”

Normal??

According to the Guinness World Record, the world’s biggest baby was born to a healthy mother in Italy in 1955 weighing in at a hefty 22 pounds, 8 ounces.

Joe Stokes shot and killed two deers while hunting in one of Florida’s wildlife management areas in November.

Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC) senior wildlife technician Tim Farley logged in one of the deers at the area’s check station only to discover that it had all the male and female reproductive organs.

That must have been one confused deer.

Farley had also logged in a hermaphrodite the previous day and upon close inspection, he figured out that both deer were more than three years old and had never been bred.

I can’t say I’m surprised. Even deer have standards.
