A British couple is now facing divorce after the man was found to have an 'affair' in 'Second Life'.
Amy Taylor, 28, said she had caught husband David Pollard, 40, having sex with 'another woman' in the online world. Taylor could not accpet his husband's character in the MMORPG having an affair with a virtual prostitute. "I looked at the computer screen and could see his character having sex with a female character. It's cheating as far as I'm concerned." "I went mad -- I was so hurt. I just couldn't believe what he'd done," Taylor told the Western Morning News. "It may have started online, but it existed entirely in the real world and it hurts just as much now it is over." The two met in an internet chatroom in 2003 before falling in love with each other. Both their real-life and Second Life wedding were held in 2005.
Taylor had since hired a private detective to track her husband's activities to find his husband was innocent in reality. "He never did anything in real life, but I had my suspicions about what he was doing in Second Life." Pollard admitted having an affair in the virtual world. "We weren't even having cyber sex or anything like that, we were just chatting and hanging out together," he told the Western Morning News.
On the other hand, Taylor had recently started a new relationship with a man she met in another online game World of Warcraft.
Drogba had caused trouble yet again. The Chelsea superstar is now facing investigations from the police and Football Association for throwing a coin at Burnley fans in Chelsea's embarassing defeat to the Championship side.
Chelsea crashed out of Carling Cup Wednesday night after losing 5-4 on penalties to Burnely. The defeat also marked their second loss in three home games. The striker gestured at the away fans after helping his side to take the lead in the 27th minute. The crowd then reacted with one of the fans throwing a coin and it apparently hit Drogba. The footballer from Ivory Coast then took revenge by hurling it back into the crowd of 6100 Burnley fans.
Didier Drogba had since issued an apology for his foolish actions. "I tried to celebrate the goal and I received some things at me," the striker said. "The big mistake I did was to throw it back so if someone was hurt I just want to apologise for it. This is not something I should show in a football match and I want to apologise. It was an incident in the heat of the moment and I regret it."
The Football Association is now deciding wether to take action after seeing referee Keith Stroud's report.
A woman has been credited by police for her courageous act of luring a stalker to the police and led to the arrest.
The victim, whose name was undisclosed, first met 57-year-old Jeffrey Powell while while jogging in Lakeland's Gator Creek Reserve on November 3rd. Powell stopped her and ask for directions before they bid farewell to each other. Few days later, the woman cycled through the same spot again. There the two met for the second time, as Powell explained that he had been looking for her since their first meeting. He then expressed his love for her and demanded to have sex with her, before grabbing her shoulder as she intended to leave. The terrified woman promised to return to the park again, so that the man could agree to let her go.
The next day, the woman came to the venue again, but this time accompanied by sheriff's deputies. The stalker stepped right into the trap and was arrested shortly after that. Police also discovered a handgun and ropes inside a vehicle belonged to the dangerous man.
Ferarri boss Luca di Montezemolo smashed a TV set at home after he witnessed Lewis Hamilton grabbed the Formula One World Title in the last minute at the Brazillian Grand Prix last week. The McLaren driver needed only to finish fifth in order to clinch for the title. Just when Ferarri's Felipe Massa was poised for victory, Hamilton, out of nowhere, overtook Timo Glock, who was fifth that time, on the final bend to snatch the title off Massa's hand. The frustrated man channeled his anger on the television which he watched Hamilton won. Nevertheless, there was a consolation price for Ferarri as the team was named number one for the constructors' championship.
"I broke the television, I must tell the truth," Montezemolo told a news conference at a Ferrari event in Mugello on Sunday.
"When a television breaks it makes a terrible bang. My daughter in the other room was given an awful fright. Luckily we had another television so I was able to watch the podium ceremony, which I enjoyed." "I reckon that in the history of F1, we have never seen a world championship decided on the last bend of the last lap of the last grand prix," added Montezemolo.
I'm sure most people used to play with sticks during childhood. On Thursday, the plain and lowly but ever popular stick has made it into the National Toys Hall of Fame, along with two other toys which bring back memories, the baby doll and the skateboard.
The three classic items joined Strong National Museum of Play's lineup of 38 other toys. Those include the bicycle, the kite, Mr Potato Head, Crayola crayons, the marbles as well as the Atari 2600 gaming console. The stick was chosen for its all-purpose and no-cost qualities. It can be easily acquired, and can be transformed into various playing materials, ranging from a magic wand to a sword, according to a child's imagination and creativity.
"It's very open-ended, all-natural, the perfect price — there aren't any rules or instructions for its use," said Christopher Bensch, the museum's curator of collections. "It can be a Wild West horse, a medieval knight's sword, a boat on a stream or a slingshot with a rubber band. ... No snowman is complete without a couple of stick arms, and every campfire needs a stick for toasting marshmallows.
"This toy is so fantastic that it's not just for humans anymore. You can find otters, chimps and dogs — especially dogs — playing with it."
A US man is selling off a cave he owns, at eBay. 49-year old Steve Rush is auctioning off his treasure, the Mystic Caverns in the hills of Ozark Mountains, in the famous bidding website. The 28-acre caverns in Arkansas were destinations for tourists for the past few years. It consist of three caves, and a small gift shop beside it.
Rush bought the place in 1988 and started running his business in 1992. Tourists are only allowed to visit the two safe caves, Mystic cavern and the Crystal Dome cavern. The third cave, the Not Much Sink cavern is too dangerous for anyone to be inside. But the numberof visitors have declined greatly since a nearby amusement park was closed in the 1990s. Rush said he wants to sell the caves to become involved in Christian ministries. He also joked that he was bored of being a tour guide. "It's always been a struggle for me, because you have to entertain people. ... I'm really tired of trying to entertain people," he said.
The man had since cut down his bidding price for the treasures from $1.2 million to $899.900, because he knew it's not going to be easy. "It's a tough time in the marketplace to get a buyer I think for any real estate, and I don't think this business makes enough money" to make mortgage payments, Rush said. "However, if you had some money and you were not afraid of risk ..." Vickie Martin, a real estate agent for the caves, agreed. "It's a tough sale. You've got to find the right person," she said. "It takes a lot of time and energy and run it. It's not something you can buy and let it run itself. You've got to take an active interest in it.
At the age when most men aren't even able to lift a pingpong ball, Ken Mink is playing basketball - and professionally.
6-foot and 190-pound Ken Mink, 73, is the oldest player ever to participate in college basketball. He currently plays with Roanne State Community College, where he was listed in the roster as a 'senior' player. Mink loved basketball since he was small, and was playing with his high school until 1956, when he was expelled over a practical joke. But Mink claimed that it was not him.
It was just last year when Mink wrote to several colleges looking to play the sport again and Coach Randy Nesbit of Roane State decided to give him a chance. After that, he had started practising with the team since school began in August. Mink's name went on the Guiness Book of Records on his debut on Nov 3, when Roane State took on King College, and eventually won 93-42. A couple of the points were contributed by Mink from the free-throw line, who went on to the court as a substitue with 16 minutes left in the game. "I found myself on the free-throw line 52 years after my last college game," Mink said. "I said, 'Just relax and shoot it like you know how to all day long.' I just floated the shots in there. I'm in the books now. I can relax a little bit."

Shirley Nagel of Grosse Pointe Farms had made it clear that there would be no treats for children whose parents support Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama. It was reported that Nagel even sticked a signboard in front of her house in suburban Detroit claiming: "No handouts for Obama supporters, liars, tricksters or kids of supporters."

A US couple was arrested after an argue over a missing false teeth. The incident took place at 11:15 p.m. Thursday in a mobile home at 6012 Broadway Ave. Louise Deeringer, who is one of the residents, questioned borfriend Guy Douglas regarding the whereabouts of her false teeth after she found it missing. Dugas, 49, said he didn't know where her teeth were, but Deeringer, 56, didn't believe him, police said.
Douglas became furious as he tossed Deeringer up the air onto the kitchen floor. The woman then fought back by grabbing a kitchen knife and chased Doiglas out of the house, at the same time yelling "You're going to tell me where my teeth are, or I'm going to kill you!" The frightened man hid himself in a bathroom, and Deeringer stabbed it open, right before police officers arrived. The mystery was solved later on as Deeringer recovered her false teeth behind a TV stand, but it was all too late.
Deeringer was charged with felony aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and Dugas with misdemeanor domestic battery before being put behind bars in Orient Road Jail today.
A pub in Australia was accused of serving ice-cream containing feces to one of it's customers. The victims were was a family of five, who were enjoying gelato at the Coogee Bay Hotel, one of the most well-known pub in Sydney, when Steve Whyte and his wife Jessica was disgusted to find shit in their servings. "The stench went through my nostrils, I retched and spat it into the napkin," Jessica Whyte told the Daily Telegraph newspaper, recounting what local media are calling "gelati-gate." Accordingly to the police, it was probably a 'kitchen revenge' incident where the pub employees attempted to make a fool of the furious customers after being complained due to loud music which hindered them from listening to a televised football game. State government food minister Ian Macdonald confirmed on Wednesday that the food consumed by the couple did contain excrement products. On the other hand, the staffs of the Sydney pub who had done their own lab tests, found nothing but clean food in their servings. Consequently, both the chef and the pub manager had volunteered to undrgo a DNA test in order to prove their innocence.
