• Ever heard of a mommy’s boy? Or watched the Matthew McConaughey film titled “Failure to Launch”? Then this news might sound familiar. Italian men are known for staying in their family homes until they are married or quite a bit older, but it appears that this September a certain household had had enough of their 41 year old son mooching off of them. So they threatened him with a lawsuit if he didn’t leave the house by a certain deadline. Hopefully that big boy moved out.
• Imagine holding on to guilt for seventeen years? Well, some thieves who stole a caravan full of a couple’s belongings in North Ireland 17 years ago finally came clean by anonymously returning to the grateful couple their wedding album. The caravan? They kept it.
• Are you ladies looking for a well-adjusted man with a mature personality, who is confident and responsible? According to studies, Swedish men who donate their sperm fit this bill. Sweden doesn’t pay sperm donors as it’s purely voluntary and children conceived because of their donation can contact them if they so choose.
• Guys, when you’re trying to get a girl, do you get her gifts, go to expensive restaurants, and go out of your way to do so? In a recent news article it states that some male nursery spiders will “pay” and give worthless gifts to “get some”. Parts of flower, cotton or ant husks wrapped in silk are used to distract the lady spiders while the males have their way. If these gifts don’t work … they act dead. Bet that’s not a “pick up line” you’ll be using.
• Back to those Italians; we’ve heard they are romantic, but this romantic story takes the cake. A 38 year old man jumped into an empty ambulance and drove all the way to his girlfriend’s house, switched on the siren and started singing romantic songs to her. Her neighbours, called the police who arrested him. When asked why he did it, he replied “I don’t play any instruments and I wanted to serenade my love”. Sweet, but maybe not the best idea.
