Way, Way OT - news to shake your head at - ThinnerTimes

Hi all;

I figured we all could use a laugh, (and maybe a big EWWW), so I took the liberty of publishing a few "odd" news stories. Enjoy!

But … is It Legal Department

SAN FRANCISCO — A mysterious company has launched a coffee with an extra boost. The company and the product share the same name – Meth Coffee.
Although it may imply the drink contains methamphetamines, the company admits there is no meth in its coffee — just rich Arabica coffee beans, and another stimulant called yerba mate.
Yerba mate comes from South America, used to make teas and coffees there. Sellers claim it raises your energy level, so pairing it with already caffeinated coffee beans prove to be a maga-boost.
East into it. "Don't go throwing back five cups like regular coffee, if this is your first time. Start with a little. Feel the rush, the euphoria, the smooth-edged high. Then go for more, if you want," the company said on its Web site.
The product, which went on sale Wednesday, is available only at the site.
But don't try asking the brains behind Meth Coffee for his secret recipe. His identity is hidden from view at this point and he only goes by the name "The Roaster."
“Meth Coffee's questionable product naming strategy is similar to the tactics of Las Vegas-based Redux Beverages LLC which recently introduced its energy drink, Cocaine. That product, like Meth Coffee, contains no actual illegal substances, but does offer the drinker an energy boost thanks to caffeine and guarana, a South American seed that purports to be an effective stimulant.”

Give me a double! I’m surprised Starbucks didn’t think of this first!

Lord, Lift Me up Department

For those looking to boost their bust size without surgery, Boza Beer may be what your looking for.
Men from across Europe are flocking to Bulgaria to buy the beverage, which has been reported to have breast-boosting properties.
The libation is skyrocketing in popularity as a gift from hopeful men to their wives and girlfriends.
The beer is made from fermented wheat flour and yeast, and it's unknown what the ingredient may be that leads to the buxom aftereffects.
One buyer from Romania bought a case for his wife in the Bulgarian town of Ruse.
"I really hope I see an improvement".

If this does work, looks like a lot of plastic surgeon’s will be doing more nose jobs!

Caught With His Pant’s Down Department

PHILADELPHIA — A sheriff’s deputy arrested a criminal defense lawyer after finding him naked with a 14-year-old girl in a courthouse conference room, on Tuesday.
The attorney 49, has been charged with solicitation, attempted statutory sexual assault and related counts, said Lt. Dan Bagnell of the police department's Special Victims Unit.
A sheriff's deputy making his rounds in the Criminal Justice Center on Monday afternoon looked into a lawyers' conference room discovering the attorney and the girl, Bagnell said.
We understand "He had asked for sex. But there was no physical contact we're aware of" by the time the deputy arrived on the scene, Bagnell said.
Bagnell said the girl was not a client of the attorney, but their exact relationship was not clear.
Arraignment will be held early Tuesday afternoon and bail has not yet been set.

Can we say IDIOT!

But, Is There Zero Trans-Fat Department
(Warning – this can be disturbing)

SANTIAGO, Chile — Chilean artist Marco Evaristti presented to friends his newest creation: meatballs cooked with fat from his own body, extracted by liposuction.
"Ladies and gentleman, bon appetit and may god bless," said Evaristti, a glass in his hand, to his dining companions seated last Thursday night around a table in Santiago’s Animal Gallery.
On the plates in front of them was a serving of agnolotti pasta and in the middle a meatball made with oil Evaristti removed from his body in a liposuction procedure last year.
"The question of whether or not to eat human flesh is more important than the result," he said, explaining the point of his creation.
"You are not a cannibalif you eat art," he added.
Evaristti produced 48 meatballs with his own fat, some of which would be canned and sold for $US4000 dollars for 10.
A veteran at shock-art, in an earlier work Evaristti invited people to kill fish by pressing the button on a blender the fish were held in.
In April 2004 he dyed an enormous iceberg in Greenland with red paint.

Hannibal Lecter would be proud!
