Moscow’s mighty 10-lane Ring Road is famous for rather large volumes of traffic, and this morning was no different, except that this morning, fake money was responsible for the chaos.

To taste a living thing formed by the elements […]

“When it snows in East London” is a bit like saying “When hell freezes over”. That is, it never happens (not what you thought I was saying). But this week, the windy city has experienced unusually low temperatures coupled with unbelievable snowfall. Click through for photos of Vincent Park shopping centre in the aftermath of flooding and snow yesterday.

Just when it appeared that American moral fabric couldn’t get any worse, it did. Donna Simpson already holds the honour of being the Guinness Book Of Records’ fattest woman to ever give birth. Now she’s after the record for the world’s most obese woman. Did we mention she gets her daughter to feed her? Can you say child abuse?

You know how sometimes football players take off their shirts after the game and swop them with other players or fans? That happens at the FIFA Woman’s World Cup too. The only difference is that when it happens there, former pin-up models, like Josefine Öqvist, are the ones stripping down…

While the rest of us have been wondering whether or not people are born gay, India’s Health Minister has know all along: that it is in fact a disease from the West.

You know how this one goes, right? There is a house in Orange Grove. They call it The Radium… The Radium is reputedly the oldest surviving beer hall and grill in Johannesburg, and unlike places like The Brazen Head, it genuinely has that aged feel. The chairs and tables creak ominously under the weight of the patrons and the food. The pavement outside is littered with ash and the odd beggar. The only things they seem to have added in the last 20 years are a stainless steel urinal and the big TVs. It is exactly my type of place to hang out.

Would you trade the ability to produce children in exchange for the cheapest car in the world? In an attempt to curb high birth rates in India, a “competition” has just been launched: any male or female undergoing sterilisation procedures will stand the chance to win a Tata Nano. They are hoping to attract 30 000 entries – problem is there is only one car.

Not many true guitar gods have walked this earth. In the hands of these rare beings, the guitar is more than a six stringed musical instrument; it is a source of immense power, a weapon of mass destruction, a light saber, the most magical of wands, capable of removing a groupy’s panties with a single […]

Bafana, Benson and Moses are a threesome who really love the finer things in life. Particularly, pricy watches.

Police in Chetumal, Mexico, have said they have caught a woman who was trying to smuggle her common-law husband out of a prison in a suitcase, following a conjugal visit. Judging by the photograph that has been released to accompany the incident, the prisoner hadn’t even put his clothes back on after the romp.

Yes, I just tried this. A new study suggests that men whose index fingers are shorter than their ring fingers may have longer penises. It is called “digit ratio” and refers to the length of the index finger divided by the length of the ring finger. The lower the ratio, the study suggests, the longer the penis may be. How’s yours looking?

A fair portion of the smartphone market in this country belongs to BlackBerry, because unlike the rest of the world, we still pay rather exorbitant data fees to the carrier firms that run the market. And free messaging is like, so cool. Not internationally though, where BlackBerry maker, RIM, is in a serious make-or-break space.

Remember judge Nkola Motata? He got a bit wasted a couple of years ago and drove his car off the road into someone’s garden. He was terribly sorry about it at the time – so sorry that his 12 months jail sentence was upheld. But during “the early hours” of this morning he was involved in yet another accident – this time with a minibus taxi.

Vocal genius, Matt Mulholland, has produced yet more hilarity by over-dubbing the famous lobby shoot-out scene in The Matrix, using only his voice. The video is complete with score and loads of “pew pews” for the gun sounds. It’s hilarious and reminds me that there was once a time where not every shoot-out scene in a movie looked like this one.

If you take a little stroll down to your local market, you can pick up anything from a pair of Mikes (fake Nikes) to a pair of Maddibas (fake Adidas) to the best real fake Rolex you’ve ever seen. It’s now only a matter of time before you can pick up a new secretary, wife or girlfriend as well.

2oceansVibe Radio broadcast the Premier Show on Friday from a cosy Italian spot at the V&A Waterfront called Meloncino. Why would we be broadcasting from there, you ask?

The Sree Padmanabhaswamy Temple in India – dedicated to the god Vishnu – was built in 1566. Secret vaults have now been found, containing more than R74 billion in offerings to the temple! All these shiny coins, jewelry, and even a six meter-long gold necklace have been secretly hoarded in underground vaults. This is like the Indian version of Gringotts in Harry Potter!

The Australian women’s football team, the Matildas, have recorded their first win in the FIFA Women’s World Cup 2011 after they defeated Equatorial Guinea 3-2 in their second Group D match in Bochum, Germany, on Sunday.
