A 32-year-old British woman could not fool customs agents in Norway when she came through wearing a bulging wig. They became suspicious of the big wig and turns out she was concealing 2.2 pounds of cocaine under there! The woman had glued the cocaine to her head.

She was detained under suspicion of smuggling cocaine. The agents thought she had a lot of hair and suspected it was a wig. The cocaine was glued so strongly to the woman’s real hair that she had to be taken to the local hospital to have it removed. She is now being held until a formal indictment and trial.

Now Amy Winehouse’s nasty beehive all makes sense.

Getting phone calls from the dead is a phenomena as old as the phone itself. But in a modern twist, a British man, whose dead wife was buried with her beloved cell phone in hand, claims his family has been receiving strange SMS messages they believe to be from her:

“Just after Sadie died I came home and I felt like I didn’t want to go in the house. I got a missed call on my mobile, but it didn’t ring. The call was from my own home number, but there was nobody in the house. Then when I went inside there was a smell like cigarettes which Sadie used to smoke and the smell of her perfume.” Jones says his family has since received strange SMS messages which they believe to be from Sadie. He concluded: “She always had a mobile with her. We buried her with her phone. There have been messages with words Sadie would say but there’s no number.”

Wonder what the roaming charges are when you’re kicking it in the afterlife. Shit has gots to be ’spensive!

British paper The Independent has finally said what a lot of people are thinking, that America is facing it’s biggest financial crisis since the Great Depression. I guess if you have to choose between the rest of the world hating us, and the rest of the world feeling sorry for us, the latter might be a little better. Just a little though:

We knew things were bad on Wall Street, but on Main Street it may be worse. Startling official statistics show that as a new economic recession stalks the United States, a record number of Americans will shortly be depending on food stamps just to feed themselves and their families.

Dismal projections by the Congressional Budget Office in Washington suggest that in the fiscal year starting in October, 28 million people in the US will be using government food stamps to buy essential groceries, the highest level since the food assistance programme was introduced in the 1960s.

All I have to say about that is: where can I sign up for some of that food stamp action? That shit isn’t even that bad now that they give you debit cards.

Man urinates on dying woman saying “This is YouTube material!”

Shouting, “This is YouTube material!” a 27-year-old British man urinated on a dying woman who had  collapsed on the street. He also doused her with a bucket of water and covered her with shaving cream. The woman, 50-year-old Christine Lakinski, died at the scene of pancreatic failure.
