“Professor, Sheridan Simove, has produced a 200 page book entitled ‘What Every Man Thinks About Apart From Sex’. The work has sold out online on Amazon following heavy promotion in student unions across Britain. The $6.54 item, which was intended as a novelty gift, is being used by students as a notebook. Nottingham university student Jess Lloyd said: “I bought a copy for my mate as a joke and he started using it as a note pad for lectures. Now everyone seems to have one. It’s started a real craze on campus.” “Author, Sheridan Simove said: “This book is the result of 39 years of painstaking research and practical study into the subject. I left nothing to chance and really threw myself into my work. “After many years of hard work I finally realised that men think of absolutely nothing apart from sex. It was a shocking conclusion and I realised that the world needed to be informed of my findings. “I never thought for one moment that my life’s work would be embraced by Britain’s students in their thousands. It is very gratifying to see my book outselling many other academic works whose authors claim to have worked even harder than I to break new ground and further the extent of human knowledge.” w/ photo

“A California man remains behind bars four days after driving 35 miles on a freeway with his wife clinging to a windshield wiper blade on the hood of their minivan, police said. Christopher Michael Carroll, 36, was being held without bail at the San Joaquin County Jail on charges of attempted murder, kidnapping and domestic assault, according to sheriff’s department records. Carroll got into the family’s minivan around 12:30 a.m. Saturday after he and his wife had an argument at their Manteca home, local police said. “She kind of goes with the van to try to stop him, gets up on the hood and is hanging on to the wiper blade,” said police spokesman Rex Osborn. “She obviously didn’t think he would keep driving.” Carroll sped through Manteca, got on a freeway and didn’t pull over until he reached Pleasanton, about 35 miles away, Osborn said. Two witnesses called 911 from the road to report it, Osborn said. One of the callers followed Carroll all the way to Pleasanton and told police his speed reached 100 miles per hour. Eventually, Carroll slowed down the vehicle and his wife “was able to roll off,” Osborn said. The driver following the vehicle transported the woman to a nearby hospital, where she was treated for hypothermia.” w/ photo
