“As the saying goes, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned. And this weekend, football fans were all privy to that exact emotion when a woman shamed her ex on national television. A woman, named as Annie Walker, caught the attention of television cameras at Sunday night’s Packers-Bears football game by holding up a sign calling out her cheating ex boyfriend. The spurned woman, dressed in Packers gear, stood out because her homemade sign had nothing to do with football. Her sign had a much clearer message: ‘My cheating EX boyfriend is watching from couch instead.” w/ photos + video

“A 15-inch-long flatfish has been discovered in an aquarium after remaining undetected for 15 years. The bottom-dwelling sand sole – dubbed Nemo – was only discovered when its 40,000-litre open native rockpool tank was routinely cleaned at the Blue Planet Aquarium in Cheshire. But despite being quite a large fish, staff think the fish may have been a stowaway when the tank was delivered in 1996 as they had no records of the flatfish having arrived at the aquarium. Acting curator Colin Grist said: ‘We’ve called him Nemo, because we’ve found him, just like in the film – except we didn’t know we were looking. ‘Although we haven’t been aware of its existence it seems to have been doing extremely well.” w/ photo

“A pen has been removed from a woman’s stomach after 25 years – and much to the surprise of doctors it still worked. The plastic felt-tip eluded X-rays and led to health problems for the 76-year-old patient, who claimed she fell and swallowed it when she was checking her tonsils. The woman began to suffer from severe weight loss and diarrhoea, so was rushed to hospital. Initially both the doctors at the Royal Devon & Exeter Hospital Foundation Trust and the woman’s husband refused to believe her tale at first, until they saw the pen after a CT scan.” w/ photos

“The Transportation Security Administration says officers found two throwing daggers hidden in a hollowed-out book at a checkpoint at Reagan-Washington National Airport. A TSA spokesman says a passenger was stopped when officers found the knives in the person’s carry-on bag. The daggers measured just over a half-foot long and were hidden in the hard-cover book. The passenger was flying to Chicago and surrendered the knives and book. The TSA has the authority to fine passengers who bring deadly weapons into the airport checkpoint. It was not known if this was done in this case.” w/ photo

“When you’re digging the garden, you might expect to come across the odd weed and some rubble – but not Homer Simpson. That’s what happened when Rosalind and Donald McIntyre, 50, decided to clear their back yard inCupar, Fife. But this version of the doughnut-munching superstar is made of stone, about 800 years older – and makes the real Homer almost look handsome. Yesterday, experts at the National Committee for Carved Stones of Scotland admitted they were ‘completely baffled’ by the find. Rosalind, 46, believes it could be a gargoyle from a former church built in the 13th century. She added: “We have had a lot of people saying it looks like Homer – it is the shape of his head.” w/ photo

“The yoga teacher in the front of the room lay on the floor, her hands resting on her upper thighs. She lifted her right leg high in the air, foot flexed. Then she grabbed her right foot in her right hand and brought her leg toward her face as she raised her upper body a few inches off the ground. Students in class smiled in amazement as they watched the teacher’s knee graze her nose. It wasn’t just the pose that was amazing — it was the teacher’s age. Bernice Bates is 91 years old, and she’s more flexible than people who are a third of her age. “If you can’t quite meet your knee, that’s all right,” Bates told her class, gently. Guinness World Records recently awarded Bates the title of ‘Oldest Yoga Teacher.’ While there might be other, older yogis somewhere in the world, Bates completed the lengthy documentation process required by Guinness.” w/ photo

“Residents of a Derbyshire village were left baffled when mysterious yellow blobs began springing up in grassland. The slime-like substance was spotted in fields and in gardens near The Settlement in Ockbrook. Alan Newman, from Erewash Borough Council, who was called to deal with the issue, said it was eventually found to be the slime mould Fuligo Septica. He said the mould, which resembles scrambled egg, could move very slowly along the ground.” w/ photo

“A man who grew a large cannabis plant to look like a Christmas tree will spend the festive season in prison after police found his home-based drug factory. Ian Richards, 46, made the cannabis plant resemble a festive tree by growing it to 5ft tall and decorating it with brightly-coloured baubles. Police found it along with a small number of other cannabis plants when they raided his home in Aylesham, Kent, last December. Investigating officer PC Darren Dennett said: “By using a 5ft tall cannabis plant as a Christmas tree, Richards showed a total disregard for the law.” A judge at Canterbury Crown Court sentenced Richards to 18 months behind bars for drugs.” w/ photo

“The dessert, made from frozen balls of butter and given a Scottish twist with Irn Bru batter, is already popular in the US. Described as a “heart attack on a plate”, the chefs at The Fiddler’s Elbow in Edinburgh serve the sticky treat with Irn Bru ice cream and coulis. For those wanting an even more potent version of the dish, called Braveheart Butter Bombs, a variation with whisky batter is also available… It is believed to be the first time deep fried butter has been on the menu in Scotland. It first emerged as a snack at the Iowa State Fair in the US earlier this year.” w/ photo

“The Howrah Bridge in the Indian city of Kolkata is at risk of collapsing because the steel at its base is being corroded by human saliva. Pedestrians who have been chewing betel leaf, areca nut and slaked lime have been spitting on the bridge’s steel hangers, causing them to weaken. The red stains left by the paan mixture – a mild stimulant chewed throughout India – are caked around the metal casings of the bridge. Authorities say the paan-laced spit has reduced the thickness of the bridge’s hangers from six millimeters to three millimeters. In an attempt to save the bridge, port engineers have come up with the idea of covering the steel with fiberglass.” w/ photo
