Most people have to shell out to give their homes a makeover – not so for these multi-coloured molluscs.
The flashy snails have had their drab shells given a paint job for nothing – and they didn’t even have to move a muscle.
A London artist, known only as Slinkachu, has used the molluscs’ shells for a series of designs dubbed ‘Inner City Snail – a slow-moving street art project’.
One in five teenage users has “Facebook Fatigue” and plans to quit or cut back on Facebook, says a survey of 600 kids. Others plan to gag themselves “with a spoon” or “totally die” if Mom keeps friending.
Nobody can scratch better than Las Vegas resident Joan Ginther, who has just scrapped that little gray fuzz off of her fourth winning lottery ticket. Her fourth win!
The two questions on everybody’s mind are: How do I hit Ginther up for a loan? and How do I work her magic? I don’t have a sure answer for the first, other than to say that, she being female, flattery rarely fails; but I can tell you all about the chances of duplicating her performance.

A replica World Cup trophy made out of cocaine has been seized at Bogotà airport in Colombia.
The airport’s anti-drug chief, Colonel José Piedrahita, said the statue had been found inside a carton destined for Madrid during a routine check of a mail warehouse on Friday; standing 36cm (14in) high, it was painted gold with green stripes on the base.
Piedrahita said a lab test confirmed the cup was made of 11kg (24lb) of powder, which would have been mixed with acetone or petrol to make it into a paste that could be moulded. The cocaine would be worth up to £1m on the street.

Iran’s ministry of culture has released a catalog of government-approved hair styles, in an effort to eliminate the menace of “decadent Western cuts.” According to the Islamic Republic News Agency, forbidden ‘dos include ponytails, mullets and spiky hair. But styles resembling those of Elvis Presley, Simon Cowell, or eighties-era floppy fringes are totally fine. Also, hair gel in moderation is acceptable. With the exception of goatees, facial hair is frowned upon.

(ATTLEBORO) – A 14-year-old Attleboro resident in the Gulf of Mexico was injured Sunday when a 30-pound, 4-foot barracuda, shot out of the water and ripped multiple gashes in her left arm. Koral Wira was on a fishing trip with her parents, Robert and Dina Parker, and a friend in the family boat at a reef about 4 miles off Venice, Fla., where they’ve lived for almost three years, when the fish attacked as she reached for her camera after noticing it swimming around the boat. The victim’s father says it was a lucky shot that killed the fish. The gashes took 51 stitches to close. Robert said the family was trying to catch barracudas and sharks, which have been seen in abundance at the reef in recent weeks. Barracuda are aggressive hunters with razor-sharp teeth.
Alright now this first picture is messed up because, well, it’s where the damn fish bit the girl.
Now this second pic is messed up because that’s the same girl with her dad. You know, the guy that’s grinning, while his daughter slowly bleeds all over the floor.
Photographs from actress Lindsay Lohan’s probation violation hearing—where she was sentenced to 90 days in prison—reveal a, um, secret message from Lindsay. A secret, curse-word message. That she wrote on her fingernail. Click here for more evidence.
Update: WWTDD notes that she may be held in contempt of court because of this little stunt, and could face even more trouble. Ha!
And it sucks.
WWTDD says:
Kim Kardashian was honored (and I use that word in the loosest possible sense) earlier today in New York with a wax sculpture at Madame Tussauds, and you’re gonna find this hard to believe but that’s it on the right.
As you can see it looks nothing like her, and not just because she’s not within arms reach of a black mans penis. It looks more like a description of Kim Kardashian, as told by someone who doesn’t know who she is but has read some stuff about her.
MEXICO CITY, June 28 – Mexican singer Sergio Vega was murdered while on a national tour at the weekend, just hours after denying reports of his death, local media reported.
The 40-year-old singer, known as El Shaka, was driving his red Cadillac to a concert in the northern Mexican state of Sinaloa on Saturday when his car was intercepted by unidentified shooters in a truck, reports said.
His murder came just hours after he told entertainment website La Oreja that online reports of his death were wrong.
“It’s happened to me for years now, someone tells a radio station or a newspaper I’ve been killed, or suffered an accident,” said Vega.
“And then I have to call my dear mum, who has heart trouble, to reassure her.”
Fans posted condolences on Twitter after they learned of the death of the singer, who recently boosted his security following the killing of several Mexican musicians.
Musicians performing narcocorridos, or songs celebrating the lives of drug barons, have become the targets of rival drug gangs in Mexico with Mexican media reporting several such deaths in recent years.
PopCrunch has compiled a list of the stupidest things the rich and famous have ever said, featuring such gems as:
Gwyneth Paltrow: “I am convinced that by eating biological foods it is possible to avoid a tumor.”
Victoria Beckham (on her autobiography): “It’s straight from the horse’s mouth. Not that I’m saying I’m a horse.”
Cindy Crawford: “In the studio, I do try to have a thought in my head, so that it’s not like a blank stare.”
Nicole Richie: “When I pictured heroin, I pictured some crazy crackhead with no shoes under a bridge. You never think that is going to be you. And it never was me. I was never under a bridge, and I always had shoes.”
Joe Biden: “If we do everything right, if we do it with absolute certainty, there’s still a 30% chance we’re going to get it wrong.”
R. Kelly: “All of the sudden, you’re like the Bin Laden of America. Osama Bin Laden is the only one who knows what I’m going through.”
