Switched at Birth - Man Says He's Lucky to Have Two Mothers
As a child, Fred George never fit in. His Lebanese family was a dark-haired, outgoing bunch, while he was a shy blond. Across town, another boy, Jim Churchman -- the only brunette in his fair Scottish family -- felt the same way. "People teased me ...Manilow Music to Scare Off Mall Teens

(Click the photo to see the 10 Dumbest Laws in America) When the police in Auckland, New Zealand were called to shut down a loud party last Friday, they probably expected that the party-goers would be a bunch of kids.

There has been much discussion here about unusual baby names. From Superman to Metallica, we've covered them all. Today, I bring you yet another one: Talula Does The Hula From Hawaii. Other than her parents, I can't believe anyone would think that a ...

Ribena, a fruit drink company, has been outed by two schoolgirls for lying about the amount of vitamin C in their blackcurrant flavor. Anna Devathasan and Jenny Suo, 2 high school students from New Zealand, tested the drink in 2004 after the company ...
Beuller-wannabes busted at boobs on bikes
