The Home Office said the content of calls and texts would not be read and insisted the move was vital to tackle serious crime and terrorism.

I’m sure next they will install CCTV in all our homes, are we really sure no one is watching right this second?!

Potentially contaminated body parts allegedly stolen in the US may have been implanted into British patients, a government agency says.

Over 1,000 body parts were plundered by gangs in New York and then sold for transplants, it has been claimed

Well this was certainly a horrific read. Now I know why I don’t tend to do Doctor’s! Unless they are time travelling ones that is

And just how do you steal body parts?! Lure some poor unsuspecting fool back to a hotel, drug them, and when they wake up the next morning they are missing an arm?!?! Such a worrying thought!

Holidays for teddy bears are being offered by a German travel agent.

Christopher Boehm and Elke Verheugen promise “The holiday of a teddy’s lifetime with a host of activities to tempt teddy away from the loving arms of his owner for a week or two.”

As well as his own room in a luxury Munich flat teddy organiser Boehm said: “Often, bears or other stuffed toys have gone through a lot and a vacation is a great opportunity for the real man’s best friend to see something different for a change.”

The teddies spend an action packed week sightseeing, playing games and visiting a traditional teddy bears picnic, followed by a visit to a Munich beer house.

Teddy owners can also choose special activities to suit the nature of their faithful friend. Fishing, golfing, painting, and even bungee jumping and paragliding are offered, all with pictures teddy can take home to his loving owner.

Prices range from 68 pounds for locals to 100 pounds for international teddies.

Boehm says business is booming he said: “We host a tour group of up to a dozen teddies around every four weeks. The people love this idea.

Well I guess it gets the teddybear a vacation..

So.. uhm.. would you send your teddy bear on holiday!?! Or has the already mad world, gone even madder?!

Or am I the only sane person left Now there’s a terrifying though!

Astronomers announced Friday that they have discovered a new planet larger than Pluto in orbit around the sun. The finding will likely renew debate over what exactly is a planet and whether Pluto should keep its status.

The unnamed object – the farthest-known object in the solar system – is currently 9 billion miles away from the sun, or about three times Pluto’s current distance from the sun. Astronomers do not know its exact size, but its brightness shows that it is at least as large as Pluto and could be up to 1 1/2 times bigger.

Now we just need to find a planet with other life on it

A tourist whose car broke down feared for his life after another motorist offered him a tow but then pulled him down a motorway at 100mph.

The tourist, 36, from Poland said he was amazed at the friendliness of the German after a man pulled over to offer him help.

“He offered to tow me to the next service station which was just a few miles down the road, and got out a rope from the boot of his car,” the Polish man told police.

But just minutes after setting off, the German began to accelerate and dragged the hapless Pole down the busy A9 motorway in Thuringia, overtaking numerous cars and swapping lanes, at 100 mph.

He only stopped after crashing into a construction site that left both cars badly damaged.

A Romanian traffic cop has been demoted after he fined a driver for “having a face like a moron and being a big monkey”.

Marius Vlasceanu pulled over Gheorghe Tosa as he drove through Craiova in Romania, local daily Jurnalul National reported.

But Tosa failed to see the funny side as Vlasceanu fined him £22 and handed him a ticket explaining the reason for the fine was “having a face like a moron and being a big monkey”.

You can actually be fined for looking like a moron and being a big monkey?!

Other characters are supposidly getting into the health kick too, with Elmo taking up exercise?!? Is big bird going to get out his lycra and take up jogging?! That thought alone scares me!

A man in Germany had a lucky escape and survived after shooting himself in the neck by mistake with a James Bond style pen.

I don’t know about you, but I want one!!!!!!

A Texan family say they have found the image of Jesus in their frying pan.

Juan Pastrano, wife Mary-Lou and son Juan Jnr made the discovery when they went to wash up after a fry-up at their home in Prairie Lea.

Now they are keeping the pan in a sealed plastic bag while they decided what to do with it.

Is there really no end to this madness?!?!?!?!

Apparantly, fossilised dino-poo, who’s technical name is coprolite, brought the area great wealth in the late 19th century, so to celebrate this fact, they have put up a statue! uhm… yay?!

Is it me, or do people just get.. stranger?!

Would you ever name your child after a search engine?!

A Sydney man has pocketed £415 – after auctioning a piece of breakfast cereal resembling ET.

Mr Doyle thought he too could be in the money when he spotted a piece of Nutri-Grain resembling ET.

A piece of Nutri-grain that looks like.. ET?!?!?!?!

And if that wasn’t bad enough, there’s also this..

Joe Pasquale’s face on a slice of toast *sigh*

Scientists in Brazil say they have uncovered a new species of dinosaur.

The dinosaur species that’s being called Unaysaurus tolentinoi in honour of the man who found it – Tolentino Marafiga – is apparantly one of the oldest dinosaurs ever discovered. It also shares similiarity to a few remains found in Europe, adding more fuel on the fire to say that the continents were all joined together in Earth’s great past as the continent dubbed as Pangea.

The newly discovered dinosaur is not large like many of it’s counterparts. Weighing in at around 70KG and standing just 80cm’s high, and having a length of just 2.5 meters, it’s certainly no T-Rex! It’s also believed to be a herbivore that lived during the Triassic period.

Wouldn’t it be cool to be able to travel back in time and actually see these creatures roaming around? No doubt a whole lot safer than creating your own dino like in Jurassic Park at least If and when we master time travel, count me in on a Dino safari!

A judge has warned internet shoppers to be wary after sentencing a woman who sold £3,000 of fake tickets on the popular auction site eBay.

Fake Glastonbury tickets? I’ve also seen scams on ebay where the ad makes you believe you’re buying a mobile phone, but usually hidden in the specifications is the small print that you’re only getting a picture. Then of course you need to be wary of the fake autographs and other highly sought after items.

To be fair to eBay, I haven’t had any problems. I’ve bought CD’s, clothing, hammocks and other things for my pet rat which I couldn’t necessarily get in the UK. And thus far – touch wood – had no complications, so it’s not all dodgy on there. You just need to make sure that you’re careful and check that feedback.

An estimated 100 million locusts have forced tourists and locals to abandon beaches in the Canary Islands.

Isn’t a swarm of locusts supposed to be one of the signals for the end of the world or something?! First Cairo, now the Canary Islands!
