How to beat those buffet rules!

2012-01-09T10:10:00.002-05:00

It's a conundrum that’s long challenged gluttons and hard-up students.

But now a scientist claims he has worked out how to truly make the most of a buffet bar – by piling food into a 3ft-high tower.

Unfortunately, while it allows you to eat vast quantities, the results don’t exactly look appetizing.

Shen Hongrui, a Chinese engineer, advises hungry diners to build strong ‘walls’ with cucumber and carrots, creating a tall container on their plate to fill with their favorite foods.

He devised the set of instructions to get around the ‘one bowl, one visit’ rule at the salad bar in his local Pizza Hut in Beijing.

The most amazing thing about Colin Hagendorf is not that he has eaten a plain slice from all 362 local pizza joints in Manhattan.

It’s that even after shoving dozens of mediocre slices down his gullet, he still loves to eat pizza.

“I will always eat pizza. There’s nothing better for lunch or dinner,” says the 28-year-old Brooklyn resident as he devours two slices of cheese and a pepperoni roll at his favorite outer borough pizzeria, Carmine’s Original in Greenpoint.

“I grew up in New York. I eat pizza. That’s what I do.”

Hagendorf, who has been publishing fanzines since he was 14 years old, dedicated the last two and a half years of his life to sampling cheese pizza from every pie shop in Manhattan, reviewing slices and chronicling his journey on his Slice Harvester blog.

Nude flying?!

2011-12-21T07:47:00.001-05:00

Hands up (and pants down) if you want to fly on a nudie airline?

Americans are clearly ahead of the pack here, with 79 per cent of them saying they'd fly on a nudist airline, were one known to be operational. (Those who think Richard Branson is the obvious man for the job here clearly haven't countenanced the thought of Sir Dick in his birthday suit grinning insanely from Naked Virgin billboards).

In an entirely unscientific survey conducted by Trip Advisor, nearly four in five of the 22,091 respondents said they were willing to get their gear off when high in the sky, if it meant that other people on the flight would also be under-dressed

Think twice before you steal that car!

2011-12-19T11:01:00.004-05:00

A would-be carjacking suspect messed with the wrong guy.

Bishop Thornton allegedly jiggled the handles of several locked cars in the 700 block of Franklin Avenue, Davenport, last weekend before he came to an unlocked one belonging to Justin Tincher’s girlfriend. The 2002 Ford Focus was parked in front of Tincher’s house.

When Tincher saw the attempted theft in progress, he bolted out of his house without socks, shoes or a shirt, chased Thornton down Franklin Avenue, tackled the 19-year-old East Moline man and had him pinned until police arrived.

Tincher, 23, is a former mixed martial arts fighter.

“I don’t take kindly to people messing with my house, my girlfriend or my family,” Tincher said last week

The young father stood in line at the Kmart layaway counter, wearing dirty clothes and worn-out boots. With him were three small children.

He asked to pay something on his bill because he knew he wouldn't be able to afford it all before Christmas. Then a mysterious woman stepped up to the counter.

"She told him, 'No, I'm paying for it,'" recalled Edna Deppe, assistant manager at the store in Indianapolis. "He just stood there and looked at her and then looked at me and asked if it was a joke. I told him it wasn't, and that she was going to pay for him. And he just busted out in tears."

At Kmart stores across the country, Santa seems to be getting some help: Anonymous donors are paying off strangers' layaway accounts, buying the Christmas gifts other families couldn't afford, especially toys and children's clothes set aside by impoverished parents.

The Queen biopic starring Sacha Baron Cohen will be called Mercury.

The Bruno star had been confirmed to play frontman Freddie Mercury, but the title of the film had been the subject of much debate.

Producer Graham King told Digital Spy: "I can tell you the working title is Mercury. Whether that ends up being the title of the movie we’re not sure yet."

King, currently promoting Martin Scorsese's Hugo, added: "He led such a big life and there’s just so much to tell. Then you've got all this fantastic music. You've got to fit that in. It's not an easy one to put together but I'm pretty confident we'll be shooting that next year."

Jason Good, 40, was busted yesterday on a misdemeanor charge of filming/videotaping an undressed person, according to a Henrico County Division of police statement.

Cops had been contacted earlier Sunday by Good’s wife, who “was looking through her husband’s cell phone when she located a video of an adult female using the restroom.” After “further investigation,” police reported, “the reporting person was able to identify the female...it was her 57 year old mother.”

Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band are set to go on the road in 2012.

Springsteen announced plans to tour the United States and Europe on his official website Sunday. Dates were to be announced later.

He also wrote the band is “incredibly excited” about the new year, adding their new music is “almost done” and “still untitled,” but with an undetermined release date.

This will be the first tour for the E Street Band since saxophonist Clarence Clemons died in June from complications of a stroke.

Springsteen’s last tour was the “Working on a Dream” tour, which ended in 2009.

Drive-in hookers? A real "quickie"!

2011-11-21T06:39:00.003-05:00

The Swiss People’s Party (SVP) has gathered enough signatures to call a cantonal referendum in Zurich on the planned development of a new red-light district in Alstetten, on the outskirts of the city.

By gathering hundreds more than the 2,000 signatures needed to call a vote, the SVP hopes to block what it sees as the injudicious use of public funds.

The so-called “performance stalls”, set to be kitted out with parking spaces and alarm buttons, would be the first of their kind in Switzerland if the project is accepted by Zurich voters. The facility would also include an on-site counseling service for prostitutes.

Arguing against the drive-in stalls, SVP Alstetten councillor Ruth Anhorn said prostitution is a private matter that should not be supported with public money.

John Travolta can't even get a table at KFC!

2011-10-24T08:08:00.005-04:00

John Travolta was denied a table at a KFC according to UK reports.

A report in Britain's Metro newspaper claimed one of the actor’s staff called the outlet in East Grinstead in advance, in the hope of reserving a special table for Travolta.

"To me, customers are customers, no matter who they are. The lady who called didn't give me her name, she just said it will be for a Mr Travolta," said the employee, who did not want to be named.

"I thought it might be a load of nonsense. In hindsight, of course, we would have reserved a table for him," he said. "It's not every day you get a Hollywood star eating in your restaurant."

A Coconut Creek man accused of posing as a doctor and offering free door-to-door breast exams has reached a deal with prosecutors, lawyers told a Broward judge on Tuesday.

Phillip Winikoff, 81, was accused in April 2006 of carrying on the ruse with women at an apartment complex in the 3200 block of Northwest 40 Street in Lauderdale Lakes. Investigators said two women took Winikoff up on the offer, allowed him into their apartments and realized something was amiss only after the exams started.

Winikoff was charged with three counts of sexual battery, two counts of practicing medicine without a license, two counts of simple battery, and one count of using the title of doctor without a license.

If tried and convicted, he could have been sentenced to more than 45 years in prison for the sexual battery charges and another 10 years for practicing medicine without a license.

Sheen smiled and laughed as roasters jabbed at his famous family, his notorious taste for drugs and prostitutes and his primetime firing.

"How much (cocaine) can Charlie Sheen do?" cracked one comic. "Enough to kill two and a half men."

Abercrombie & Fitch says in a news release posted Tuesday that it's concerned that having Sorrentino seen in its clothing could cause "significant damage" to the company's image.

Abercrombie says a connection to The Situation goes against the "aspirational nature" of its brand and may be "distressing" to customers. The Ohio-based retailer says it has offered a "substantial payment" to Sorrentino and producers of the MTV cable television show so he'll wear something else.

CBS has ordered a script from Sony Pictures Television for a remake of the classic laffer "Bewitched."

Douglas Wick and Lucy Fisher, the married couple behind the 2005 film version, are onboard to exec produce through their Red Wagon shingle. Marc Lawrence ("Did You Hear About the Morgans?"), who will write the script, is also an exec producer.

"Bewitched" had an eight-season run on ABC starting in 1964.

It's no surprise that CBS would gravitate to a project with a pre-sold brand like "Bewitched," having scored one of the few hits of the 2010-11 season with "Hawaii Five-0," another TV reboot. Sony also is behind another remake getting buzz heading into the coming season, "Charlie's Angels," on ABC.

The fingerprints, visible in the video footage posted below, show stubby fingerprints and smudges on the truck’s windows.

2011-07-20T09:48:00.001-04:00

An Amish teenager allegedly led police on a short chase in his buggy Monday after deputies observed him drinking beer in the vehicle in western New York.

According to authorities, Lewis D. Hostetler, 17, was seen driving his buggy with a can of beer in his hand about 1:00am local time while sheriff's deputies were patrolling on Route 62 in Conewango, N.Y., 59 miles (95km) south of Buffalo, The Buffalo News reported.
