An Australian mayor’s plea for lovelorn “beauty-disadvantaged” women to move to a remote town to reverse the area’s shortage of eligible females has won him the country’s top annual award for outrageous sexist comments.

John Malony, the mayor of mining town Mount Isa in Queensland, angered women with the suggestion that “”with five blokes to every girl, may I suggest that beauty-disadvantaged women should proceed to Mount Isa”.

Women’s groups in Australia responded to his comments with heavy criticism. Molony then made matters worse by saying “the protestors are blaming me for their looks”. It was this sexist response that secured Molony his Golden Ernie award.

Now in their 16th year, the Ernie Awards ceremony is annual event that shames outrageously sexist comments and actions by men and women in the fields of Australian sport, politics, industry and media. Winners are decided by the volume of boos when the comments are presented at the women only event!

For almost 40 years, a truly unique animal caused curiosity and gave pleasure to thousands of visitors to Barcelona zoo. Snowflake was the world’s only albino gorilla, he is thought to have been born in 1964 and he was captured by villagers in Equatorial Guinea as a baby. Instead of the thick brown fur typical of young gorillas, his coat was pure white.

Through a series of fortunate circumstances, Snowflake ended up as a resident of Barcelona zoo where he was given his name. He became internationally famous and was adored by people all over the world.

On November 24 2003, after a two-year battle with skin cancer, Snowflake sadly passed away, but he is still famous now for being a animal record breaker and hitting the headlines.

Anyone who has worked behind a bar will know how pesky stouts can be if you’re trying to dole out pints in a timely manner. The Trufill from Scotsman is rumored to be able to pour beer from the bottom up at lightning speed, 10 pints in 10 seconds, without producing too much foam.

This one has been floating around the beer/gear blogosphere for the last few days, but we can’t find anywhere official to purchase the device in order to run our own tests to confirm its claims. All the blogs say it’s a concept, and there are some cool photos and videos of it in action, but we’re anxiously awaiting a little bit of info about the science behind it.

The Trufill would be great for large sports venues, where the speed at which the beer arrives is more important than the quality of the pour. But still, unless there’s some sort of suspended gravity going on, how do you pour beer from the bottom up? Could this possibly be the breakthrough we’ve all dreamed of whilst we have stood behind crowds of people waiting to be served at a bar?!

Recent research has indicated that cyber sex can lead to depression, but one Internet Lothario’s online cheating has led to a real-life divorce.

Forty-year-old David Pollard and 28-year-old Amy Taylor, married both in real life and in the online game “Second Life,” have split after Taylor caught Pollard’s avatar cozying up to an attractive female avatar on a virtual couch. “I caught him cuddling a woman on a sofa in the game — it looked real affectionate,” she said.

The U.K. couple’s passion for living through their “Second Life” alteregos “Dave Barmy” and “Laura Skye” had led to temptation before. In 2007, Pollard was caught red-handed having sex with a pixelated prostitute in the game, leading Taylor to hire a private investigator to look into his virtual infidelities.

“I looked at his computer screen, and I could see his character having sex with a female character. It’s cheating as far as I’m concerned,” she said. Since Taylor filed for divorce, Pollard has become engaged to the woman whose amorous avatar he cheated with.

Most people wouldn’t look twice never mind see the hidden value in the rusty, old and dented heap of metal that was recently put on ebay for auction, including the owner! The car was listed as having the original interior, but the car had no motor and no transmission, and was at first listed for $500.

But soon it was discovered that the 1963 Pontiac LeMans Tempest Super Duty Cope was one of the fastest drag cars of its era and was one of only six that were ever made, the value spiked to over $100,000 in seven minutes. At the final count, eBay seller “123ecklin” will take home $226,521 before auction fees.

The seller, who inherited the Tempest, was surprised by the car’s provenance, and was taken aback by an offer of $160,000 to end the auction early, which he rejected in order to avoid getting negative feedback on the site. The final offer was made by a buyer with the tag “ccsi2000.” Comedian Jay Leno is rumored to have been among those taking part in the bidding.

With the sorry state of Pontiac and its parent General Motors, perhaps they should consider using their proposed bailout to make more rusted-out jalopies for sale on eBay.

The majority of us have, at some point, been dared to eat hot foods that have resulted in burned taste buds, fateful post-digestion trips to the bathroom and eventually, extreme anguish and generally feeling rather ill.

A British forklift driver and aspiring chef met a fate much worse when he recently died after eating a large portion of chili sauce. Andrew Lee, 33, had just passed a workplace medical exam when he challenged his friend to a chili-eating contest.

To prepare for the contest and get some practice in, he ate a plate of pasta laden with chili sauce created from extra-hot peppers specially grown by his father. Afterwards he complained of itchy skin to his girlfriend and then went to bed to try to sleep the discomfort off, the next morning he could not be awoken, having apparently succumbed to a cardiac arrest.

Lee’s sister believes that the chili was the hottest her brother had ever made, but was still in shock. “Who would have thought he could have died from eating chili sauce?” she said. “We don’t know of anything else that could have caused his death.” What are you views on this, do you really think Lee died from eating too many extra-hot chilli peppers, or do you think there were other factors that contributed to his death?

Fried Egg - A pizza with a fried egg on top, how can something so simple be so disgusting? The fried-egg-pizza combination is initially repulsive but then when you think about it it then becomes intriguing (”Could I dip the crust in the yolk…?”)

Happy Meal Pizza - Possibly the most calorific pizza ever to be consumed, this is a lesson in learning when to pull back from the brink of insanity. In short, this is a selection of McDonald’s famous fat-kid snacks placed on a pizza base and covered in loads of cheese. That’s it. Would you consider eating it?

Pickle, Port and Grape - This grape-and-pickle pizza is made with port wine and gorgonzola cheese. But despite the undoubted weirdness of those toppings, does anyone else think this actually looks pretty amazing? In any case, dousing your pizza in alcohol is always a worthy experiment.

Chocolate - Putting marshmallows and dark chocolate on a pizza might bring back pleasant memories of making pretty little fairy cakes when you were younger, but that won’t last when you’re throwing up in a bucket.

Japanese ‘Mega Pizza’ - This Pizza Hut monstrosity, exclusive to Japan, brings America to Asia. The crust is made of hot dogs wrapped in bacon and rolls of molten cheese. The center is built with hamburgers, cheese rolls, sausage, bacon, ham, bacon bits, mushroom, onion, pepper, garlic and tomato sauce. The pie also comes with two toppings, ketchup and maple syrup…

Shetland: The views in the region of Shetland are something that truly matches the expression- out of the world. A small island it may be, but is home to unprecedented beauties of nature –the adorning rocks, the sizzling sand dunes, the yielding farms, the amazing cliffs, and the beaches flowered with pebbles.

Edinburgh Castle: The history pages of Scotland are a must visit! And what better way to start than the Edinburgh castle located in the capital of Scotland, Edinburgh (it’s the most famous and significant castle of Scotland). Residing high above the city since the 11th century, the castle houses the Scottish crown jewels, the stone of destiny and the Mons Meg.

The Islands of Orkney: Seventy odd islands clustered together! That truly makes for some exotic locations. These islands have a history of their own that can be felt on the shores of the luscious seas. Uniqueness ushers with the waves that drench the sands out here.

The Highlands: The postcard pictures in your baggage or laptop has its real counterpart out here in the highlands of Scotland. Welcome to the ‘real Scotland’- awesome sceneries, high end mountains kissing clouds, gushing loch, an unexplored haven of raw and equally wild places!

Aberdeen: The city bestowed with the title-‘the Granite City’, is where one falls short of adjectives while describing the place. The Grampian Mountains surround the cities all up to the sky and the city is home to magnificent granite buildings, which may not be found in any other part of the world.

Eilean Donan Castle: Ruins always speak of a bygone legacy and a time of splendor. Eilean Donan Castle is just the kind of place for archetypal aficionados. A photographer’s favorite destination, it’s also where romance reaches unseen heights.

The Kingdom of Fife: This place maybe small in size, but it has all that required to take one’s breath away. It is a perfect confluence of the ‘town’ and the growing industries of Scotland. Fife is bordered by a distinct coastline with some beautiful rock formations. The Forth road and the rail bridges are the eye candy of tourists visiting this kingdom.

Glasgow: Crowned as the ‘favorite city of UK’, 2006, the city is a class apart. The taste of world class art and culture, the pride of the majestic architecture and the designs is something that can be truly felt visiting this city. The ecstatic Clyde valley and the country side wonders are just hard to resist.

Perthshire: It places itself in the heart of Scotland and is a heartthrob indeed! Adventure sports, pleasant waters, surmounting mountains, serene forests it has it all in store. Perthshire is an abundant treasure for botanists, ornithologists and true nature lovers. It’s also home to the world’s highest hedge and Europe’s oldest tree!

Dumfries and Galloway: The best way to cut the heat of the modern day life would be to catch up with these places. Remnants of historic castles, a soothing ambience, heavenly landscapes and a sundry of lively activities is what you can expect here. The Tibetan Buddhist monastery, located here may just kindle the spiritual side of you
