A girl on the Berlin underground starts giggling at something on her smartphone. The laughter spreads. It’s clearly some class of a flashmob thing, but no less funny for that.

The video has gone viral in the last week, notching up over 1.7m hits. Check out the determinedly po-faced girl in the orange jacket who, as one commenter puts it ‘ needs to get the stick removed from her ass’

Miami taxidermist Enrique Gomez De Molina is apparently facing charges, potential jail time and up to $250,000 in fines because he lacked the proper permits to import the rare animal parts used to create these quasi-mythical stuffed hybrid abominations.

The interview above was filmed in happier, but no less crazy times last December.

A MALAYSIAN student who reportedly had a civil partnership with an Irishman has been caught up in a political storm of controversy in his home country.
Ariff Alfian Rosli (28) has been resident in Ireland since moving here eight years ago to study medicine at a university in Dublin.
After an apparent disagreement with his son in 2009, Mr Rosli’s father reported him missing to Malaysian authorities.
In recent days, pictures emerged on the internet which appeared to be of Mr Rosli in traditional Malaysian dress with his civil partner in Ireland at an event at Dublin City Hall.
The pictures were published on the front pages of some local newspapers and have been the source of criticism from numerous political groups in Malaysia, where same-sex sexual relationships are illegal and punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

Jackie Lavin, Eugene Heary (winner of the Apprentice 2011), Bill Cullen and Brian Purcell at the Apprentice You’re Hired Party in The Grafton Lounge last night.

 

The identity of the latest member of The Bill Cullen Empire has been revealed, albeit a bit sooner than TV3 bosses would have liked.
Cullen pointed the finger approvingly at Eugene Heary in Monday night’s The Apprentice finale on TV3, awarding the Kildare native a €200,000 business package for a new auction company, Auction House.
But for some viewers the suspense was taken out of the final night of the show after Heary’s auctionhouse.ie website announced his success long before Cullen pointed the finger for the last time in this year’s show.
Displaying an admirable skill for both breaking up nouns and adding erroneous capital letters, not to mention an exemplary attention to detail, the site declared: “Auction House is the Brain Child (sic) of Eugene Heary and after 12 long weeks fighting for Bill Cullen’s investment on the apprentice (sic) we are glad to launch our new business together. Auction house (sic) is really different because we are mobile and we take our unique system to you!
