Model Has a 16-inch Waste

Model Kelly Lee Dekay has shrunk her waste down to a mere 16 inches, just one inch short of a world record.

Dekay uses corsets to shrink her waste, which leaves very little room for her internal organs.

This also makes doing excercise dangerous, but Kelly takes it easy, she says.

She has hiked in her corset, pushing herself to her limits, however.

Sounds like a squeeze.

Foot Fetish Officer Charged

An officer who pulled over a motorcyclist for drug suspision was charged with "official oppression."

The officer informed the woman that he had a foot fetish and said he would let her go if she let him smell her feet.

When she refused, the officer told her that her feet would not be necessary if she let him have her underwear.

The officer walked free with a $2,000 bond.

No news on if the police department will keep the officer.

Fish Stink Leads to Lobster Bust

Due to their environmental impact, spiny saltwater lobsters are illegal in South Africa.

This didn't stop one farmer who's smelly van attracted police to his crime, however.

The tails were confiscated and the farmer was arrested.

Salad Shoplifter Surrenders Fork

A Tennessee man wanted for shoplifting and theft over $1,000 was found in the closet of a stranger eating a bowl of salad.

Police asked the man to drop his fork as it could potentially be used as a weapon.

"At least he was eating healthy," police noted.

Not all convicts are so concerned about their health.

Black Lab Allergic to Humans

An Indianapolis dog's skin condition was found to be associated with an allergy to humans.

After a blood test, veterinarians determined that the dog is allergic to human dandruff, much in the same way that humans can be allergic to dog dander.

Vets suspect that the condition is curable and are treating the dog with allergy serums.

Hopefully life won't be too rough for this pup.

Pot Candy Concerns Denver

Now that marijuana is legal in Colorado, concerns are being raised about the drug being distributed to children through trick-or-treat candy.

Police have released an informational video describing how to tell "pot candy" from regular candy.  They are also advising parents to toss any candy that isn't associated with a major brand.

Police also noted that some recreational sellers will buy cheap candy in bulk and then spray it with hash oil, at which point it is indistinguishable from regular candy.

Halloween's about to be dope.

Coast Guard Rescues Bubble Man

A man was pulled from the ocean by Coast Guard officials after he attempted to float from Florida to Bermuda in a plastic bubble.

The man, an Iranian exile, began suffering from fatigue prior to being rescued.

He had previous accomplished many running feats, including running the perimeter of the United States.

The bubble was made of plastic and aluminum and functioned similarly to a hamster wheel.

Chef James Thomlinson has created a "human flesh burger" in celebration of the upcoming fifth season of "The Walking Dead."

The burgers are not actually human meat, but Thomlinson paid close attention to the reports on cannibals to craft his burger.

The burger is made of a combination of veal, pork, chicken liver, and bone marrow to create the sweet, mature veal taste that cannibals have described.

I mean, who hasn't wondered why zombies crave us so hard?

New-Mexican Singing Road

In New Mexico, a "singing road" has been constructed in an attempt to get drivers to obey the speed limit.

Rumbling strips built into the road create a melodic tune when driven over, but only if driven over at the appropriate speed.

The hope is that drivers will slow down and enjoy the melody while increasing their safety at the same time.

This road could also aid under-slept drivers who begin to fall asleep at the wheel.

I wonder how much this would cost?
