Alright, I have in mind at least three but I'm posting this one cause it gave me the lulz but also made me feel sorry for the addicted to Facebook guy:

Cops: Man tries to steal laptop to check Facebook

– Sheriff's officers said a 19-year-old man snatched a Starbucks customers laptop after being told he could not use it to check his Facebook account. According to officers, the man then grabbed the customer's laptop and ran out of the coffee shop, located in an outlet mall.

Two people in the parking lot tackled the man and held him there until a mall security guard arrived.

The victim got his laptop back and the man was charged Saturday with robbery by sudden snatching, a felony.

That's hilarious. The funniest thing that's been in the news that i can remember off the top of my head was when a guy glued himself to a toilet seat and then tried to sue the home depot.

Randy octopus embarks on date with death

The escape artist octopus released from a New Zealand aquarium last week has been warned that he faces a date with death as he embarks on a "hard and fast" sex spree off the coast of Dunedin.

'Sid' was released from the Dunedin aquarium after trying to escape a number of times, most recently after hiding out in a drain for five days before being busted making a dash for the door.

Spokesman Peter Bell says that after eight months of being held at the aquarium, the six-foot mollusc will be keen to find a girlfriend - or several.

"He was one of the octopus that escaped every moment he got, we had to tie the doors shut to keep him in. He could fit through a gap about two inches wide, so we don't expect to see him back," he said.

"We expect him to be enjoying life immensely swimming around the harbour and meeting up for a few liaisons with some female octopus out there.

"It's really nice to think that potentially in the future we'll have Sid's octopus offspring coming back."

Mr Bell says Sid will most likely prefer to spread his seed, rather than be a one-woman man.

"I know that they can mate more than once, it's likely the males will take as many opportunities they can get," he said.

"They're fly by night customers, they're not into the monogamous relationship. If they hang around they tend to try and eat each other.

But he says Sid's "hard and fast" lifestyle will unfortunately come to and end after mating.

"He'll probably swim around for a number of weeks and have a number or partners in that time and they tend to die following mating, or in the female's case, after they've laid their eggs and they have hatched," he said.

Though India is recognized as a world leader in promoting the health benefits of urine, its dominance will be assured by the end of the year when a cow-urine-based soft drink comes to market. Om Prakash, chief of the Cow Protection Department of the RSS organization (India's largest Hindu nationalist group), trying to reassure a Times of London reporter in February, promised, "It won't smell like urine and will be tasty, too," noting that medicinal herbs would be added and toxins removed. In addition to improved health, he said, India needs a domestic (and especially Hindu) beverage to compete with the foreign influence of Coca-Cola and Pepsi. [The Times, 2-11-09]
