Weird World: Did it hurt when you fell from heaven?

8:31 PM Wed, Aug 29, 2007 |

Are you a total doofus who keeps striking out with chicks? Maybe it has to do with your approach.

Or maybe you are just a total doofus.

Either way, a team of psychologists in Scotland say even the worst pickup lines serve an evolutionary purpose, Courant.com reports.

You look like a man who needs diamond-encrusted drawers

Having trouble finding a gift for that fantastically wealthy doofus in your life who has absolutely everything?

An Austrian designer might be able to help you.

Christian Wohlmuther is currently taking orders for personalized luxury lederhosen -- presumably for the fashion-challenged with a penchant for short shorts and a complete lack of shame, the Associated Press reports.

Weird World: Kid charged with assault for throwing sausage

As a police officer, there's probably nothing more satisfying than seeing a bad dude get banished from the mean streets.

And then there's that less-than-satisfying feeling of sending a kid to court over a one-sided food fight.

Are you completely bereft of talent but still itching to be some kind of a champion?

Finland may just be the country for you.

Weird World: Practice does not necessarily make perfect

They say practice makes perfect.

But in Barbara Joyner's case, the only thing she perfected was the art of self-incrimination ... and perhaps her penmanship.

You see, Joyner, 59, is facing robbery charges after allegedly holding up a Bank of America in Callahan, Fla., Jacksonville.com reports.

She said she was innocent, and she might have gotten away with it too ... if it weren't for the notepad full of rough-draft robbery missives in her purse.

D'oh!

Weird World: Panda poop souvenirs for sale in China

When you have a bunch of crud in your house that you don't need, you sell it, right?

Same goes for a Chinese Wildlife Research Center.

They're planning to profit from piles of panda poo, selling the scat as souvenirs.

You know, because who needs another plastic knick knack when they can have a photo frame made of doodie.
