Woman sells wedding dress on eBay to pay for divorce
A U.K. woman placed her wedding dress for sale on eBay to pay for her divorce from her ex-husband who left her to “foot the bill.”
Samantha Wragg, 28, placed the size 6 Art Deco wedding dress, up for sale on eBay along with a tongue in cheek description detailing her divorce from her “cheating scumbag of a husband.”
“I’m selling this designer Art Deco wedding dress in ivory,” she wrote. “Mainly selling as I need to pay for my divorce which my ex-husband has left me to foot the bill for!”
In addition to accepting inquiries about both the dress and “the skank that my husband ran off with,” Wragg warned potential buyers to dry clean the dress before wearing to “get rid of the stench of betrayal.”

Proposal on Plane — and Then an In-Flight Wedding
She thought they were flying to Athens for a vacation.
But somewhere between Vienna and Greece, a chorus emerged from a couple of rows up and started crooning Bruno Mars’ “Marry You.”
Nathaly Eiche thought it was cute that someone was getting proposed to, but then she turned around and saw her boyfriend, Jurgen Bogner, standing there.
“That’s when I started crying,” she told NBC News Monday. “He got down on one knee and proposed to me.”
And that was just the beginning.
Next came the wedding dress, two rings, a violinist, a master of ceremonies to preside over their mid-flight wedding — not to mention several relatives who’d arrived at the airport early and had remained hidden in the back of the plane.
Among them were Eiche’s father, who gave her a bouquet of flowers and walked her down the aisle.
“The perfect moment every girl waits for their whole life,” Eiche later wrote on Instagram. “He popped the question! And we got married on the same flight! Amazing day! Can’t find the right words for all the feelings right now...just crazy.”

Man eats 40 knives because he likes the ‘taste’
A man with an “urge” to eat metal swallowed 40 knives over a period of two months.
Doctors needed five hours to perform a mammoth operation to remove the knives from the man’s stomach in the northern Indian city of Amritsar, CNN reported.
Surgeons said they found knives of up to seven inches in length, some folded, others not and some rusty.
“He had a wild urge to consume metal. Even for us, the experienced surgeons, it was frightening”, one doctor told CNN.
“We were so nervous... a small mistake could have taken the patient’s life. In my 20 years of practice, I have never seen anything like it”.
Doctors took two days to come up with a surgical plan of action prior to operating.
The patient is now “out of danger” and is set to be discharged in a couple of days. Since the operation he has been referred to a psychiatrist.
The patient told doctors he had no idea why he started eating knives but that he “developed a taste for metal” and “loved the way blades tasted”.

Naked Statues Of Donald trump
Five naked statues of the US presidential candidate caused a stir when they popped up in cities across the US, drawing in large crowds of people.
In New York City’s Union Square Park dozens of people gathered to take pictures, with many laughing as they posed for for selfies with the effigy before park staff were ordered to remove it. Footage shows a crowd of people loudly booing as the figure is ripped from its metal stand.
The New York City Department of Parks and Recreation later issued a playful statement explaining its decision. It said: “NYC Parks stands firmly against any unpermitted erection in city parks, no matter how small.”
When asked about the statue at a news conference, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio struck a similar tone. He said: “That is a frightening thought. When he’s wearing clothes I don’t like him.”
The model, which was also placed in San Francisco, Cleveland, los Angeles and Seattle, is the work of activist group Indecline and las Vegas-based artist Ginger.
