Kids Gone Wild
Two three-year-old twin boys caused chaos and mayhem in their western France neighbourhood recently. The twins went missing and were then found in the evening, walking through their hometown, naked and holding a bedside lamp. It was a call to report a suspected burglary that eventually told officers what happened. It seems the boys walked into a nearby home, emptied drawers, drew on walls, bounced on the beds, and ate orange-flavoured vitamins. They took off their clothes after squeezing bottles in the bathroom, and getting covered in toothpaste and shampoo. The reason they took the lamp was because they assumed it would help them find their way home in the dark. Their parents are going to reimburse the homeowners. And something tells us that they’ll be keeping a very close eye on their kids from now on.

Gas Fighter
If flatulence is your foe, a new gizmo might be your saving grace. The Flat-D pad acts as a deodorizer that slips inside your underwear. It traps smells and a package of three reusable pads goes for about $27. Flat-D Innovations also makes chair pads. And at least one person is a fan of the invention. A pre-school teacher who has an intestinal condition that causes bloating and excessive gas sings its praises. Sounds like embarrassing gas might be a thing of the past.

Short-Lived Love
Some marriages are forever and some - it appears – are only for four days. A German couple received a swift divorce due to “gross infidelity” after the wife shacked up with her new partner four days after saying her “I Dos”. Last year, the 19-year-old woman married a 25-year-old army sergeant on December 21. She left him on Christmas Day, for a man she met five days before the wedding. "Normally couples must be separated for a year before a divorce can be granted," said presiding judge Christian Kropp in the town of Sondershausen, eastern Germany on Thursday. "But given the extreme circumstances, we made an exception here." Sounds like that marriage wasn’t meant to last.
