A London ice cream parlor has introduced an ice cream variety made with human breast milk.

The new ice cream flavor also goes by a hilarious name - "Baby Gaga!" and is served by a Lady Gaga impersonator. The dessert is actually created there at the store, with British mother Victoria Hiley providing the key ingredient on site. Hiley is paid 15 pounds for every 10 ounces of breast milk she donates, and 14 other woman have offered their own dairy varieties to the cause.

This may sound gross, but the mothers all undergo a health screen typical to blood donors, and the product is pasteurized before being churned into ice cream. The company says that breast milk is supposedly tastier than your run-of-the-mill store-bought stuff, but there's only one way to find out...

Justin Bieber reportedly lost over 80,000 followers on Twitter after he cut his hair.

However, we checked the numbers on Twitholic.com, and Bieber actually GAINED 40,000 followers the day after cutting his hair! In fact, he has gained a grand total of 120,000 followers in the four days that have followed the tweet about his new 'do. All this publicity definitely appears to have paid off - his hair has reached a bid of $12,000 on Ebay, with all of the proceeds going to charity. (Wanna buy some hair?

Charlie Chaplin's dead body was dug up and held for ransom for over two months.

Weird story, but it's been fact-checked by Snopes and and it's totally true!

Chaplin died on Christmas Day in 1977 at the ripe old age of 88. This did not mean that he would 'rest in peace' right away, unfortunately. Nine weeks after his burial, a pair of Eastern European men dug up his coffin and hid it in a hole about 10 miles away. The men proceeded to call Chaplin's family with ransom demands as high as $600,000! Chaplin's wife refused to give in to their demands, but continued to bargain with them so the police could trace their call. The caller, a Polish mechanic, was eventually caught at a pay phone and the police recovered Charlie's body soon after. The two criminals were charged with seven and a half years in prison for extortion and "disturbing the peace of the dead."

The world's smallest computer fits on the 'N' of a penny.

Measuring in at just over one cubic millimeter, this miniscule microprocessor was designed as an implantable eye pressure monitor for glaucoma patients. You may think something this size would have to scrimp on the hardware, but modern nanotechnology allows the computer to contain a microprocessor, pressure sensor, battery, memory chip, and a tiny antenna that allows it to transmit data to a reader device placed near the eye.

The system takes 15 minutes to collect pressure data and requires 10 hours of indoor light or an hour and a half of sunlight to recharge its battery. This opens the door for millimeter-sized systems in the future with all sorts of applications. Nanotechnology such as this could be used for constant monitoring of other body parts, the environment, or for making virtually any item 'smart' and thereby traceable!

Karaoke bars in the Philippines have banned Frank Sinatra's "My Way" because it leads to fights and shootings.

Maybe it's all the drinking, or the fact that the karaoke bars are in rough neighborhoods. Maybe people just really like Frank Sinatra in the Philippines and don't take kindly to drunken off-key renditions of his music. For whatever reason, from there have been at least a half dozen killings in the Philippines involving karaoke and "My Way". They've even been dubbed the "My Way Killings".

(Check out this New York Times article for more about the "My Way Killings".)

One such shooting happened while the song was still playing! A security guard San Mateo karaoke bar interrupted one of the bar's patrons while singing the song, complaining that he was off-key. When the singer persisted, he shot him in the chest!

A lot of karaoke bars have responded by taking the song off of the catalogue. Other times, the local patrons themselves just refuse to sing it. But why "My Way"? The owner of a Manila-based singing school offered one theory, "It's so arrogant. The lyrics evoke feelings of pride and arrogance in the singer, as if you're somebody when you're really nobody. It covers up your failures. That's why it leads to fights."
