Quirky news for the mid-week hump

Part of a responsible life is knowing when to sit back and enjoy the moment. As such, I am not going to post any heavy-handed, issues-based story or opinion today. Instead, here is a sample of the weird and wacky that occurs in our world every day of our lives. Enjoy.

MCD's FLUSHES OUT MOUTH SHAPED URINALS
A Dutch McDonald's has been forced to remove a pair of mouth-shaped urinals after a tourist complained.
The branch in the south east of the Netherlands said it was removing the bright red, mouth-shaped urinals after a disgusted US customer complained to McDonald's head office in America.
Manager of the fast-food outlet Giel Pijper said the urinals, named Kisses, were works of art which he was now going to have to sell off.
The mouth-shaped urinals, designed by Utrecht-based firm Bathroom Mania!, have already caused controversy.
Virgin Airways was forced to scrap plans in 2004 to install two of the Kisses at New York's John F Kennedy airport after complaints they looked like women's mouths.
But designer Meike van Schijndel has denied they were ever conceived as anything rude and said they were designed as a fun cartoon mouth and not as a woman's mouth.

Museum of Broken Hearts goes on tour
The world's first museum dedicated to broken hearts has proved so popular that it is launching a world tour.
Museum founders Olinka Vistica and Drazen Grubisic originally opened their museum for just a few weeks in the Croatian capital Zagreb.
But word soon spread and people from across the globe came to visit the International Museum of Broken Hearts and donated new pieces. The pair have received invitations to hold exhibitions around the world, including Paris, Istanbul and Venice and they are also planning a show in London
Grubisic added: "Every single object on display has a full description of the relationship that was behind it and how that person has moved on. That's why we think it could be therapeutic for those with newly broken hearts.

Hooked on handsets
Eight out of 10 adults are so addicted to their mobiles they can't turn them off during sex.
The majority of adults questioned, in the UK-based survey said they could not get through a day without their phone.
Social anthropologist Kate Fox said: "They have restored our sense of community and provided a highly effective antidote to the pressures and alienation of modern life."

Prehistoric metrosexuals
Scientists examining prehistoric bodies found in the peat bogs of Ireland have discovered evidence of male grooming.
One of the bodies, dug up in 2003 at Clonycavan, near Dublin, had mohawk-style hair, held in place with a gel substance, reports The Times. The other, unearthed three months later 25 miles away in Oldcroghan, had carefully manicured fingernails. The findings on the bodies, which are 2,300 years old, suggest that despite living in the Iron Age, ancient man had some modern concerns.
"The message I'm getting is that although they were living in a different time, a different culture, eating different things and living in a different way, people are people - they're the same in their thinking," said Rolly Read, head of conservation at the National Museum of Ireland in Dublin.
The hair gel used by the men was made of plant oil and pine resin imported from southern France or Spain, showing trade between Ireland and southern Europe was already taking place.
