How to beat those buffet rules!
It's a conundrum that’s long challenged gluttons and hard-up students.But now a scientist claims he has worked out how to truly make the most of a buffet bar – by piling food into a 3ft-high tower.
Unfortunately, while it allows you to eat vast quantities, the results don’t exactly look appetizing.
Shen Hongrui, a Chinese engineer, advises hungry diners to build strong ‘walls’ with cucumber and carrots, creating a tall container on their plate to fill with their favorite foods.
He devised the set of instructions to get around the ‘one bowl, one visit’ rule at the salad bar in his local Pizza Hut in Beijing.

An inspiration!
The most amazing thing about Colin Hagendorf is not that he has eaten a plain slice from all 362 local pizza joints in Manhattan.It’s that even after shoving dozens of mediocre slices down his gullet, he still loves to eat pizza.
“I will always eat pizza. There’s nothing better for lunch or dinner,” says the 28-year-old Brooklyn resident as he devours two slices of cheese and a pepperoni roll at his favorite outer borough pizzeria, Carmine’s Original in Greenpoint.
“I grew up in New York. I eat pizza. That’s what I do.”
Hagendorf, who has been publishing fanzines since he was 14 years old, dedicated the last two and a half years of his life to sampling cheese pizza from every pie shop in Manhattan, reviewing slices and chronicling his journey on his Slice Harvester blog.

Nude flying?!
Hands up (and pants down) if you want to fly on a nudie airline? Americans are clearly ahead of the pack here, with 79 per cent of them saying they'd fly on a nudist airline, were one known to be operational. (Those who think Richard Branson is the obvious man for the job here clearly haven't countenanced the thought of Sir Dick in his birthday suit grinning insanely from Naked Virgin billboards).

Think twice before you steal that car!
A would-be carjacking suspect messed with the wrong guy. Bishop Thornton allegedly jiggled the handles of several locked cars in the 700 block of Franklin Avenue, Davenport, last weekend before he came to an unlocked one belonging to Justin Tincher’s girlfriend. The 2002 Ford Focus was parked in front of Tincher’s house.
When Tincher saw the attempted theft in progress, he bolted out of his house without socks, shoes or a shirt, chased Thornton down Franklin Avenue, tackled the 19-year-old East Moline man and had him pinned until police arrived.
Tincher, 23, is a former mixed martial arts fighter.
“I don’t take kindly to people messing with my house, my girlfriend or my family,” Tincher said last week

A feelgood holiday story!
The young father stood in line at the Kmart layaway counter, wearing dirty clothes and worn-out boots. With him were three small children. He asked to pay something on his bill because he knew he wouldn't be able to afford it all before Christmas. Then a mysterious woman stepped up to the counter.
"She told him, 'No, I'm paying for it,'" recalled Edna Deppe, assistant manager at the store in Indianapolis. "He just stood there and looked at her and then looked at me and asked if it was a joke. I told him it wasn't, and that she was going to pay for him. And he just busted out in tears."
At Kmart stores across the country, Santa seems to be getting some help: Anonymous donors are paying off strangers' layaway accounts, buying the Christmas gifts other families couldn't afford, especially toys and children's clothes set aside by impoverished parents.

Borat as Freddie Mercury?
The Queen biopic starring Sacha Baron Cohen will be called Mercury.The Bruno star had been confirmed to play frontman Freddie Mercury, but the title of the film had been the subject of much debate.
Producer Graham King told Digital Spy: "I can tell you the working title is Mercury. Whether that ends up being the title of the movie we’re not sure yet."
King, currently promoting Martin Scorsese's Hugo, added: "He led such a big life and there’s just so much to tell. Then you've got all this fantastic music. You've got to fit that in. It's not an easy one to put together but I'm pretty confident we'll be shooting that next year."
