Ryan Braun: Reason 379 Not To Propose At A Ball Game
In weird news, a Milwaukee Brewers made a serious mistake when proposing to slugger Ryan Braun.
A fan of the Brewers named Robin held up a sign for outfielder Ryan Braun asking for his hand in marriage. Unfortunately, the former Rookie Of The Year* was not the only one to see the homemade poster complete with her actual mobile phone number. Things did not work out.
Baseball Players Swapped Wives, Lives
The 1973 Yankees were involved with a strange family swap. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck want in.
Back in the spring of 1973, some things got really weird with Major League baseball. Yankees Mike Kekich and Fritz Peterson decided that they needed their lives to start going in another direction. And to jumpstart things, instead of running away from their families, they decided to swapped wives, homes and families. Matt Damon and Ben Affleck may be making a movie about it.
Facebook Unfriending Lands Couple In Jail
An unfriending coupled with a status change lead a pair of Floridians to some time with the police.
A woman in Brooksville, Florida unfriended her live-in boyfriend whilst in a pique about something or other. And that very umbrage came back many-fold as the live-in boyfriend confronted his lady about the unfriending and her status change to single (and, implicitly, ready to mingle). Eventually, the fracas came to such a boil that John Law was called to the feuding couple's mutual residence.
A Skype Wedding For A Sick Groom
A webcam saved this large-scale wedding.
A couple in California decided that a little lung infection wasn't going to ruin their weekend wedding plans. As there were upwards of 500 guests attending from as far as away as Korea, they decided not to delay their nuptials. Instead, they went ahead with the ceremony--with the bride in the church and the groom in the hospital--via Skype. Everyone wins!
Japan's Waning Libido Causing Concern
It looks like Japan has a libido problem, and it's not just the menfolk.
Men in the Land of the Rising Sun are losing their libidos. The story goes that 36 percent of boys ages 16 to 19 in Japan have "little to no interest" in sex. Over 80 percent of 20-year-old Japanese dudes are currently not dating anyone. And half of the two decaders have NEVER had a girlfriend (note: some writers were into their 20s before they had their first girlfriends, so let's not judge). Dig this: the young ladies are even more uninterested in sex.
Indian Man Has 39 Wives, Is A Christian
A sect of Christianity promotes polygamy, plus what he thinks about your number.
Within some circles of belief, marrying a handful of ladies is commonplace. We're talking about circles containing people with mildly different sensibilities than those of your run-of-the-mill Judeo-Christian American. One Indian man has 39 wives, a boatload of kids and grandkids, and is doing it all for Jesus.
Don't Make Out At This Hindu Temple
PDA will not be tolerated at the Pashupati temple.
In a spot of weird news, a Kathmandu Hindu temple is outlawing PDA. Evidently, courting young lovers use the temple's grounds of canoodling and the pandits think they should take it more seriously. To whit, anyone found courting will be hit with a fine that amounts to about $7. Take that, young libertines.
Iran To Ban Valentine's Day
The Ayatollah is cracking down on Cupid's February 14th birthday celebration.
Since overthrowing the Shah in 1979, the leaders of Iran have tried to oppose Western influence. This time around, they've decided that Valentine's Day is not appropriate for the Persian people. Some people want to switch it with a holiday called Mehregan but we all know that Hallmark probably won't take this sitting down.
