Nordisk Cryobank CEO Peter Bower is sure not short of creativity when it comes to his business. The Danish sperm bank has it's own custom made, environmentally friendly transport bike which is shaped like a....yes, you got it, sperm cell! "We’re always looking for new donors so it’s a fine bonus that the Sperm Cell Bike gets peoples attention" admitted Peter. Not a bad idea!

Oklahoma city resident 23 year old Kristina Michelle Brown was charged with assault and battery with a deadly weapon on her 72 year old neighbor, Elmer Morrison. He claimed the woman threatened him with a knife, and the reason for it is as bizarre as can get, and quite sick to be honest. When conversing with the police she said that the man revealed that she had sex with her cat! "Because everyone knows. I had sex with my cat and everyone knows" was her statement. But when she was confronted a little later she took back her claim and instead said that her neighbor "does not know about what she did with the cat, she is just mad at him and wants him to die." Talk about crazy. Seems like she might have been on drugs, or may be had a mental disorder. Anyhow, I hope the cat is okay.

Kanye West assaulted a photographer known as Dano at the Los Angeles International Airport this Friday. He allegedly tried to take away his camera, and is now at risk of being sued for attempted robbery. The photographer was said to be injured, but the extent is unknown. Coincidentally this happens to be the same paparazzo that badgered Britney Spears back in 2007 and got his car smashed by her umbrella. Seems like he might be on a quest to make some quick buck by getting on celebrities last nerve.

Mental disorders affect thousands of people around the world, and bipolar is one of the worst. People with bipolar disorder tend to have extreme mood swings, going from very intense, energetic or manic to lethargic and depressed. They are also prone to drug/alcohol abuse and other risky behaviors. Here are some famous people who allegedly had/have this unfortunate disorder.

A little 5 week old kitten was cruelly set on fire in New Jersey. He was found by some good Samaritans and brought to the Pennsylvania SPCA. The kitten was named Justin and is currently undergoing some intense care and lots of love. It's truly atrocious to see people committing stuff like this, but the little guy is doing well and his story is an inspiration.

Chandro Tomar is a 78 year old Indian grandmother, who is believed to be the world's oldest pro sharpshooter. This incredible woman raised six children and fifteen grandchildren, while participating in and winning 25 national championships across India. "As soon as I shot my first pistol I was hooked. And now I’ve shown everyone there’s no disadvantages to my age. If you’re focused you can do anything", said Chandro. She often attends a local firing range where she's never short of spectators. The club’s coach, Farooq Pathan, who set up the shooting club in 1998 with a couple of friends, said: "She was so good some of the men stopped turning up altogether to avoid being humiliated by her, a old woman. She has the ultimate skill, a steady hand and a sharp eye." This super granny is still competing and winning gold at the Veteran Shooting Championship held in Chennai. You go girl!

Over 300 stingrays are found dead on the Mexican beach in the Gulf coast state of Veracruz. There are speculations that fisherman dumped them there upon realizing they couldn't sell them, and there's also talk about them being washed out by the waves at sunset. The authorities are investigating this stingray mass massacre.

I have nothing against Putin, but it seems like all the pressure of being Russia's president for over a decade has taken a toll on him. He's well known for his publicity stunts, and has done everything from riding a horse, shirtless, to flying with a flock of cranes, to finding ancient Greek pottery in the Black Sea. It seems that he is desperately trying to portray a macho as well as a humble man image of himself. It's understandable that keeping himself in the public eye is important, but quite frankly the scale and frequency of his stunts borders on ridiculous. May be he's overcompensating for his aging ego? Here's what I mean.

Amy Schumer has been making the rounds to basically do the robot over the fact she had a successful first season of her show and tell everyone it’s on Hulu Plus now. And while her show is pretty funny, I’m a little conflicted about her. Whenever I think about Schumer, I think about the jokes she made about Patrice O’Neal’s diabetes during the Charlie Sheen Roast. Of course, that diabetes later killed him. Now, I don’t want to sound like I’m angry at her for making the jokes since it’s a roast and it’s fair game. But the train of thought just reminds me that Patrice O’Neal is gone and it makes me sad. It’s totally random and I can’t quite get over it. Sorry, Amy. Anyway, she was on Leno and they talked shop about crappy comedy gigs in their past. One of the stories involved performing at a hunger strike…for a terrorist organization. Take a look.

Unwashed hair, scraggly beard, acoustic guitar, that glazed look in their eyes that could either mean they’re having a particularly good high or might eat your face off at any second. That description could fit every hitchhiker ever, or Dave Matthews of…what’s his band name? Oh yeah, that’s right: The This “All Along the Watchtower” Cover Is How Long? Band. Over the weekend, they were one in the same, as Matthews hitched a ride to his own show. The musician had gone out for a pre-show ride Saturday when the back tire of his bike popped. “I did not have a cell phone on the bicycle. So I thought, ‘Sh*t,” he recalled that night at his show at Hersheypark Stadium [in Pennsylvania]. “And then a nice lady named Emily rode up in a red car with a bicycle rack on it and gave me a ride on to the gig.” Kraus said she and her boyfriend were running late. But, as she told CNN affiliate WHP, everything happens for a reason. Along the way, they chatted about how the tour was going and his daughter’s summer camp schedules. “We didn’t know how to make conversation with him,” she laughed. Things could have gone so wrong so easily. “Please, Mr. Matthews, you can have whatever you want. My car, my wallet, my The Very Best of Supertramp CD. Anything, as long as you don’t sing ‘When the World Ends.’”

Keeping track video game releases isn't as easy as it once was -- the volume of games released each week is constantly expanding, and they're spread over a mind-boggling array of platforms (consoles, PC, Mac, handhelds and mobile). Well, I'm here to make things a little easier on you. Every week I'll rattle off five games I think you should check out. These articles are not meant to be comprehensive lists of everything coming out that week -- think of them as a nice rounded tasting menu. Each week I'll try to highlight several games from different corners of the gaming landscape (handhelds, consoles, indie, PC, you name it) then finish up with a "Pick of the Week". Hit the jump for the five games you're going to want to check out this week.

From Crazy Heart writer/director Scott Cooper comes Out of the Furnace, starring Christian Bale as a down-on-his luck steel mill worker, a real Springsteen-song type, who gets drawn into vigilantism after Woody Harrelson and some bad boys try to get Bale’s Iraq veteran brother played by Casey Affleck to take a dive in his underground boxing match. Much to their chagrin, Casey Affleck says PTSDEEEEZ NUTS to that idea and they retaliate by killing him, leading to an epic showdown between Bale and the bad boys. Also, Pearl Jam.

While I can’t fully condone the seldom usage of Maeby and George Michael (and Buster) in the first two-thirds of the season it sure does make for a helluva payoff down the stretch as the episodes never seem to hit a lull, tie all sorts of loose ends together, and allow Alia Shawkat and Michael Cera to shine. Maeby Fünke’s “Señoritis” is a whirlwind of awesome, and chocked full of buried items and GIF-able moments that make this probably the longest and most in-depth “Beyond the Binge” installment of all. Let’s jump right in… The actor who plays Perfecto (Eli Vargas) also played “Mexican Teenager” in the S2 episode “¡Amigos!”. I see no way they aren’t the same person in the AD universe.

I don’t remember exactly where I heard it, but I remember Louis C.K. talking about his FX show, Louie, and saying that it’s not a show he does for the money. In fact, most of his income derived from taking his stand-up act around the country. After seeing how much he make, I believe him. I think he probably made more last year than two or even three times the entire budget of his television show. It is apparently a very lucrative career at the top, although I have to admit that I have never heard of a couple of these guys. I am, however, quite distressed to learn that Jeff Dunham makes more than Louis C.K. Not all of the millions the 11 men below (and they are all men) derive exclusively from stand-up performances, but according to Forbes methodology, the majority of it does. Here are the 11 highest-paid stand-up comedians.

Ohio and Florida get all the credit, but let’s not forget about the dead jellyfish mecca known as New Jersey when it comes to stories involving crazy, trashy people. Today’s installment involves former-Keyport, NJ, resident Julia Merfeld, who was caught on tape hiring an undercover Michigan police officer to be her hitman (for $50,000), proving that although you can take the girl out of New Jersey, you can’t take the New Jersey out of the girl. “If you can get him outside, that would be great,” a giggly Julia Merfeld said after agreeing to the $50,000 hit — only to later learn she was speaking with an undercover Michigan state police detective. “But if you absolutely can’t, I’ll understand,” she added. “Because it would be messy in the house.” “Terrible as it sounds, it was easier than divorcing him,” [Merfeld] explained about her lethal choice…“It’s going to break my heart when it happens, but it’s something that I’ve been thinking about for awhile.” Merfeld pleaded guilty to solicitation for murder and faces a minimum of six years in prison, where she’ll never be able to watch Timothy Olyphant in Hitman again.
