A GUY DECIDED TO TELL THE TRUTH ABOUT EVERYTHING FOR AN ENTIRE YEAR . . . EVEN WHEN IT WAS TOUGH:

Last February, a 43-year-old guy from Madrid, Spain, named Cathal Morrow decided to find out just how much he relied . . . on LYING. So, in order to do that, Cathal swore to tell the truth about everything . . . even when it was tough . . . for an ENTIRE YEAR.

For example, when Cathal's wife, Patti, would ask him if a certain item of clothing made her look heavy, and he actually thought it did . . . he would tell her. Or if Patti caught him checking out another woman, Cathal would admit that he was trying to figure out how she'd look with no clothes on. (Daily Mirror)

So you know, Cathal's experiment is almost over . . . and his wife hasn't divorced him yet. But they both admit his honesty was tough to deal with.

ELDERLY WOMAN FAILS TO GET LICENSE FOR 771ST TIME, SETS RECORD

A 68-year-old Korean woman has just set an unfortunate, national record. The elderly woman, who is identified by her last name Cha, set a Korean record this week when she failed her driver's test for the 771st time. The wannabe motorist has taken the exam almost every working day since 2005, but continues to struggle with the written portion of the test.

The minimum passing score is 60 out of 100, but Cha only averages between 30 and 50. Police estimate that she has spent more than 35-hundred-dollars trying to obtain her license. One police officer expressed his support for Cha saying, quote, "If she ever passes, I'll make a commemorative tablet and give it to her."
