THREE WOMEN SUPER-GLUED A GUY'S SCHMECKEL TO HIS STOMACH AFTER LEARNING HE WAS DATING ALL OF THEM AT THE SAME TIME:

Last week, Tracy Hood-Davis of Fond du Lac, Wisconsin learned that her husband was cheating on her with THREE other women. So to teach him a lesson, Tracy contacted the other ladies . . . 47-year-old Therese Ziemann, 44-year-old Wendy Sewell and 43-year-old Michelle Belliveau . . . and told them what her husband was up to.

On Thursday, Therese tricked the guy into meeting her at a local hotel, where she blindfolded him and tied him up. Then, all three girlfriends ambushed the guy and started asking him which of them he loved most.

And at some point, the ladies cut off the guy's underwear and SUPER-GLUED HIS SCHMECKEL TO HIS STOMACH. Then they stole his cell phone and wallet, and took off in his car.

The man was rushed to the hospital where he was treated for minor injuries and released. All four ladies have been arrested and charged with being a party to false imprisonment. If they're convicted, they could get up to SIX YEARS in prison.

And Therese was also charged with fourth-degree sexual assault and misdemeanor battery. If she's convicted, she could get up to SEVEN YEARS in prison. (Appleton Post-Crescent / ABC News)

INTRODUCING T.W.I.T.s . . . TEENAGE WOMEN IN THEIR THIRTIES:

I just heard of a new term out there, and I have to share it with you. Ready? It's T-W-I-Ts. It refers to women who stay single and keep partying into their 30s, as in "Teenage Women In their Thirties". Get it?

TWITs are basically women who put off having babies and avoid getting into serious relationships, so that they can keep partying like they did when they were teenagers. And once they've spent their 20s single and partying . . . they keep on going.

I know what you're thinking. These are just older woman who can't meet a decent guy, and who can't take the hint that they're too old for the scene. Not so. And they're not "cougars", looking to make up for their baggage by preying on younger guys.

They're hot, confident, well-dressed, intelligent, and career-oriented. And they know it. Which is exactly why they stay single: so they can go out, have fun, and enjoy their freedom . . . instead of getting tied down like the rest of us married slobs. (News.com.au)

A BANK TELLER WAS FIRED FROM HIS JOB FOR *PREVENTING* A BANK ROBBERY:

Here is even more proof that it just doesn't pay to do the right thing . . . On Tuesday, 30-year-old Jim Nicholson was working as a teller at a Key Bank branch in Seattle when an unidentified 29-year-old guy wearing a beanie and sunglasses passed him a backpack and told him to fill it with money.

But instead of doing what the robber said, Jim jumped over the counter and demanded to see the guy's weapon. Then, when the robber took off running, Jim chased him down and held him until the police showed up.

So how did the bank repay Jim for preventing the robbery? Get this . . . THEY FIRED HIM. Why? --Because bank tellers are trained to get burglars out the door as quickly as possible, NOT to be heroes. Since Jim disobeyed the bank's policy, he had to go.

Jim says, quote, "They tell us that we're just supposed to comply, but my instincts kicked in and I did what's best to stop the guy. I thought if I let him go he would rob more banks and cause more problems." -Officials for Key Bank have refused to discuss the situation. (Seattle Times)

THERE'S A NEW BIKINI ON THE MARKET THAT DISSOLVES IN WATER:

Guys . . . if you want to get back at your ex-girlfriend for breaking up with you, there's a new product on the market from a German company called Cult Styles that you might want to check out.

It's called the Get Naked bikini, and it completely DISSOLVES after just three minutes in the water. So what's the point?

The idea is that you'd give your ex the Get Naked bikini as a show of goodwill. But once she wears it to the beach or pool, it'll fall apart and humiliate her in public. (--Fun, no?) (Sun)

(--You can buy the Get Naked bikini for about $15 here . . .)http://www.racheshop.de/product_info.php?products_id=12329

A CHURCH IN TEXAS HELD A VIGIL TO PRAY FOR RAIN . . . AND IT ACTUALLY STARTED RAINING:

This summer has been extremely nasty in certain parts of Texas, with temperatures reaching triple-digits nearly every day and not even a drop of rain. Anyway, members of the Christ Our King Anglican Church in New Braunfels, Texas decided they were sick of the drought, so last Thursday, more than 200 people gathered in the town's square to pray for rain.

Well guess what? As they were praying, it actually started RAINING. (--To be fair, the rain only lasted a few minutes, and the rainfall only added up to a fraction (--0.03) of an inch. But, still, you have to admit that's pretty cool.) (Express-News)
