40 orgasms-a-day help trap benefit fraudster

A woman diagnosed with a condition that causes her to experience up to 40 orgasms a day has been found guilty of housing benefit fraud. Suspicions were aroused when media coverage revealed that the man she claimed was her lodger was in fact her lover.

After Ruth Byron featured in women's magazines and television chat shows discussing her condition which causes her endless multiple orgasms, the Department of Work and Pensions took a keen interest.

In addition to detailing her persistent sexual arousal syndrome, the 50-year-old also mentioned having a 22-year-old lodger.

After benefit fraud investigators monitored the coverage of "Britain's Most Orgasmic Woman" they realised Simon Leach, who Byron claimed was her lodger, was in fact her lover - who she has since married. They also found that she had been overpaid £6,097 in housing and income benefits after lying to the department.

Church guard arrested for sex with corpse

A man working at a church northwest of Stockholm has been remanded in custody for a very, very unsavoury deed.

The man, who is in his 40s and who was working at the church as a security guard, was arrested by police on suspicion of opening a coffin and having sex with a female corpse.

"I am shocked," said a priest in the parish, according to Expressen.

A week ago, police detained the man after they found an open coffin awaiting burial in the church's crypt. Near the unlocked coffin police found empty beer cans.

"The lock was off and the body was lying in a position it should not be in," said an unnamed police officer to Expressen. "We suspect that the guard has assaulted the dead woman."

The man is being held for breaking burial laws and could face to up to two years in jail.

$1.5 million dollar bed

A young Dutch architect has created a floating bed which hovers above the ground through magnetic force and comes with a price tag of 1.2 million euros ($1.54 million).

Janjaap Ruijssenaars took inspiration for the bed -- a sleek black platform, which took six years to develop and can double as a dining table or a plinth -- from the mysterious monolith in Stanley Kubrick's 1968 cult film "2001: A Space Odyssey."

"No matter where you live all architecture is dictated by gravity. I wondered whether you could make an object, a building or a piece of furniture where this is not the case -- where another power actually dictates the image," Ruijssenaars said.

Chinese bar offers beer, assaults

A new bar in eastern China is offering customers an unusual outlet for anger - by allowing them to use the staff as punching bags, state media said today.

In addition to getting a drink, customers at the "Rising Sun Anger Release Bar" in Nanjing city are able to pay money to beat up staff, smash glasses, shout and scream, the China Daily said.

If that doesn't work, customers can also receive psychological counselling, the paper said.

The bar employs 20 well-built men in their 20s and 30s who have agreed to be hit. Customers can specify how they want the men to appear - they can even be dressed up as women, the newspaper said.

The bar charges 50 to 300 yuan ($A8.30 to $A49) for customers to release their anger, depending on their demands.

The bar was set up in April by Wu Gong, a 29-year-old man who got his inspiration from similar bars in Japan, according to the paper.

The bar has won some fans.

"Pressure in today's society comes from just about anywhere ... we get no place to vent our anger. The idea of beating someone decorated as your boss seems attractive," local salesman Chen Liang said.
