The Arizona Daily Sun brings us this tale of would-be bank robbers who tried to stick up a Baskin-Robbins on Friday. First they used a toy gun and the clerk wasn’t remotely fooled.

Is anyone else getting tired of all of the celebrity nicknames that the news insists on giving them? Bennifer. Brangelina. JLo. There are too many to remember. At least they just call Paris Hilton plain old Paris. That we can handle.

As if the success of Botox didn’t prove human beings will do almost anything if everyone else is doing it, we present the example of the fish pedicure. Associated Press reports that a Northern Virginia spa has been offering them for about four months.
