  • This woman is cursed.

    Scientists say a 42-year-old Californian woman can remember almost every detail of her life.
    The married woman, who they have dubbed Total Recall, says her life is like a "running movie that never stops".
    She can picture where she was, what she did and what made the headlines on any date since 1976, reports The Sun.
    The woman, known as AJ, was tested with random dates from her teens. She recalled big news events like Elvis Presley's death on August 16, 1977.
    But she also knew minor news item dates like a local tax passed in 1978 and a plane crash in 1979.
    Brain expert Professor James McGaugh tested AJ and a man with similar mind power called Brad Williams.
    He calls the condition hyperthymestic syndrome and noted both of them had obsessive qualities which help reinforce memories.
    Bizarrely they both keep TV guides going back years. And AJ kept a diary for 32 years.
    But AJ's memory is not photographic. When asked to close her eyes she failed to remember researchers' clothes.
    Prof McGaugh, of the University of California, said: "Her autobiographical memory, while incredible, is also selective."

  • Well, it needed asking.

    Vicki, pregnant with her first child, was paying a visit to her obstetrician's office. When the exam was over, she shyly began, "My husband wants me to ask you..."
    "I know, I know," the doctor said, placing a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "I get asked that all the time. Sex is fine until late in the pregnancy."
    "No, that's not it at all," Vicki confessed. "He wants to know if I can still mow the lawn."

  • Is this the latest craze to hit Doncaster?

    I've just seen a notice stuck to a shop window which reads 'Sorry, no bikes allowed.'

  • The difference between men and women.

    A man is driving up a steep, narrow mountain road. A woman is driving down the same road. As they pass each other the woman leans out the window and yells: "PIG!!" The man immediately leans out his window and replies "BITCH!!"
    They each continue on their way, and as the man rounds the next corner, he crashes into a pig in the middle of the road.
