Have you been following the story of the trapped Chilean miners? 33 miners have been trapped in a gold and copper mine in Chile's remote north since a cave-in on August 5th. But it was not until a week ago that they were found alive. It could take up to three months to get them all out. Well, now the story gets juicy! One of the trapped Chilean miners is going to have some explaining to do after his wife ran into his mistress at the mines entrance. Britain's Sun newspaper reports the wife of Yonni Barrios was stunned and upset to find his girlfriend also conducting a vigil for him. I don't think he's digging to get out. I think he's digging down to try to get out the other way.

Hey, I may have a solution for the chickens in La Crosse issue! Keep them INSIDE the house!What you say? What if they poop all over your nice carpets or your grandmother's table cozies? No worries! There's a solution for that too: Chicken Diapers! Ingrid Dimock of Australia invented the diapers and sells them for people who keep their chickens indoors! Brilliant! Man I just love it when I can help the city solve problems!

You a milkshake fan? Though a simple vanilla, chocolate or strawberry milkshake always hits the spot, chefs aren't letting the classics hold them back. Some culinary minds have taken the challenge of creating the most uniquely delicious milkshake possible using ingredients we'd never dream of dropping in a blender. From an avocado shake to a sweet bacon-flavored treat, check out these desserts that have, well, shaken up the competition! 9 Out of the Ordinary Milkshakes. The Cap'n Crunch milkshake sounds good, but I draw the line at the Chicken McNugget shake!

A book profiling the ascent of AC/DC is due next month. Voyageur Press will release 'AC/DC High-Voltage Rock 'N' Roll - The Ultimate Illustrated History' on October 15th. The book traces the highly-successful rockers' trajectory back to its roots on the club circuit in Australia. "AC/DC High-Voltage Rock 'N' Roll" features visuals that range from handbills and posters to backstage passes and performance photography. And some of rock's leading journalists pen the side bars and essays. The book also features an afterword written by Def Leppard's Joe Elliott. I love the cover!
