Plastic surgery, once limited mostly to the middle-aged, is now in great demand among people over 65, The Associated Press reports. The number of cosmetic surgeries for U.S. senior citizens jumped from 121,000 in 1997 to 425,000 last year. A Boston plastic surgeon says many of his patients are over 70 -- including an 82-year-old woman who just had her breasts enlarged.

Last week, a woman in Hamburg, Germany, told police she saw a bare-chested man with two big white dots on his forehead staring through her window, Reuters reports. Officers think it was a bird escaped from a zoo, but are taking no chances. "We're looking for a naked man with big eyes or an emu," officials said.

(how can you confuse those two things?)
