Bow wow WOW!

A German artist plans to open the world’s first brothel for dogs.

For $35, horny hounds will be able to have sex at Karl-Friedrich Lentze’s proposed new canine nightclub in Berlin. It’s not clear what entertainment will be available to their owners.

“Of course, we’ll be happy to receive female and gay dogs, too, it’s a democratic thing,” he told a local newspaper.

A man went to his local video store in Des Moines, Iowa, to rent a horror movie – something really hair-raising. And he sure got more than he bargained for.

While he was down on one knee checking out the white-knuckle chiller “The Ring” on the bottom shelf, he heard a thud and everything collapsed on top of him. Then there was a second thud and he found himself pinned under a car that had crashed into the store.

The customer was treated at a hospital for cuts and released. His name, by the way, was David Lynch – no relation to the bizarro film director of the same name.

The folks in Wollongong, Australia, may soon start wearing berets instead of Akubras and eating frog legs instead of cockatoo cutlets.

Political leaders in the town say they want to “defect” to France to protest their government’s stance on Iraq – and plan to present their proposal to the consul general of France in Sydney next week.

The leaders told local media they’re more comfortable with France’s anti-war efforts than Australia’s strongly pro-American policy.

A bar in Grafton, Wis., is expected to scotch an ad that promises patrons fun from “9 p.m. ’til u pass out.”

The ad caused quite an uproar, with locals saying Matthew Keipe, operator of The Luxury Box, was “asking for trouble.”

Keipe has promised to change the promo, explaining, “I didn’t mean for people to take it literally. It’s just a play on words.”

He really must have liked the prison food.

Ex-convict Richard B. Bruestle pleaded guilty this week to killing the aunt who welcomed him into her St. Paul, Minn., home after he was released from jail last year.

Prosecutors said Bruestle shot and stabbed his aunt repeatedly – because he didn’t like her chili. He now faces 30 years to life of prison chow.
