An avid driver has clocked a whopping 2 million miles in his beloved 1966 Volvo.

Irv Gordon, 61, a retired Philadelphia schoolteacher, bought the sporty, cherry-red Volvo P1800 for just $4,200 when he was 25.

Since then, Gordon has clocked a staggering 55,000 miles a year for the past 36 years.

Gordon – who’s changed the car’s oil approximately 660 times – said that the car has never broken down and has never failed to start.

A British man who spent 12 years looking for the father he barely knew found him after a chance encounter in an Internet chat room.

Wesley Harrison only knew his father’s name, that he worked as a chef, was Jewish and lived in Canada.

Harrison’s parents split up when he was 3. He had not seen his dad since the divorce.

The 24-year-old was about to give up looking for dad Marc Estrin when he came across a Canadian man in a chat room.

Both recognized a Calgary street address when it came up in conversation and decided to exchange phone numbers. The number belonged to Estrin’s brother, and, within a few days, he was talking to his 51-year-old father.

Don’t expect to see any itsy-bitsy, teeny-weeny Malaysian bikinis this summer.

The Islamic government in the eastern region of Terengganu voted to ban women from wearing the revealing bathing suit and from sharing swimming pools with men.

Wan Hassan Mohamad Ramli, the state’s tourism minister, said hotels and resorts have been directed to build separate pools. He said the dress code bans women from wearing bikinis and ordered them to dress “in accordance with local cultural norms.”

Six people were burned at a college hangout in Iowa after bartenders set the place on fire with rum – a stunt they learned while on vacation in Acapulco.

The bartenders at Et Cetera sent a stream of rum down the bar top and ignited it – hoping to dazzle patrons with the stunt.

But the flames raced up the arm of a young woman sitting near the counter, setting her hands and face on fire. The Iowa City blaze then spread to another woman’s arm and a man’s shirt.
