If you want to hear rap or heavy metal don’t tune to Ohio radio station WMKV-FM – most of the deejays are in their 70s and 80s and all they play are 78-RPMs and LPs.

The station in Asprindale, which airs big-band tunes from the 1920s through the ’50s, is the only one in the nation licensed to a retirement community.

One member of the on-air staff, Alice Hornbaker, 77, begins her program by cheekily proclaiming: “I’m your over-the-hill disc jockey!”

Gonzalo Medina had a lot of gall – stone.

The 56-year-old Los Angeles man underwent surgery to remove a gallstone the size of a golf ball – 16 times the size of a normal one – which grew after a stent from an operation 12 years earlier had been left inside his gut.

Parents in South Korea can now have a fond keepsake of the birth of their child – a gold-plated umbilical cord.

And the U&I Impression company says its business is, uh, baby-booming, with 80 to 100 cords being gold-plated a month for about $100 apiece.

What’s next – bronzed placentas?

Here’s one funeral that really paid off for the deceased’s friends.

When relatives gathered to send off Jack Ross, who died at age 80 in Consett, Great Britain, they placed a $100 bet on a horse named Paxton Jack as a tribute.

When services ended, they were stunned to learn Jack had come in at 40-1, winning them $4,000.

They dealt with death – and now they’ll have to deal with taxes!

Cops in Bournemouth, England, have asked church leaders to help them fight crime – by praying.

And with a 17 percent spike in offenses, 15 churches have agreed to hold 40 days of anti-crime prayer services focusing on the problem.

In other words, for the congregation the admonition was, “Let us pray – for more arrests!”
