I’m looking for the street {insert your name here}

A cash-strapped Hungarian village is offering a chance of 300 years mortality to anyone willing to pay to have a street named after them.

The northeastern village of Ivad is hoping world famous celebrities will apply but ehy’re not restriciting the purchase only to the celebrities. Anyone with 100,000 forints ($511) can purchase a meter of street to be named after themselves. In addition, the mayor of Ivad guarantees on its web site that the name will not be altered for 300 years.

You speak and read Hungarian right?

As with anything in life, there is a catch. Hungarian law dictates roads cannot be named after the living. Instead they will have to rely on a contract guaranteeing the name change will take effect after they’re death.

Thinking outside the urinal

New Mexico

In a novelty manner of thinking, New Mexico state transportation department has replaced the traditional toilette paper holders for motion-activated deodorizer holders. When the bois use they’re toys a voice cheerfully says

"Hey big guy, having a few drinks? Then listen up! "Think you had one too many? Then it's time to call a cab or call a sober friend for a ride home."

In the continued effort to reduce drunk driving, the transportation department said the motion-activated devices are an attempt to "think outside the box" in both a humorous but serious way.

Transportation department spokesman SU Mahesh said the devices, which are manufactured by New York-based Healthquest Technologies Inc., have been used elsewhere in the United States, but never as part of a statewide campaign.

If the project is successful he hopes bars and restaurants will continue to purchase the battery-operated gadgets, which cost $21 each and last three months.

You know you are using too much spray deodorant when...

BERLIN (Reuters) - A group of young German women used so much spray deodorant in the bathroom of a North Sea youth hostel that it set off a fire alarm and brought the local fire brigade rushing to the rescue, police said Monday.

"The fumes of the pleasant-smelling deodorant were so intense that they drifted up to the ceiling and set off a fire detector," said Volker Buttgereit of the Buesum police force.

Local authorities said they were also surprised the heavy use of deodorant could set off the alarm. "Hopefully the girls will get by with a little less spray next time," said Buttgereit.

Sen. Barack Obama Apologizes for Saying U.S. Troops 'Wasted'

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama is apologizing for saying the lives of the more than 3,000 U.S. troops killed in the Iraq war were "wasted."

During his first campaign trip this weekend, the Illinois senator told a crowd in Ames, Iowa, "We ended up launching a war that should have never been authorized, and should never been waged, and on which we have now spent $400 billion, and have seen over 3,000 lives of the bravest young Americans wasted."

He immediately apologized on Sunday, saying the remark was "a slip of the tongue."
