In Devon, England, John Wood had taken his wife out for a romantic anniversary dinner at the waterfront River Exe Café when they got the shock of their lives. They looked out the window to see several naked passengers waving at them from a passing ship. Turns out the passing cruise liner was the Torbay Sun Club's annual Nude Cruise, where nudists set sail with nothing but their "personal luggage" - whatever that means. Wood told reporters, "My wife and I were having a lovely anniversary dinner at the River Exe café when we caught sight of a boat full of naked people traveling slowly." Reaction in the restaurant was mostly of amusement, though some were rather disgusted. (Oddely News)

The southern portion of the Great Salt Lake in Utah has dropped to its lowest level ever, according to the U.S Geological Survey. Lake levels have been declining for some time, but the record-breaking drought hitting the West has accelerated its fall in recent months. Average daily water levels dropped about an inch below the previous record of 4,194 feet, set in 1963, with records dating back to 1847. The drought numbers in Utah this year illustrate how dire the situation is there. The latest U.S Drought Monitor report released on Thursday shows nearly 100% of the state is experiencing extreme drought conditions -- level 3 out of 4. And more than two-thirds of the state is now in an exceptional drought -- the highest drought level. Just one year ago, there were no exceptional drought conditions reported in Utah. Drought conditions are only expected to get worse in the coming weeks with limited chances for widespread, significant rainfall. (MSN)

If you're going camping, clean up after yourself for crying out loud! A judge has ordered an Idaho woman to pay over $5,800 for leaving trash out that attracted a grizzly bear to her campsite in Wyoming's Grand Teton National Park. Federal prosecutors say wildlife officials had to tranquilize the bear and move it elsewhere in the park in the hope that tasting human food won't make it a recurring danger to people. A U.S. magistrate judge convicted the 50-year-old woman of improper food storage, a misdemeanor. The fine is to cover the cost of relocating and having to use a GPS collar to track the bear.

Organizers of a world record attempt for the longest game of corn hole in Nebraska announced they met their goal Friday -- and they are still going. Andy Fedoris, one of the players attempting the world record in the gymnasium at Lourdes Central Catholic School in Nebraska City, said the team discovered the Guinness World Records time to beat was 26 hours, 13 minutes. The group's support team announced on Facebook just after noon Friday that they had achieved the record-breaking time, but were planning to keep going for "as long as they can." Fedoris said the team is already discussing attempting to break another world record next year by attempting to hold the world's largest corn hole tournament. He said the number to beat is 167 teams.

Carole Taylor may be 83, but she now has a fifth-degree black belt in karate - an honor she received from Chuck Norris himself. The Utah woman's passion for martial arts began 15 years ago at the age of 68, when she started taking her 11-year-old granddaughter to lessons. Taylor learned karate alongside her granddaughter and says, "We both got our first-degree black belts at about the same time." On Saturday, that granddaughter was there to watch Taylor show off her skills in front of dozens at Chuck Norris' annual United Fighting Arts Federation International Training Convention. For her demonstration, Taylor chose to show forms of karate including traditional hand techniques, stances, footwork, targeting, focusing and power. She performed to the Beach Boys' song "Little Old Lady from Pasadena," because that's where she grew up. Afterwards, Norris awarded her a fifth-degree black belt - an accomplishment that takes years to reach in the Chuck Norris

Meanwhile in Flagler County, Florida, Reza Baluchi washed ashore inside a bubble-like vessel on Saturday morning after an apparent attempt to walk on water. Flagler County deputies responded to calls from concerned citizens who spotted a strange vessel on the beach in the Hammock area. Baluchi, the vessel's sole occupant, was discovered safe inside without any injuries. He told authorities that he had set off for New York from the St. Augustine area before encountering "complications" that brought him back to shore. He also said, "My goal is to not only raise money for homeless people, but raise money for the Coast Guard, raise money for the police department, raise money for the fire department." Apparently Baluchi has been rescued several times in previous years after setting off inside hydro bubbles. (Global News)

Dr. Alan Hirsch from the Smell and Taste Treatment and Research Foundation in Chicago conducted an 8-year study with 800 volunteers and claims the results show that people's snack food preferences reveal their personality type. He says the link between food preferences and personality is much like a Rorschach ink blot test long used by psychologists for insight into personality. Here's the true meaning of all that junk food you eat: Pretzels  mean you're a flirt and you're very lively and energetic. Cheese  curls mean you have great integrity and maintain a high moral ground. Potato chips  mean you are aggressive, a real go-getter who will not take no for an answer. Tortilla chips  mean you're a perfectionist. An "A" is not good enough for you. It has to be an "A+." Beef jerky  means you're the life of the party. You're outgoing and gregarious.

Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo." Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over." "Race issue" meant arguing about who ran the fastest.

Being old, referred to anyone over 20. The net on a tennis court was the perfect height to play volleyball and rules didn't matter. It was unbelievable that dodgeball wasn't an Olympic event. Having a weapon in school, meant being caught with a slingshot. Nobody was prettier than Mom. Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better. It was a big deal to finally be tall enough to ride the "big people" rides at the park. Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true. Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare."

Its International Chess Day, Nap Day, National Fortune Cookie Day, National Lollipop Day and Moon Day (in honor of the moon landing back in 1969).   Those of you who are old enough will remember July 20th as the day in 1969, when Neil Armstrong became the first man to walk on the moon. Today marks the 43rd anniversary of that historic event. Here's a look back at the giant leap we made for mankind: Apollo XI had a crew of three: Mission commander Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins and Edwin E. "Buzz" Aldrin. They blasted off from Kennedy Space Center in Florida at 9:32am, Wednesday, July 16, 1969. Apollo XI reached the moon's orbit on Sunday, July 20. Aldrin and Armstrong then transferred into a lunar module for the final leg of the journey, and touched down on the moon at 4:18pm July 20. Aldrin piloted the lunar module, which had just 40 seconds of fuel left when they landed. Armstrong set foot on the surface more than six hours later, at 10:56pm. The crew returned to E

These are actual comments made on students' report cards by teachers in the New York City public school system. All teachers were reprimanded (but, boy, are these funny.) Since my last report, your child has reached rock bottom and has started to dig. I would not allow this student to breed. Your child has delusions of adequacy. Your son is depriving a village somewhere of an idiot. (my favorite..) Your son sets low personal standards and then consistently fails to achieve them. The student has a 'full six-pack' but lacks the plastic thing to hold it all together. This child has been working with glue too much. When your daughter's IQ reaches 50, she should sell. The gates are down, the lights are flashing, but the train isn't coming.. If this student were any more stupid, he'd have to be watered twice a week. It's impossible to believe the sperm that created this child beat out 1,000,000 others. The wheel is turning but the hamster is definitely dead. Mone
