Jilted wife dumps husband's goods on eBay

LONDON, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- A British woman who claims to have been dumped by her cheating husband has dumped his entire wardrobe for sale on eBay.

The furious mother of two said she would take cash or swap the items for "a decent single man," the Mirror reported.

The clothes came from her husband's closet, but she advised buyers that some items "might be slightly damp due to them being chucked out of the window."


Lavish Vienna toilets due for change

VIENNA, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Urinals shaped like women's mouths are reported on their way out at the lavish restroom near the Vienna national opera.

The urinals feature thick, lip-sticked lips, a set of teeth and a bright red tongue.

Neuhold Gerhard, owner of the company that operates the toilets, said he would remove the urinals within two weeks after being urged to do so, the Sun said.

Marianne Lackner, media spokeswoman for the Vienna Department of Women's Affairs called them "tasteless, misogynistic and offensive."


Woman dumps garbage, collects bags

NAGOYA, Japan, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- A Japanese woman has been arrested for allegedly dumping bags of garbage on a nearby residential garden so she can take the empty bag home.

The 70-year-old woman, whose name was withheld, told authorities she had a wild urge to collect garbage bags, Mainichi Shumbun said.

She allegedly picked up bags of garbage from collection spots and then emptied the waste in the garden of the same home 30 times since February.


Nakedness in office leads to firing

HAMILTON, Ohio, Oct. 20 (UPI) -- Despite possible medical explanations, a Hamilton, Ohio, prosecutor has been fired for walking around naked in public office buildings.

Scott Blauvelt has been ordered to appear in court next Tuesday on two counts of public indecency. Officials said security cameras captured him walking naked in Hamilton's Government Services Center on Oct. 4-5. He currently is on paid leave, the Cincinnati Enquirer said.

Attorney Mike Gmoser says Blauvelt's actions may have resulted from mental illness, medication or the effects of a brain injury suffered in a car wreck last year.
