WEIRD STUFF: Man who ‘died’ in prison fire living lavishly in posh neighbourhood

Men with small feet make the best lovers

A new survey has found that women consider men who wear a size seven shoe to be the best between the sheets, shattering the myth that men with larger feet are better endowed.

The survey was conducted in Britain among 4,500 women, who were asked to reveal the shoe size of their greatest lovers. A healthy 23 per cent said that those with a size seven measured up best in the bedroom.

The study by the website OnBuy.com found that 53 per cent of females believe that lovers with smaller feet -- up to a size eight -- were the best at making love.

Size 13 and over only got two per cent of the vote, with size 12 getting just four per cent.

Northern Mexico has developed such a habit of exotic animals and violence, that people not only keep tigers as pets, they steal them.

Prosecutors in the violent northern state of Sonora said on Tuesday they are searching for a full-grown Bengal tiger named Baluma. They said the five-year-old male tiger was stolen on Monday from a home in the state capital, Hermosillo.

They said the owners had the proper paperwork needed to keep the animal.

Prosecutors distributed photos of the big cat resting in its cage alongside a dog, hoping residents will phone the police if they see the tiger.

Mexico has long had a problem with people keeping -- and occasionally losing control of -- large cats, which are sometimes found at drug traffickers' residences and are occasionally seen wandering loose.

Man who 'died' in prison fire living lavishly in posh neighbourhood

South African police have launched a manhunt for convicted rapist and murderer Thabo Bester, who escaped from a privately run maximum security prison in the Free State province under bizarre circumstances.

Bester, known as the 'Facebook rapist', was found guilty in 2012 of raping two women and killing one after luring them with the social media platform. In March last year, officials reported that he had died in a fire in his cell at the Mangaung Correctional Center, near Bloemfontein.

But now it appears that Bester escaped from his cell amid the fire and has been living lavishly in Johannesburg's posh Hyde Park suburb.

According to information first revealed by the South African news outlet GroundUp, and confirmed by the police, the body found burned in the cell was not Bester, according to DNA results.

Autopsy results have determined that the person found dead in the cell died as a result of blunt-force trauma to the head before the fire.

The fire appears to have been part of Bester's elaborate prison escape, which has raised many questions about the possible involvement of prison officials.
