WORST LOVERS
OnePoll.com, asked women from 20 countries to rate nations on their ability in bed and give reasons for their answers. A poll of 15,000 women found that Germans were the worst in bed because they were considered “too smelly”. English lovers came second because they were too lazy, while men from Sweden were branded “too quick” and came third. Spanish men topped the table as the best lovers, followed by Brazilians and Italians. Scotland (too loud), Turkey (too sweaty) and Wales (too selfish).

PAWS AND PRAYER
An Anglican church near Montreal has become dog-friendly, offering a Paws and Pray service once a month. The communion service at Christ Church Beaurepaire in Beaconsfield will include treats for the dogs and bowls of water along with bread and wine for their humans.

TREASURE HUNT
Patty Henken was refinishing an antique chair and found a key in an envelope with a note promising $250 in U.S. gold coins buried in a chest in Springfield. Now she’s on a treasure hunt. On the envelope were the typewritten words “Finders Keepers.” The typewritten note detailed a Springfield location where the gold coins were supposedly buried. She got permission from the property owner and started digging. No treasure yet but the search is on. She’ll split the take with the property owner.

FAVRE BURNS
Greenbay fans are being encouraged to burn their Bret Farve memorabelia before the Monday night Vikings-Packers game. The Milwaukee Burger Co. will have a flaming barrel where fans can toss their Favre jerseys, pictures, posters, and other stuff. They plan to donate 10 bucks to charity for each item to go up in flames.

PUBLIC BREAKUP
Sydney, Australia residents aren’t quite sure what to make of a very public break up. 5 separate signs on phone poles for Jennifer. His feelings started out as romantic: “Jennifer, will you marry me?” the fist sign said. But the next one said: “Just joking, we’re breaking up.” And the following one added: “You have six days to get out.” Avalon resident Rhiannon Johnston said: “I think it is a prank. If not, it is really mean or Jennifer really screwed up big time.”
