Librarians can't put Humpty Dumpty back together again
Even all the librarians at Rogers Public Library couldn't put Humpty Dumpty back together again. A vandal sliced the head of the doll, and also damaged a stuffed wolf and a stuffed bear, though the stuffed animals were expected to be repaired. "They slashed Humpty Dumpty's head, cut a leg off the wolf and whacked an arm off a bear," said Fran Levine, the library's assistant director. "We were not able to put Humpty Dumpty back together again," Levine said. "He was not cut on a seam."

Chocolate gets spicy
Once, the most unusual thing you might find inside a chocolate was a gooey maraschino cherry.
Now a bite might yield tea, tangerine or hibiscus.
Fritz Knipschildt, 30, a Dane who has been experimenting with chocolate since he was 12, offers melt-in-your-mouth flavours including tangerine with red chilli, white chocolate with cardamom, and apple with rosemary.
Completly WRONG This Guy makes the best spicy chocolate EVER.
