Talk about exposing your ideals, politics and, well, ahem, all at once. A nudist community in Florida wants to create the

A group in London plans to petition the British government for a posthumous
pardon for the hundreds of people executed for witchcraft between the 16th and 18th centuries.
The head of Angels, a large costume shop in London, is leading the effort and said she believes it's time to put the associations about witches and Halloween to rest. The group has
created a website to collect signatures for their petition and had about 200 signatures this morning.
This is absolutely the most important news we will bring you all day. The paper of record, the Weekly World News has published a hard-hitting October Surprise endorsement: John McCain has picked up the coveted alien vote. Not illegal immigrants, real honest-to-goodness outer-space folks.
In a weirdo-political garage sale that keeps on giving, remnants from the 2000 Florida election are a hot commodity. Jim Dobyns, one Republican consultant who
purchased 1,200 Votomatic III voting machines from the 2000 election debacle in Florida is starting to see his own returns. In 2005, a man who originally bought the machines from the county was reselling them from his warehouse.
If it's Monday-morning-back-to-work time and you're just not feeling it, consider this gal for inspiration: at 88-years-old, Rosie Donaghey is still slinging hash. That is waiting tables — and her gig isn't necessitated by the economy. Rosie’s been working as a waitress
since she was in her 70s when she first applied for a job as a waitress.
Prisoners in Cardiff may soon have a fancier bathroom to keep a good grip of the soap in — they've just won
$2,000 of luxury bathroom goods in a gardening competition. After entering the Cardiff in Bloom competition — and coming in second place in the community building category — their entry was automatically put in a drawing to win the luxury bathroom fixtures. When their name was pulled as the winners, a ripple of laughter spread through the City Hall venue.
Actor Bolek Polivka is suing his former business partner
Tomas Harabis over the rights to the Wallachian Kingdom. Only the Wallachian Kingdom isn't on a map — it exists in a magical land, far, far away and was founded by Tomas and some friends as a joke.
The Wallachian Kingdom shows up on tourist maps in the south-east corner of Moravia, which is part of the Czech Republic.
Would you run naked down to the dock and jump in for a free "Skinny Dip" sandwich? If that sounds like a fair price for a free lunch, the town council of Greenville, ME, advises you to think again.
The town's Black Frog Restaurant
stopped its promotion offering a sliced prime rib on a baguette for free (regularly $10.95) to diners willing to run naked into Moosehead Lake.

Folha OnLine said police stopped a 36-year-old man on Wednesday night and discovered he has been ticketed nearly 1,000 times since 2001, the year he bought his current car. Folha OnLine said the accumulated fines for speeding and running red lights total 3.4 million reals ($1.9 million).
Perhaps fearing scenes just like this dotting older neighborhoods, the town of Lincoln, NE, just
passed a law banning indoor furniture from being used outside. The development could have big ramifications on the chillaxing abilities of the town's large population of college students, traditionally grand proponents of the "porch couch."
The city council voted 5-2 in favor of the new measure, and no one testified against the proposal during the open public hearing.
