This surely is news! Even after his death, the name of Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq sends shivers down the spines of those who were oppressed by him. Today, he isn't around but the traces of him refuse to leave the front page. How about this incident that occurred on the internet: Saddam Hussein’s Rolls Royce was for sale on eBay. Somehow it got off there either because some of his loyal supporters took it back or it...

I mean, I can definitely understand spendng money on his clothes like capes and jumpsuits, his musical instruments and even his awards. But when people start bidding...

I dunno if this makes any sense. May be it does, so its being written about. I simply fail to understand what on Earth are Seattle's Filthy, Prostitute-Ridden Automated Public Toilets doing on eBay. Its simply an attempt made to cover the losses caused on this high-tech, self-cleaning public toilets and more so cause calling them a disaster would actually be an understatement. What else would you expect them to do after they spend a bomb of money on...

Thinking that Bollywood actress Shilpa Shetty would be completely off kisses (in public atleast) after the Richard Gere controversy was by far my most pathetic predictions. The actress is at it again, this time for charity though. The 32-year-old Indian beauty attended last week’s Silver Star gala in London, and was awarded with the charity’s prestigious Global Diversity Award, along with Formula One legend Lewis Hamilton. What followed was a dinner and auction to raise money for the Silver...

Who said that the Romans were dumb at games? They didn’t have fun with sports that only included brawn and bloodshed like chariot racing and gladiator brawls.
