It might be time to send the Cookie Monster to rehab.

Researchers at Ohio State University have finally figured out why people can’t stop gobbling up chocolatechip cookies after just one.

A priest in Venice, Italy, wants to impose a “decency tax” on brides who show too much cleavage.

Father Cristiano Bobbo says he’s noticed downward trends when it comes to decolletage on dresses — and feels that outfits at church weddings should instead be simple and “in good taste.”

A Florida mom is suing three local bars for serving her daughter . . . tea.

Mary Tabar said that the four years her 19-year-old daughter Brette spent drinking herbal kratom tea at local watering holes left her with brain damage.

The drink is marketed as treating anxiety and pain — but actually caused damage to Brette’s frontal lobe, the mom claims.

A man in China went to the doctor after he kept hearing “noises like something was beating a drum” in his ear.

Turns out a spider had crept inside his ear canal and spun a network of webs. The man wasn’t injured.
