• People Magazine has named Johnny Depp its sexiest man alive for 2009.

• Hollywood is intent, it seems, on producing another unholy abomination that will, in effect, rape our childhood. That's right, there's a Smurfs movie in the works!

• Those crazy New Zealanders, you guys! They're heading to Antarctica to drill for lost whiskey!

From Neatorama: a group of explorers from New Zealand are traveling to the campsite of Sir Ernest Shackleton's 1909 Antarctic expedition in the hopes of finding whiskey left behind beneath the floorboards of a shelter.

• The Black Keys rap project continues to release new tracks for preview ahead of its Nov. 27 release date. This latest track features Mos Def. Other released tracks feature Raekwon, Mos and Jim Jones.

• If marijuana was legal, our neighbors Ohio and Pennsylvania would bring in a combined $64 million in tax revenue a year. Isn't that something? For more interesting pot facts and figures, head on over to sloshspot.com or follow the link to the left (or just simply look at the graph we have posted to the left as well).

• Homeless Russian cannibals have been arrested for killing a man, eating some of him and then selling chunks of his flesh to a kebab kiosk.

• Dutch soccer player Robin van Persie who plays for Arsenal and Netherlands teams is seeking an unusual treatment for an injury: he's flying to  Serbia to have his injury massaged with placenta fluid.

• Sometimes people do things that are just plain crazy but totally reasonable to them (see nearly all of the above posts). In this case, we're talking about New Zealanders who, without hedge clippers, had to find a way to trim their hedges. So what did they do? They hauled a lawnmower into the sky with a crane.

The man had expected a real hedge trimmer to turn up on Sunday to mow the hedge, but when he didn’t his mate arrived with his crane and a ride-on mower.

The next thing he knew he was being hoisted up on top of the two-metre high hedge.

"We were supposed to get all dressed up in our Mooloo gear and show people that this is how the Waikato boys mow their hedges.”

The unusual sight bemused passing motorists. One passer-by, Bart Dinger, said it was a classic case of Kiwi ingenuity.

“A kiwi classic – jandals and all,” he said.
