Cheeky Caper

That’s A Case Of Over-Exposure

It was a full moon in Massachusetts a few days ago - and we're not talking celestial bodies, either. We're talking full-on mooning. An 82-year-old man was in strife with police after showing a little too much ``Celtic pride'' while on stage at a recent festival. He lifted his kilt to reveal his bare backside to the crowd, and was quickly whisked off stage. ``Everybody knows something about this legend of what the Scotsman wears under his kilt, and I was just giving a demonstration,'' said Dr David McCracken. Ahem, his name is sorta appropriate for that caper, isn't it?

Unreal Estate

No Moat? And Ya Call This Shack A Castle?

Your home can be your castle - if you've got a lazy $15 million. The Searles Castle is for sale in Great Barrington, Massachusetts and has towered over the end of Main Street for 120 years. It was commissioned by the widow of a railroad tycoon, who married its designer, Edward Searles. Over the years, it's been a private school and a storage facility. If you’re interested, $15 million gets you seven turrets and a dungeon, but no moat.
