Obsessed Fan of “Friends” Lives His Life According to the Popular Sitcom

Posted: 15 May 2015 01:23 AM PDT

A man in Beijing, China, is so obsessed with Friends that he's transformed his entire life to mirror the iconic '90s sitcom. He legally changed his name to Gunther, married a woman named Rachel (yay!), and named his son Joey. His apartment is decorated just like Joey and Chandler's, he owns a real-life Central Perk cafe and even has a pet named Smelly Cat!

Beijing-based Gunther said that he first discovered Friends while going through a rough break-up. "My first love had left me," he said. "Every day I was almost crying. One of my friends told me, 'You have to watch Friends.'" So he ended up binge-watching the episodes, and it helped him get past the difficult time.

When 37-year-old Kristy Mazins realised how much people hate confrontation, she developed an entire business plan around it. The former nurse from Melbourne started a service called 'Sorry It's Over' that helps people avoid the uncomfortable task of breaking up with someone. For a fee of AUS $5.50 (US $4.44) or more, Mazins will do the dirty work via text, email, handwritten letter, or even a phone call.

Mazins only needs her customers to provide her with a brief outline of what they want to say, and she will convert it into a heartfelt message designed to ease the pain. Additional services like sending flowers, a box of tissues, a sympathy basket, or a message delivered in person are also available.

Icelandic Students Create Organic Shampoo from Cow Urine, Mask Smell with Coconut

Posted: 15 May 2015 12:00 AM PDT

Inspired by an ancient beauty secret, a group of Icelandic students are hoping to cash in on people’s love of all things organic with a bizarre shampoo made from cow urine.

The six students from the University of Reykjavik said that they had come across historical records of women adding cow urine to their bathwater to clean their hair and give it a shiny look. This discovery inspired them to revive the tradition by making a urine-infused hair cleaning product. If their claims are to be believed, the urine-infused 'Q Shampoo' is chock full of vitamins and minerals, which do wonders for the hair.

"Despite the critics, some people will think it exciting and want to give it a try," said co-creator Anton Reynir Hafdisarson. "Icelandic history tells us that girls used to mix urine into their washing water to clean and beautify their hair."
