"A recent study showed that 48 per cent of Italians between the ages of 18 and 39 still live with their parents."

The Associated Press reports:

A man from the San Francisco Bay area has fathered 14 children in the last five years through free sperm donations to women he meets through his website — and is now in trouble with the federal government. Arsenault says he donates sperm out of a sense of service to help people who want to have children but can't afford conventional sperm banks. The 36-year-old minister's son has four more children on the way. "I always had known through people praying at church that there's fertility issues," Arsenault told The Associated Press on Monday. "I thought it would just be a neat way of service to help the community."

I think it's pretty safe to say that's a "Baby-making FAIL," right?

Clearly we are dealing with some high-quality journalism here.

A Detroit-area man had his 9-year-old daughter drive him to the store because she was his "designated Driver." The daughter reportedly got into the driver's seat at a gas station and drove for several miles before the police pulled the van over, after a 911 tip informed the police of the young driver. When the tyke pulled over, she was reported as saying "What did you stop me for? I was driving good." Luckily, nobody was injured from the incident and no accidents occurred. Except maybe for a man having to admit that his pre-teen daughter could drive better than him in the circumstances.
