Around The Weird: Bizarre News Briefs

Richmond, VA (WFN) -- There are still 69 shopping days until Christmas, but some guys are already planning to procrastinate. According to a Circuit City survey, 16 percent of men won't do their holiday shopping until Dec. 24.

TORONTO -- General Motors is going back to the drawing board for a new car that's going to be released in Canada because the name means "masturbation" in French slang. The vehicle was originally called the LaCrosse, before GM was informed of the naughty double meaning. The "Toronto Sun" reports GM still plans to release the car as LaCrosse in the United States, which doesn't have as large a French-speaking population as Canada.

LUCERNE, Switzerland -- Two Swiss men who went to the hospital complaining of breathing problems and numbness after opening a mysterious-looking package have discovered the bag contained nothing more dangerous than ground coffee. Their reactions were probably the result of stress, according to the "Blick" newspaper.

LONDON -- Britons are often made fun of for having bad teeth, and now there's proof they have bad breath to match. Toothpaste-maker Aquafresh tested the breath of 1,000 English people and found that three-fifths failed a sulfur emissions test. A dentist associated with the research says, "Some mouths may be dirtier than cat litter."
