Man uses wife’s body to make PC case mod
This guy loved his wife so much he decided to make a body cast of her torso and turn it into a mod he calls “The Blair Witch Mod”. I guess he wasn’t happy with just real-sex and had to go for cyber-sex too. Who says marriage is dead?

Pipex Suck!!
If you use any kind of P2P and you are on Pipex in the UK, lookout as you are about to be throttled!!
Pipex are in the process of throttling all p2p traffic to around 20k per connection.
