Ring tone increases bust size
A Japanese guru claims to have invented a mobile phone ring tone that can help women's breasts to grow bigger.
Hideto Tomabechi's Rockmelon tone registered more than 10,000 downloads in the first week alone.
Tomabechi became famous helping members of the AUM Shinrikyo doomsday cult to return to normal life.
He claims his ring tone has "sounds that make the brain and body move unconsciously".
Tomabechio calls the subliminal breast booster a kind of "positive brainwashing" and says it draws on his teachings of the "powers of cognitive science".
One satisfied user told Japanese media: "I listened to the tune for a week expecting all the time that I was being duped. But, incredibly, my 34-inch bust grew to 35 inches. It was awesome."
Tomabechi says he's now planning other ring tones to help people quit smoking, combat baldness and attract a mate.

Teacher Sends Boy Home With Feces In Bag
DALLAS -- A teacher is on paid administrative leave after sending a first-grader home with feces in his backpack because the boy soiled the classroom floor.
The teacher apparently was frustrated with the 6-year-old student's actions so she wrapped up the waste and sent it home with the boy Tuesday along with a note, Dallas school district spokesman Donald Claxton said.
Claxton declined to identify the teacher at Gabe P. Allen Elementary School.
"It generally appears the teacher was trying to help raise awareness with the family," Claxton said. "It's just an unfortunate incident. Unfortunately, she took this course of action."

Recipients In Oprah's Car Giveaway Face Hefty Taxes
CHICAGO -- People who got new cars in a surprise giveaway on "The Oprah Winfrey Show" are finding out that those vehicles aren't exactly free.
The 276 audience members who received Pontiac G6s on Winfrey's show will need to come up with thousands of dollars to cover taxes on their winnings.
Pontiac agreed to pay most of the local charges, including state sales tax and licensing fees.
But the hitch is that each winner must report the car's $28,500 value as income and pay taxes on it -- which could add up to more than $7,000.
Some recipients say it's still a good deal. Winner Tiffany Self -- a Wheaton College employee -- points out that it isn't often that you can get a new car for $7,000.
