Sex dolls to first kisses: Top 5 weirdest stories we saw this week
A sex doll brothel
What do you call a sex doll brothel — sex, doll and dhoka? A controversial brothel in Toronto that promised to offer people the chance to have sex with realistic-looking dolls has been shut down before it opened, after the city determined the operation would violate a bylaw. 'Aura Dolls' was slated to open September 8.
On its website, Aura Dolls states an hour with one doll will set you back $120. Double that with two dolls. There are six dolls to choose from and they can be used in various positions.
“The dolls are thoroughly sanitised to meet your expectations. We take extreme measures when it comes to the safety of our clients... The use of condoms are highly recommended,” according to the website.
Kiss of life
A first date that ends with a kiss? Well, some fear it might make you look too desperate, others advise you to wait — but some simply don't have any choice but to go ahead and seal the deal. An American doctor, Andi Traynor, 45, "kissed" her partner Max Montgomery, 56, on their very first date as she had to perform life-saving CPR on him after he collapsed during their date on a California beach.
She immediately performed life-saving CPR. Within minutes, Max was taken off the beach and revived, using a defibrillator.
The incident which happened last October was reported by The Daily Mail on August 29, revealing a heart-warming after-story.
Montgomery underwent a coronary bypass surgery the next day. He also told Traynor that he would understand if she didn’t want to keep seeing him. “But she told me she was not going anywhere,” he said, according to The Daily Mail.
The good news is, they are still going strong.
The same report quoted Traynor as saying: "A few weeks after his surgery, he was recuperating and we were on the beach just talking. 'I said, 'You can kiss me for real now.'"
Montgomery said: "My heart has been healed inside and out. I feel very blessed."
Awww.
Compulsory classes, not really
"Any student found without boyfriend or girlfriend will face penal action. Start making suitable arrangements. If caught without boyfriend or girlfriend inside the college after the given date, you shall be fined. Mind you, each student is allowed only one boyfriend or girlfriend. Abide by this rule or be suspended and pay a fine of Rs 1,000.”
According to a news report, this was a notice that sent waves of laughter across Chandigarh University recently. However, the management didn’t find it funny. The prankster has been rusticated.
The 'notice' came up on the notice board and the social media reportedly written on an official letterhead gave the announcement a "stamp of authority". The prankster was a first-year student of computer science engineering and information security.
Life's a beach
Thousands on Twitter are debating whether this image is of “a door or a beach.” The photograph was originally shared by Rebecca Reilly on the micro-blogging site.

Snooty people
After the maddening #KikiChallenge, #SnootChallenge is the latest Twitter trend keeping pet lovers busy.
This is how this challenge goes. A dog has to come and place its snout inside a certain object or a shape made with hands by their owners. The shape could be anything — round to square.

While dog owners have been inundating Twitter with videos of their pets, cat and their owners too have made some splash.
