Men may lust after the woman with the perfect body, but most would be too nervous to drop their clothes in front of her, a new poll has found

The poll also found that most men think that their bodies look more like Ricky Gervais than David Beckham. As it turns out, most men prefer a small waist and big bottom on their woman.

The skinny trend doesn’t really appeal to men, the poll also found, for just six per cent fancied skinny women. Also, only three per cent of men said they wanted to see skinny Posh Spice in the buff. Top celebrity body was curvy Scarlett Johansson, followed by Beyonce.

90 per cent of men who took part in the poll admitted that they lusted after curves, and 35 per cent said they liked a rounded tummy.

Also putting women’s fears at rest was the fact that just one in ten men are turned off by love handles, and only 16 per cent hate flat chests and stretch marks, according to the poll.

A Holocaust mystery finds some answers

Deep in Shari Klages' memory is an image of herself as a girl in New Jersey, going into her parents' bedroom, pulling a thick leather-bound album from the top shelf of a closet and sitting down on the bed to leaf through it.

What she saw was page after page of ink-and-watercolor drawings that convey, with simple lines yet telling detail, the brutality of Dachau, the Nazi concentration camp where her father spent the last weeks of World War II.

Arrival, enslavement, torture, death -- the 30 pictures expose the worsening nightmare through the artist's eye for the essential, and add graphic texture to the body of testimony by

Holo

caust survivors.

"I have a sense of being quite horrified, of feeling my stomach in my throat," Klages says. Just by looking at the book, she felt she was doing something wrong and was afraid of being caught.

Now, she finally wants to make the album public.

But who drew the pictures?

The sole clue was a signature at the bottom of several drawings: Porulski.

The US and UK governments are developing increasingly sophisticated gadgets to keep individuals under their surveillance. When it comes to technology, the US is determined to stay ahead of the game.

How you walk could be used to identify you in a crowd

"As you walk through a crowd, we'll be able to track you," said Professor Challapa. "These are all things that don't need the cooperation of the individual."

Tracking individuals

Smarter technology

"Yeah, I know," he said. "It sounds very Star Trekkish, but that's what's ahead."

"But it will also show whether someone inside a house is looking to harm you, because if they are, their heart rate will be raised. And 10 years from now, the technology will be much smarter. We'll scan a person with one of these things and tell what they're actually thinking."

"I hope in the future we'll be able to have conversations, if say you're speaking in French and I'm speaking in English, and it will be natural."

God sued for "terroristic threats"

To prove a point about frivolous lawsuits, Nebraska state Senator Ernie Chambers is suing God.

He said his main objection is the constitution requires that the doors to the courthouse be open to all. Chambers said, "Thus anybody can file a lawsuit against anybody-- even God."

Chambers' lawsuit, which was filed on Friday in Douglas County Court, seeks a permanent injunction ordering God to cease certain harmful activities and the making of terroristic threats.

The lawsuit admits God goes by all sorts of aliases, names, titles and designations and it also recognizes the fact that the defendant is “Omnipresent.”

The lawsuit also accuses God “of making and continuing to make terroristic threats of grave harm," and alleges God has caused, “fearsome floods, egregious earthquakes, horrendous hurricanes, terrifying tornadoes, pestilential plagues, ferocious famines, devastating droughts, genocidal wars, birth defects, and the like.”

Jack Hanna trapped in turnstile with flamingo

Animal expert Jack Hanna and an 11-month-old flamingo became trapped while trying to squeeze through an airport security turnstile. It took firefighters to finally get the flamingo out.

The entourage arrived at the Ohio State University Airport just after midnight Sunday to find the terminal closed. The only way to leave the tarmac was through a 10-foot-tall metal turnstile with several horizontal bars -- not the easiest exit to squeeze through when you're traveling with boxed-up animals, Hanna said.

"I never thought about the crate being square and the turnstile being round," he said.

Hanna, 60, pushed the flamingo's 2-foot-by-3-foot compartment into the turnstile, then continued pushing while straddling the crate.

"I was stuck like a worm. My eyes were as big as grapefruits," he said. "I can't describe the feeling in my stomach. I can't move up or down. The bars are on your face."

It took three firefighters to hoist the flamingo's crate up and out of the turnstile, he said.
