The number of Xs in the palm of your right hand is the number of children you will have. I knew it! My wife had more children than I've got X's. Thanks.

news from around the world (and Seattle): The World's First Annual Gangbang Championship starts pumping up on Thursday, February 7, in Warsaw, Poland. Three women are competing for the coveted honor -- Brazilian porn star Mayara, British model Claire Brown, and Polish magazine editor Klaudia Figura. They'll compete by having sex with as many men as possible. To qualify, each encounter must last between 30 seconds and a minute. Organizers hope at least one competitor breaks the world record of 620 sex partners, set by American porn actress Houston in 1998. Insiders say Warsaw native Figura is the crowd favorite and one organizer says "all Poland will be proud" if she sets a record. ----------------------- CALGARY, Alberta - A man pretending to be a home buyer took advantage of dozens of real estate open houses. The man would browse through the houses and steal several pieces of lingerie, adding up to 200 pairs of panties and bras. According to police, the 35-year-old suspect would later find the seller's phone number and harass the owner. "He would comment on the lingerie and make suggestions with regard to how it may look on the victim, and things of that nature," Detective Stu Morse said. Police tracked the sus- pect during their investigation and caught him making one of the taunting calls from a pay phone. He has now been arrested on several charges, and police are requesting the man undergo a psychiatric evaluation. Over his entire har- rassment period, the man is said to have victimized as many as 100 women. ----------------- VIENNA, Austria - No one knows what they were thinking. A group of Austrian police officers who posed for a calendar packing their pistols and not much else have been demoted to routine patrol duty. The men appeared nude with guns, handcuffs, nightsticks and were superimposed over photos of barely-clothed women. The almost dozen officers wanted to join Cobra, the elite unit protecting VIPs like the Pope, but they have been refused because of the calendar. While female listeners have expressed their appreciation for the pictures, fellow police officers are only shaking their heads. One officer said, "To call them naive would be flat- tering them. It was simply stupid. They've made the job difficult for their colleagues, who've lost credibility on the street. ------------------ A fire-breathing transvestite danced topless on an electrical tower beside a freeway bridge for more than an hour, snarling rush-hour traffic and causing a power outage to 5,000 homes and businesses. The 37-year-old donned a halter top and descended at the urging of police shortly before 9 a.m. She was arrested for criminal tres- pass and indecent exposure. The woman(?) was first reported at 7:26 a.m. on a tower that carries electrical lines next to an interstate bridge over the Lake Washington Ship Canal. Wearing only shorts, she was gyrating, drinking vodka, spitting the liquor out of her mouth and lighting it on fire. Seattle City Light cut power to protect the woman, leaving 5,000 customers without electricity. ------------------
