Can't let a weekend go by without at least one silly post, not my post being silly - just the stuff in it!

What else are weekends for if not for fun. With out further fanfare, here's a couple of interesting little things.

With all the walls he's run through over the years, its about time some of them get patched up.

Gerle Kittler lies asleep at a station blissfully unaware his mates carried him there after he dozed off at a party.

They wheeled still-sleeping Gerle, 25, and the sofa more than a mile to the local station near Warngau, Germany, and put him on a train after buying a single ticket for him and a bike ticket for the settee.

He only woke up on a platform four miles down the line in Warngau, Germany, still stretched out on his couch being quizzed by police.

"I always sleep like a baby so I didn't notice anything until the cops shook me awake and demanded my ID. I thought I was in the middle of a bad movie," said Gerle.

A second rude awakening came when he realised he had no cash and his mobile battery was flat.

"I ran four miles home and went straight back to bed," he said.

Can't get enough of that Nintendo stuff? Then this is for you!

Now You’re Playing With Power!

The most recognizable and unforgettable characters in the video game industry have teamed up to bring you the Nintendo Collector’s Edition of the world’s most popular board game, MONOPOLY.

No controllers are necessary this time as you join forces with Mario, Luigi, Link, Zelda, Kirby and others on a quest to defeat your opponents and own it all.

And finally a little Mariachi music for you.

The Naked Cowboy might be considered a quirky asset to New York City's tourism industry. Now the Times Square traffic-stopper says he'd make a mighty fine mayor.

Robert Burck, who performs in his underwear, made his candidacy official Wednesday. He aims to give the buttoned-up, third-term hopeful, billionaire Michael Bloomberg, a run for his money.

Burck says: "Being naked is a whole lot more than having no clothes on: It's about transparency in politics, it's about telling the naked truth."

Burck does a brisk business posing for pictures with tourists. His standard fashion statement is a cowboy hat, boots, white briefs and a guitar strapped to his bare chest.

As for campaign funds, he says: "I have no expenses. I own 40 pairs of underwear, a car and a suitcase."

Better there than here. Here he'd freeze his ass off.
