Oh those long lonely nights when all you wanted was for someone to hold you close and take all your pain away. Being in a relationship is super-stressful, but being out of one isn’t any way to live either. Dutch designer and illustrator Noortje de Keijzer seems to have found the perfect solution (at least until she finds the real thing). She has knitted herself a life-size version body pillow in the shape of a man and calls him “My Knitted Boyfriend”. Do with him everything you would with a real boyfriend – kiss, cuddle, caress, hug or just watch some TV. It’s almost like having the real thing sans a personality (admit it ladies, the same could be said about most of the “real” men you meet out there). There are two very special men to choose from – “Artur” and “Steve.” She has even created a number of accessories so that you can personalize your own pillow man. Most importantly, he will never leave you.

Texting has come to become one of the basic communication techniques in the 21st century. In fact, we take the act of texting and instant messaging for granted, that it is hard for us to imagine getting in trouble for such a simple act. But that is exactly what happened to a 30-year-old woman in Saudi Arabia, identified only as YH. The Saudi woman has been sentenced to eight lashes by a court in Qatif for sending out a text message to a stranger by mistake. This text allegedly promoted the Shiite branch of Islam, which is publically disparaged in Saudi Arabia. Shia Muslims are not allowed to practice their faith, or even profess their sectarian beliefs in private. YH apparently sent the text to another Saudi woman which contained a group of telephone numbers under the name ‘Shiite Islamic religious services’. One of these numbers was Ayatollah Sistani’s, Iraq’s most senior Shiite cleric. Openly advocating the Shia faith has been declared an act of Haram (forbidden and despicable in Arabic). Hence, YH has to face severe punishment.
