Psychic goes instant messenger style
Traditional psychics are beginning to adapt to the changing world of electronics in an attempt to reach new clientele. The 20th century has brought psychics like Justine Kenzer, a Los Angeles-based psychic for 16 years, into the realm of instant messaging. Kenzer started e-mail readings through her Web site, psychicgirl.com, in 1999. "I wanted to do it because there's a different consciousness online," she said. With instant messaging, she says her clients can ask follow up questions immediately and because she can "read someone's energy" over IM, there's no loss of psychic connection despite not being able to see or hear her clients. Kenzer's says she's currently looking into delivering readings via cell phone text messages as well.

You really don't see that everyday
About 40 miles west of Boston, a 500-pound moose crashed through the windshield of a car late last Thursday night. The moose ended up sitting in the passenger seat with its head sticking through the windshield. Emergency response personnel cut the roof off of the car in order to remove the moose while the driver, Juleigh McDowell, 30, got out of the car under her own volition and escaped without injury. The moose, however, was not so lucky; according to police, it was later euthanized by state environmental police because of the severity of its injuries.

Medieval haircuts with a modern twist
Hungarian stylist Szabolcs Bodnar has created a new way to experience the fright and fear associated with getting your hair cut as a small child. Bodnar has ditched the traditional scissors and comb in favor of axes, Japanese steel and the occasional vacuum cleaner. The stylist has had a booming business since he abandoned the traditional tools of the trade for some more fear-provoking utensils which he claims "allow him to express himself better." Most haircuts are performed at his shop in Budapest where he places the client's hair on a chopping block, and strikes it with an axe and styles it using a vacuum cleaner or straightens it using an iron. More fit and adventurous customers have the option of hanging upside down as he swings away with a Samurai sword, so fast that the haircut is finished in seconds. "Today's hairstyles allow for more creativity and inventiveness, and that is what I offer," Bodnar said.
