A MAN had to cling to the bonnet of a car for four kilometres as its driver allegedly attempted to throw him off during a road rage incident in Sydney.
NSW Police said the 30-year-old man and his wife were travelling along Parramatta Road at Concord in Sydney's inner west at 8.20pm (AEDT) last night when they were involved in a minor collision with a Peugeot hatchback.

After the Peugeot failed to stop, the couple caught up with it further along Parramatta Road, where they stopped and approached the vehicle while it was stuck in heavy traffic.

The driver of the Peugeot then allegedly began to drive at the couple, forcing the man onto the bonnet.

Defying conventional wisdom about the dangers of mixing hot beverages and naked bodies, a man showed up skin to seat at a Tim Hortons drive-through Thursday morning. "My understanding is a gentleman came through the drive-through operating a mini-van wearing nothing but a smile," said Sgt. David Cowan of Saint John police. Police were called, but the clothing-liberated driver had already driven away. Cowan said he didn't know if the driver got his coffee.

SCIENTISTS have proved it is possible to match a person to their dog just by their appearance.

And the study suggests a possible reason - people are drawn to pets with similar physical attributes.

Men and women shown pictures of dog owners and asked to guess whether they had a labrador, poodle or staffordshire bull terrier fared almost twice as well as would be expected by chance.

Researchers at Britain's Bath Spa University first set out to see if dogs and their masters had similar personalities.

A 13-year-old Virginia boy apparently loaded his family's pickup truck with food, clothes and his dog, hitched up a trailer with two horses in tow and drove nearly 1,300 miles to Texas, police said. The teen's parents found him safe Friday.

Police are unsure why the boy ran away Wednesday morning from his Jetersville-area home. He apparently was well-prepared, even bringing extra propane tanks along.

Wyatt E. McLaughlin was found about 2 p.m. Friday on a rodeo grounds near Weatherford, Texas, where he had performed several times before. His parents looked for him there on a hunch, said Sgt. Tom Cunningham, a Virginia State Police spokesman.

A BRAZILIAN man says he is done with underwater fishing after an accident left him with a spear embedded 15cm into his skull.

Doctors removed the spear from Emerson de Oliveira Abreu's brain and said he would have died had it entered his skull at a different angle, The Associated Press reports.

Mr Aberu is now in a stable condition and said he would "never more" fish with spears.

Mr Abreu told Globo TV he felt "a sharp pain" after the spear hit a rock and bounced back into his head just above his left eye.

He described the pain he felt every time he touched the spear or when the ambulance hit bumps in the road as unbearable...

They found the drug naltrexone helped take away the "thrill" that drives some kleptomaniacs to steal.
"It gets rid of that rush and desire," said Dr Jon Grant, of the University of Minnesota in America, who led the study.
Writing in the Journal of Biological Psychiatry, Dr Grant and colleagues said they tested 25 patients who spent an average of at least one hour a week stealing.
Dr Grant said that these are people who steal "even though they can easily afford not to", and that they are troubled by their behaviour.
Over eight weeks some of the volunteers took naltrexone, while the others took a placebo or dummy drug.
