THE ugly 40-year feud between former Pink Floyd band leaders Roger Waters and David Gilmour has exploded again after a ferocious social media tweet by Gilmour’s wife, Polly Samson, the band’s lyricist. In a scathing Feb. 7 message, Samson blasts Waters, writing: “Sadly, you are antisemitic to your rotten core.

Smoking pot gets gals hot! + CANNABIS may fire up female libidos and spark multiple climaxes, according to a recent survey. Researchers in North Carolina polled women who smoke pot and found gals who toked before sex or masturbation appeared to have an improved capacity for orgasms.

A SEVERED human penis was found in the parking lot at an Alabama gas station miles from a horrifying crash on Interstate 10 in Mobile that literally tore motorcyclist Christopher Means, 29, to pieces, police say.
