Careful when you tell someone "let them eat cake"


When Chidi Ogbuta renewed her wedding vows, it wasn't so much getting spliced as getting sliced.

The 35-year-old went that extra layer when it came to the cake – by ordering a life-size replica of herself.

Mrs Ogbuta and husband Innocent , also 35, celebrated their ten years of married life with the 1.5m-tall (5ft) gateau, which was so big it took four men to carry it into the venue.

5. I'm glad someone else made that connection.
There was quite an outcry over Tom Petty's video for "Don't Come Around Here No More," in which a living Alice cake is sliced up for the Mad Hatter's tea party. The symbolism is distrurbing here, too, but as it seems to be completely voluntary--and at a private function, as well--I'm not sure what objection is reasonable.

The Goths on the bus? They were playing with the driver and passengers, and made their point, I think.
