We've all been there, you need to go to the loo, but it's so cold you physically can't. Well the Manneken-Pis -- the iconic statue of a urinating boy in Brussels -- knows your pain.

Officials in the Belgian city say they've been forced to turn off the peeing tourist attraction because it's currently too cold for him to continue urinating.

As sub-zero temperatures hit Brussels, bosses were apparently worried that freezing water could damage his internal mechanism and as such turned off the flow of water.

A spokesperson for the Brussels tourist office said that when the weather picks up he will once again piss for Belgium.

There's something about videos of interspecies animal friendships which its hard not to find adorable! Don't believe us... just click play.

This video shows a pet wolf getting along terrifically with a young kitten -- in fact they're getting on so well it looks like the cat has been fostered by the wolf.

Adam Bilsing, who uploaded the video in which the two animals can be seen cuddling up to each other and then the wolf picking up the kitten gently in its mouth, did so with the simple comment "... and we were worried"

We just hope that after the camera stopped rolling this cute scene didn't take a gory turn and become something a whole less cute.

This amazing collection of art has been painted by artists who have one thing in common - they paint with their mouths.
 
The incredible artworks, which include landscapes of Tower Bridge and the Houses of Parliament have all been lovingly created by a group of disabled artists.
 
All of who are members of the Mouth and Foot Painting Artists association which helps its members earn a living by creating artwork without the use of their hands.
 
Despite severe handicaps many of the artists have achieved international recognition through work produced with brushes held by their teeth or clenched between their toes.

Sometimes posting to Twitter can be too easy, after all you can do it from your phone, computer, tablet or TV -- but what if you want to go retro and make it a bit more difficult?

Well how about this Twitter telegraph key -- or Tworse Key -- a (very) old-school solution where you have to bash out your messages in morse code.

The inventor of the device says the standalone unit connects through a standard LAN cable, the Morse signals are decoded by a built-in Arduino Ethernet board, which delivers the final message though the Twitter API.

An artist has created a life-size human sculpture from more than 20,000 artificial and hand painted ladybirds.

A team of water skiers from Australian have all become record breakers after becoming the most people ever to water ski together from a single boat.

The group managed to stay upright and afloat for one nautical mile, as they travelled behind the boat in Macquarie Harbour in Strahan, Tasmania.

A 114ft catamaran -- which normally takes tourists on tours -- had to be specially  modified for the task and five miles of rope was needed.

While nine of the 154 water skiers fell during the attempt, 145 was still plenty to beat the previous record of 114.

US TV news station CNN has issued a red-face apology after accidentally locating London in Norfolk on a news illustration graphic.

The geography gaffe appeared during a report covering a story about the phone hacking scandal and a map tried to show Cornwall and London.

Unsurprisingly the blunder was spotted and soon tweeted where it went viral -- prompting the apology.

Writing on Twitter CNN said: "CNN apologises for a map error which shifted London from its correct location! We have corrected this & are looking into how this occurred."

If washing machines could be turned up to 11 à la Spinal Tap, your clothes might get a bit cleaner -- but the kitchen would be a considerably more dangerous place.

We know this because the latest crazy viral video shows what happens when groups of Australian 'thrill-seekers' supercharged a Hotpoint.

After affixing the washing machine to a wooden pallet, the group ran extra power through it using a Yamabishi 10A Variac at 300V max.

This meant that the machine tore itself to pieces as it juddered and shook   … and that was before they started throwing metal parts into it.

A letter from a three-and-a-half-year-old girl who wanted to know why Tiger Bread was called that when it looks more like a giraffe has seen the product renamed.

Little Lily Robinson had initially written to Sainsbury's after being confused by the product in her mother's shopping basket and offering a new name for it.

And after customer service man Chris King (aged 27 1/3) replied saying "renaming tiger bread giraffe bread is a brilliant idea" the exchange went viral online.

Now, after a Facebook campaign the supermarket has announced it is officially renaming the loaf. Well done Lily!

Ewe won't believe your eyes when you see this! And presumably neither could the driver in this video when he saw a flock of sheep circling him.

Footage which has gone viral online shows a motorist driving on a farm and being followed by a baa-rmy flock of sheep who run rings around his pale blue car.

After a slow start the sheep build up pace and are soon charging around the vehicle in was some viewers have described as a 'Sheep Cyclone'.
