Indian Model Will Strip For World Cup Victory

For a nation almost obsessed with modesty, particularly when it comes to women's attire, Indian citizens are shocked by a popular model's claim that she will strip naked if India wins the Cricket World Cup.

Poonam Pandey, aged 20, is a much-admired model who is currently featured on a top selling Indian swimwear calendar. She believes her offer is an incentive for players to give it their all, although as of yet, no one can say whether or not her proposal will be accepted.

"I'm a cricket fanatic and I'm a diehard supporter of my nation. India needs a lot of support and this is my way of supporting the team… I'm confident of my body and I'm doing this to excite our boys to play better," Pandey told reporters.

Although she swears this is no publicity stunt, the lovely model received more media attention that any clothed (or unclothed) model could ever hope for. A Times of India story further propelled her offer featuring a color photograph of her wearing a skimpy bikini.

This is not the first time a model has offered to "bare it all" for a cause.

Last year, Larissa Riquelme, a model from Paraguay, pledged to run naked through the streets of the capital city of Asuncion if her country won the 2010 football World Cup. When Paraguay lost to Spain, determined to take her clothes off, she instead posed nude in front of her national flag.

The connection between nudity and patriotism is murky at best.

What about those law-abiding citizens who don't have such perfect bodies?

Can they love their country too in their own particular, overweight  or out-of-shape way?

Mysterious elixirs. Wines capable of transporting the drinker-literally-to another world. Fossils that dream of rending flesh between their teeth. These wonders, and many more, spring from the fertile imagination of Brian Lumley. Harry Keogh: Necroscope and Other Weird Heroes! collects eight long tales of four of Lumley's most popular creations; Titus Crow, David Hero and his companion, Eldin the Wanderer; and the original Necroscope himself, Harry Keogh, who is featured in three completely new stories, one of them a short novel.

In "Inception," we see the infant Titus at the moment his destiny falls upon him. In "Lord of the Worms," a simple secretarial job lands Crow on a sacrificial altar. And in "Name and Number," Henri Laurent de Marigny details a battle between Titus Crow and malevolent, occult winds that can rip living flesh from bone. David Hero and Eldin the Wanderer: once men of the waking world, now agents for King Kuranes of the Dreamlands. Sips of "The Weird Wines of Naxas Niss" send the pair on a tumultuous journey from a buxom beauty's bed to the depths of a wizard's dungeon. Then, seeking his missing friend, David Hero boards an ill-fated airship that is home to "The Stealer of Dreams." Harry Keogh, Necroscope: vampire killer without peer, capable of conversing with the dead. A sudden windfall brings Harry to Las Vegas, where he meets "Dead Eddy," a gambler who can't resist the temptation of one last big win-from beyond the grave!

Harry's undying love for his mother leads him down a dangerous path in the brief "Resurrection." Four of Lumley's greatest heroes. Three of his most popular worlds. Tales to chill and to delight. Open the book and be swept away.

Top 5 Museums of the Weird

A lot of people think museums are boring. They're filled with all that old stuff and if you want to know what something is, then you have to read. Boring! So for those looking for an alternative to the same old "history lesson in a building" that comes from most traditional museum visits, I offer these five fun, weird and wacky museums.

1. The Museum of Bad Art - Located in Dedham Square just outside of Boston, this is a shrine to all things hackneyed and misguided in the world of art. Stressing that its not about incompetence, the museum's website notes that their collection is "from the work of talented artists that have gone awry to works of exuberant, although crude, execution by artists barely in control of the brush." MOBA is worth the trip.

2. The International UFO Museum and Research Center - Dangerously close to mainstream, this exploration of UFO sightings and cover-ups in Roswell, New Mexico is the premier UFO museum on the planet. It is quite likely that the visitors to this museum are a greater oddity than the exhibits themselves.

3. The Corn Palace - Art, History and Corn merge in this South Dakota tribute to all things "corn." The Corn Palace is covered with murals made from corn that change each year. Learn how corn grows and enjoy a free guided tour explaining the process that goes into creating these one-of-a-kind corn murals.

4. Burlingame Museum of Pez Memorabilia - Yep. A Pez Museum. See the Guinness World Record Holding - Snowman Pez dispenser, largest in the world at nearly 8 feet tall. A must for those with a Pez obsession.

5. The Historical Torture Museum - On exhibit in San Francisco, this museum explores the various instruments of torture used throughout man's existence. Learn more than you'd ever want to know about the Iron Maiden, the garotte, Inquisitonal Chairs, Heretic Forks and Branks.

Honorable Mention: The National Museum of Health and Medicine - I sense a cover-up here. The name sounds incredibly boring and the website trie to fool you with this dry description...The Museum houses a collection of over 24 million items including archival materials, anatomical and pathological specimens, medical instruments and artifacts, and microscope slide-based medical research collections.

What they should be saying is...See deformed fetuses, birth defects, chunks of Abraham Lincoln's skull and more morbid anatomical oddities. That's what's really in this museum.

Interested in a museum artifact that's a little off the beaten path?  Looking for a canopic jar or mummification wall art? Check out the unique collection of statues, wall art and collectible figurines at Your Museum Store.
