In International news....

The double-amputee sprinter Oscar Pistorius today won his appeal to compete for a spot in this year's Beijing Olympics. The decision, taken by the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS), overturns a ban on Pistorius competing against able-bodied athletes, and thus allows him to run in all International Association of Athletics Federation (IAAF) sanctioned events.

The IAAF had ruled in January that the 21-year-old Pistorius could not compete with able-bodied athletes because the carbon-fibre blades attached to both legs gave him an advantage. However, after a two-day meeting of CAS, world sports highest tribunal, disagreed.

"I am thrilled with the panel's findings and hope that it silences many of the crazy theories that have been circulating in recent months about my having an unfair advantage," said Pistorius. "My focus throughout this appeal has been to ensure that disabled athletes be given the chance to compete and compete fairly with able-bodied athletes. I look forward to continuing my quest to qualify for the Olympics."

I hope he makes the team. (Thanks Guardian Online)

I love cereal - rarely start my day without a bowl. If I was to be stranded on a island with only 1 food option, I'd choose cereal. As long as it's not any one of these 5.

Now here's a guy with it all: the moves, the girth and the Speedo. (PS - The girl in the freeze frame is just a misdirect.)

These ladies have a very creative way to show their love for Mickey Mouse. Would Disney ever let them in to the parks though?

Got to love the stagging guy and the bondage dude.

Thanks to everyone who commented on our weekend competition. A couple of standouts...

Ron's "And you thought a lump of coal was the worst you could get in a stocking!"

Harry's "Dear Jeff, I am sorry to inform you that you did NOT pass your practical examination and therefore will not be graduating from Santa Clause school."

E's "Gallagher will do ANYTHING for a laugh." And "GG Allen's Christmas Spectacular."

However the winner is..."Here in Yugoslavia we celebrate Christmas a little differently." Way to go 'G'. You'll soon be the proud owner of a free YBNBY tee.

Today for lunch, underwater beauty.

If you had to go which one would you rather go to?

Something funny for your Monday night from the folks at FunnyOrDie

Sia feels some pain for her music and has some fun distorting her face with all sorts of objects in this video for "Buttons." Those clothes pins must have hurt.

Here's a new definition of "Catch your dinner." Insert quarter, claw one live lobster. The video above is from a restaurant in Maine. But in Osaka, Japan they have a Sub Marine Catcher.

Why is that that comedians make more sense and can cut through the BS better than all the pundits?

...and why are all those people dressed like Santa down there?
