True love can take many forms. In this case, it has taken the form of a Korean man falling in love with, and eventually marrying, a large pillow with a picture of a woman on it.
[img]/img]
Lee Jin-gyu fell for his 'dakimakura' - a kind of large, huggable pillow from Japan, often with a picture of a popular anime character printed on the side.
In Lee's case, his beloved pillow has an image of Fate Testarossa, from the 'magical girl' anime series Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha.
Now the 28-year-old otaku (a Japanese term that roughly translates to somewhere between 'obsessive' and 'nerd') has wed the pillow in a special ceremony, after fitting it out with a wedding dress for the service in front of a local priest. Their nuptials were eagerly chronicled by the local media.
'He is completely obsessed with this pillow and takes it everywhere,' said one friend.
'They go out to the park or the funfair where it will go on all the rides with him. Then when he goes out to eat he takes it with him and it gets its own seat and its own meal,' they added.
The pillow marriage is not the first similarly-themed unusual marriage in recent times - it comes after a Japanese otaku married his virtual girlfriend Nene Anegasaki, a character who only exists in the Nintendo DS game

Sky News Online
Walking sticks often symbolise frailty, but a martial art for pensioners using sticks as self-defence is spreading across East Anglia.
Triple blackbelt Kevin Garwood, 61, from Gorleston, Norwich, began teaching the pensioner cane classes after many told him they were afraid to go out after dark.
His students, aged 50 to 76, all use an NHS walking stick and list strokes, severe diabetes, heart attacks, triple bypasses and arthritis among their medical complaints.
Speaking to Five News' Simon Vigar, Mr Garwood said mastering stylish stick-work is harder than it looks.
"People need to understand that if they want to protect themselves, they need to know how to do it properly," he said.
"They need to know where they can hit without causing serious damage."
The two-hour weekly classes, first launched two-years ago, have become so popular that Mr Garwood is planning to set up sessions across Norfolk.

The regulation of hypnotherapists in the UK is so lax that even a cat can become accredited, the 大象传媒 has found.
Chris Jackson, presenter of Inside Out in the North East and Cumbria, registered pet George with three industry bodies.
Each one accepted a certificate from the non-existent Society of Certified Advanced Mind Therapists as proof of George鈥檚 credentials.
It follows a similar investigation by an American clinical psychologist.
Dr Steve Eichel suspected industry bodies in the US were not running checks on their members.
He said: 鈥淚 felt I鈥檇 test my hypothesis and I did that by getting my cat certified by a number of the most prominent lay hypnosis organisations in the United States. It was a frighteningly simple process.鈥
In the UK, George was registered with the British Board of Neuro Linguistic Programming (BBNLP), the United Fellowship of Hypnotherapists (UFH) and the Professional Hypnotherapy Practitioner Association (PHPA).
The UFH welcomed the Inside Out investigation and admitted the mistake, which it said has since been corrected.
A PHPA spokesman said the organisation makes great effort to ensure every applicant is a fully-qualified hypnotherapist.
The BBNLP said it exists only to provide benefits to its members, not to check or certify credentials.

When Toby Elles fell asleep while cooking a late-night snack, it really was a case of divine intervention that saved his bacon.
The 22-year-old was 'miraculously' woken after an hour as his lounge filled with smoke 鈥 and quickly had the revelation that he had left a frying pan on a hob.
While saying his prayers, the bank worker scraped the remains of crispy bacon rashers from the pan, but could not believe the vision that appeared before him - Jesus Christ staring back at him.

Harry Potter: 'invisibility cloak' prototype created by scientists
A prototype "invisibility cloak", similar to those worn by fictional wizard Harry Potter, has been developed by European scientists.
British and German researchers have created the three-dimensional that can hide objects by bending light waves, which could pave the way for larger objects to be made invisible.
While the cloak of invisibility has played a major role in fiction and movies, it appears that scientists have taken a small, but important new step, toward making it reality.
In their study, researchers from the German Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and Imperial College London used the cloak, made using photonic crystals with a structure resembling piles of wood, to conceal a small bump on a gold surface.
In their study, published Thursday in the American journal Science, they rendered almost entirely invisible the bump that measured 0.00004 inches high by 0.00005 inches across, by "cloaking" it in a new material.
Invisibility cloaks have already been developed but they only worked on two dimensions.
In other words, the objects that were supposed to be made invisible were immediately visible from the third dimension, the study said.
The "cloak" invented by the European team is the first to work on three dimensions.
composed of special lenses that bend light waves to suppress light as it scattered from the tiny bump the researchers were trying to make disappear, the study says.
"For now these ... cloaking devices are just a beautiful and exciting benchmark to show what transformation optics can do," said Tolga Ergin, who led the research.
鈥淭his is very exciting, because mankind has always thought about being invisible or having invisibility cloaks.
"This is the first proof of principle. It shows that the technique works.
He added: "The value of the finding is that we learn more about the concepts of transformation optics, and that we have made a first step in producing 3-D structures in that field.鈥
He cautioned that it likely be years before anything as large as a person, car or tank could be made to disappear with this technique.
"There have been proposals in the field of transformation optics for different devices like beam concentrators, beam shifters, super antennas which concentrate light into one point from all directions, and much, much more," he said.
"It is really hard to say what the future will bring, but the field is definitely very broad and the possibilities are very large."

A barn owl that rides a skateboard has become a hit at its local shopping centre.

But contrary to expectation Alby is no night rider - instead he displays his wheely good skills in front of stunned shoppers in Folkestone, Kent.
Brian Maxted, 73, who runs Folkestone Owl Sanctuary, said he discovered Alby's unusual talent during a trip to the local shopping centre.
He said: "I often take some owls into town to try and get some donations from shoppers.
"I had the owls out one day last week and a young lad stopped to look at them.
"He put down his skateboard and Alby, who'd been fast asleep, saw it and jumped on.
"Someone pulled it along the ground and he loved it so much, we had to get him one of his own."
Alby, who is 13, has now developed his technique, which involves him swooping onto the board, using the momentum from his flight to push him along
When the board comes to a stop, Alby takes off and flies in a small circle before re-landing on the board, pushing it along again.
Student Paul Lendon, 17, from Folkestone said: "I was stunned when I saw him riding along on his miniature board.
"I'm aware of the famous skateboarder Tony Hawk, but I've never before heard of Tony Owl."

If you have overwhelming fear of public bathrooms, you have more than a wee problem. You may have paruresis.
"Shy-bladder syndrome," as it is better known, affects an estimated 17 million Americans, many of whom try desperately to hold it in while they're at work, school or otherwise trying to live their lives.
Some have to leave the bathroom if they go in and see their boss inside. Others have a fear that's so severe that they have trouble leaving home.
"It took a long time to get Americans to start talking about this, but now it's become a global issue," says University of Maryland professor Steven Soifer, who opened America's first shy-bladder workshop in 1997. He went on to found the International Paruresis Association.
I take my share of jokes for what I do. There are people here at the university who aren't so thrilled with what I do," Soifer says. "It's OK. For one thing, this is important work. For another, I have tenure."
The professor of social work says the association has conducted more than 140 workshops in 40 cities and 25 states, helping more than 1,200 clients overcome their fears of public restrooms.
This weekend, he will be in Moscow, where he will bring his counseling to Russia. "I will be essentially doing the same sort of program I do in the United States," he says. "They already have formed an association to create awareness. Now they have to deal with the problem on a workshop level."

CUSTOMERS fled from a branch of KFC after a squirrel started a fire that gutted the restaurant.
A family of squirrels had been living in the roof space of the building and staff believe one of the rodents sparked the blaze by gnawing through an electric cable.
More than 30 diners had to be evacuated after fire broke out in the roof space of the restaurant.
Fire crews took several hours to bring the blaze under control and police closed roads around the scene.
A worker at the KFC in Broadstairs, Kent, said: "The squirrels have been living up on the roof for a while. They seem to like it here.
"You see them most days scampering around."
Assistant manager Chandiran Sandanan added: "The only thing that could have caused the fire really was the electrical box in the roof space.
"It's sad to see it burning down - I've worked here for six years and it's very successful. I hope they rebuild it."

"At midnight, the final sticking point with the inmates was that they were requiring pizzas to be delivered. Our staff member was negotiated out with the delivery of 15 pizzas," Graeme Barber, Tasmania's director of prisons, told The Advocate newspaper.

Judge Vaghela immediately picked up a paperweight from his desk and threw it back at the accused, reports Midday.
Mohammed, who attacked two other judges last year in similar fashion, has been sent back to prison with an extra offence registered against him.

I was with my cousin just two weeks ago and we were sitting down stairs watching your show. After watching it we put on the music channel and a song came on by shakira. You should check it out and this is what you could sya if you decide to use it in the show.
"Shakira has finnally admitted being a gypsy in her song. She asks people to go where ever she is going with her and then she threatens to steal your clothes! Madness!" *show chorous".
This is a link to the song on 'Youtube'.
Thankyou!

Alyson Myatt, a nanny from Kentucky RAN THROUGH FIRE to save the 5-year-old boy she was babysitting. She now is struggling to pay for her health insurance to cover the cost of her burns. If you promote it, she might get more donations.
I don't even know this woman and I want to help her. Her story moved me and she is so humble.
This is the full story that I found, Tonic are already raising money for her which is epic, but more is always good I guess :)

This is hilarious. Its statements like the following that makes you wonder if Darwin had missed something out of the equation.
As you know Scottish air space was the first to be closed down quickly followed by Scandinavia, the remainder of the UK as well as most of Western Europe due to the volcanic dust cloud emanating from the Icelandic volcano. Anyway, there was an array of responses to the events which were unfolding. Some philosophical, others irate were caught on camera however this is the most amusing yet somewhat disconcerting.
When asked for his views one stranded Scots traveller remarked, 鈥淲ell, I think it鈥檚 ridiculous. I mean it鈥檚 up there.... We鈥檙e down here. It鈥檚 not at ground level.鈥 Unfortunately, I鈥檓 not sure if it was a 大象传媒 or ITN news report.
