Gotta hand it to those California girls

They've pulled one out of a chimney in North Hollywood.
It wasn't immediately known how or why she got stuck.
And we are not, no way, about to guess.

Meanwhile and elsewhere, an Italian sexologist (heh) finds "reality" trumps sex, at least half the time. Said sexologist, one Serenella Salomoni, made the discovery while studying the effects of TV sets in bedrooms.
The study found certain programmes are far more likely to impede passion than others. Violent films will put a stop to sexual relations for half of all couples, while reality shows stem passion for a third of couples.
Speaking of TV and bedrooms (you knew this was coming, didn't you?) - and reality - back in the early 60s when portable video equipment was still a new (and not really very portable) thing, a colleague and friend took the rig we had at work home for the weekend to, you know, play with. Said play involved some feats of athleticism performed by himself and his wife in bed - yes! in New Jersey! can you believe? - which they proceeded to re-live by clipping the recorder output leads to the antenna terminals on their TV. Forgetting, in their anticipation, that the TV set was connected to a master antenna that served the entire apartment building. Which contributed, my friend later told me, to some fairly amusing elevator rides for a while thereafter.

I wonder what Serenella Salomoni would have said about that.
