Grumpy Cat's book signing!

Looking as grumpy as ever she sat on a brown velvet cushion , and frowned at the cameras as children queued up to have their photo taken with her. She's an internet sensation and a worldwide celebrity and she was at the Grove in Los Angeles, greeting hoards of her fans who had come to get her signature on her book.

Now every one including you might be wondering who this popular author is. It is a two-year old cat whose real name is Tardar Sauce. This feline with a grumpy-looking face became an online legend after her owner's brother uploaded a picture on a user-generated news site called Reddit where the image was incredibly upvoted more than 25,300 times within 48 hours.

According to her owner Tabatha Bundesen her permanently grumpy-looking face is due to feline dwarfism. Her image with some grumpy captions had over 1.1 million likes on the Facebook. She was also featured on the front page of the Wall Street Journal.

Tabatha says that the misunderstood feline is less miserable than she looks and adds that it's just the way her face is. Speaking about Tard's feature "when she was born she looked unique as did her brother, at birth with a flat face, bubble eyes and a short tail".

Ben Lashes is Grumpy Cat's manager who also represents Keyboard Cat and Nyan Cat. Tabatha took a leave of absence from her day job at Red Lobster to manage Grumpy Cat's schedule and Bryan manages her website, Facebook, YouTube and Twitter. According to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office database, "Grumpy Cat Inc. Corp. Ohio" applied to trademark "Grumpy Cat" and an image of her at the end of January 2013.

Super feat by Superman fan

A man was running away from a food shop in Sheffield, UK and some men were chasing after him shouting "Thief! Thief!"

At that moment all onlookers must have wished the real Superman or The Man of Steel appear from nowhere and catch this thief. Instead of Superman, a fan of the superman who had been wearing the 500 pound super costume for a community action group event spotted the 'trouble' Luke Junior, 24, ran after the thief and grabbed him and pinned him down until the police arrived.

As the thief was taken away in cuffs, a nearby shop DJ completed the hard-to-believe scene by playing the Superman theme music and shoppers broke into a round of applause.

Junior said: 'The last thing you want to do is run straight into Superman. He was going nowhere but the police station.'

Witness Daniel Mottram said: 'Our friend in the superhero suit pinned the man up against the wall and held him while the police came. He was fantastic. If we had more like him we wouldn't have any trouble at all.' The shoplifter has admitted theft and is due to re-appear at the Sheffield magistrates court later this month. Junior, a security guard, said: 'When I was younger I always said I wanted to be some sort of Superman and the things I'm doing at the moment, it's like I already am.' Junior was nicknamed Superman after once pulling two teenagers from their mangled car following a crash.

Now, like a true superhero, he has his sights set on being a firefighter.

'I want to save people,' he said.

How to sell a car

A British man with sense of humour had placed the following advertisement in the eBay to sell his Mercedes e320 CDI. The photos used in the ad are one with his full-figured wife draped over the bonnet and in the other photo, to demonstrate the space of the boot of the car he had used his son inside it.

The tongue in the cheek ad from the eBay user camibanks starts: "If you are looking for an immaculate, well maintained example of a Mercedes e320 CDI ... you have come to the wrong place ..." Since the ad was posted on June 11, it's attracted 47 bids (at time of writing) and the price has soared to Pound152,000 ($A251,000).

The ad continues: "If however, you are low on self esteem, with a strapped budget, but shooting for the stars, welcome to my auction.

May I present to you, one of the finest feats in Germanic engineering politely modelled by my 'more to love' missus.

"As you can see from the photos this car has seen things ... things it cannot forget. I have owned this car for 3 years, and up to then it had been lovingly cared for and maintained. Since owning the vehicle, it has been thrashed, raced, rallied, and the interior has been smashed up in a domestic, not to mention the time my wife booted the wing because I suggested she eat a salad or two. It continues ...

"The good bits. Boot is big enough for 2 small or 1 big person (see pictures). "This car is well admired and often stopped by members of her majesty's police, who give out FREE advice concerning your drinking habits and whether or not your tyres need replaced.

"The stereo system is suited to playing Russian Techno, Polish house, Bulgarian dubsteb, Romanian hard house, and Turkish trance at full volume, while not detracting from the over glamour of the avian fecal mattered roof and rusty panels. Seriously now gentlemen. Ladies flock to this car.
