1. A "Companion Pet" robotic cat

o Who doesn't love cats? Hasbro created a robot that they claim feels and behaves like a real feline. They are created for people who are lonely, but also they are probably good for cat-lovers who aren't allowed pets in their accommodation. The robots cost $99.99 (£66.26).READ MORE-http://www.telegraph.co.uk/topics/christmas/christmas-gift-ideas/12016612/15-weird-and-quirky-Christmas-gift-ideas.html

Weird workouts: chessboxing is more than just mind games

I arrive at my London Chessboxing class wondering if this could be the first sport I'm actually good at. As I have the physical stature of a breadstick, I'm a little nervous. But then, I was once the captain of my local chess club. When I was 11.

Fortunately, training classes are far from intimidating and there were newbies among the attendees. Recreating the rhythm of a real bout, bursts of bag-punching and exercises are interspersed with five-minute rounds of chess.

For someone as unfit as me, the challenge of thinking tactically while not vomiting up my lungs is a novel one, and a series of panicky blunders quickly sees me checkmated. So much for my primary school chess prowess.

But throughout, coach Tim Woolgar provides encouraging tips and instruction. He even compliments me on my right hook, which is by far the manliest thing anyone has ever said about me.

Watch the next match at York Hall, Bethnal Green, on Nov 28, from £21.50. Find out more at londonchessboxing.com.

Man in Germany says he's the COUSIN of Adolf Hitler

In a bizarre claim, Romano Lukas Hitler is claiming to be the only man alive who is directly related to the German responsible for the world's great atrocity. Romano, 65, has his name on his passport, his German ID card, his bank account and his rental contract for his home in the eastern town of Görlitz. "Adolf Hitler's father Alois had a younger brother. His grandson was my father", said Mr Hitler to German website, MOPO24. He claims his parents fled communist East Germany and died in Bratislava in Slovakia. He also claims he was handed over to a monastery and was then adopted by a Polish family. He later returned to Germany as an adult to train as a ship's helmsman.READ MORE-http://www.express.co.uk/news/weird/617536/Germany-Adolf-Hitler-cousin

Josh Ostrovsky: ‘The internet is like a giant weird orgy’

The internet sensation and now memoirist Josh Ostrovsky, aka the Fat Jew, is 15 minutes late to meet me, which is annoying because he’s actually chatting with a friend right outside this coffee shop window. He’s wearing a hoodie, novelty sunglasses and a gold necklace that reads “Life” in Hebrew. He’s a big man with a shaggy afro which, when he spends time on it, can be manipulated into a kind of unicorn’s horn. Today it’s not a horn. People recognise him. Passersby look impressed. We’re in an area of Brooklyn called Dumbo, and I’m sitting inside the cafe with two of his publicists, who insist on being present throughout the interview. It is all weirdly corporate, given that Ostrovsky’s an Instagram comedian; but last March, Time magazine named him one of the “30 most influential people on the internet”. Sign up to our Bookmarks newsletter Read more He started out as an entertainment reporter and a member of the rap group Team Facelift, but since 2013 Ostrovsky has become increasingly famous for his vastly successful memes and viral videos. On Instagram, as @thefatjewish, he has 6.4 million followers. Fans include Miley Cyrus, Katy Perry, Kanye West and millions of teenagers. Consequently, as Time explained, “brands have started to pay him for exposure to that audience”; these brands include Stella Artois, Burger King, Apple and Budweiser. Some of his videos are perceptive and funny: for example,READ MORE-http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2015/nov/07/josh-ostrovsky-fat-jew-jon-ronson-instagram
