Dancing Like No One’s Watching – Irish contestant Happiness first audition. She got 3 stars and got through to the next round. Song is Scatman by Scatman John.

Dominik was a woman, Andrea was a man, and now after switching their genders they are a couple watching the son Dominik gave birth to, turn into a woman. Fifteen years ago, Ilona Tomeckova, a woman living in eastern Czech Republic, left her husband and young son to move to Prague and become Dominik Sejda, a man.

After becoming a man, Dominik found it hard to find a partner for years, but two years ago he met Andrea Kajzarova, another transsexual who, before a sex change, was a man named Tomas Kajzar, a bodybuilder. “She had a man’s genitals when we met, but she had a neutral name and looked rather like a woman,” Dominik said, adding he knew about three similar couples in the Czech Republic.

“Dominik has such personal charm that I told myself after about four months: yes, this is the guy I want to spend my life with,” said the tall and still powerfully-built Andrea. After meeting Andrea, Dominik decided to resume contacts with his former family, only to learn in awe that his son Radim was in the process of turning into a girl named Viktoria.

“I found a sexologist in May, she sent me to different checks, including genetics. My diagnosis was always ‘transsexual’,” said Radim, whose biological mother Dominik now insists on calling her son “Viki.” “We saw each other in May when we celebrated our birthdays together. The guys there made quite a few passes at her, so she looks good,” Dominik said.

Cyberpresse researcher Jean-Christophe Laurence showed a group of modern-day schoolchildren from Quebec various gadgets from the ’80s and ’90s and asked them to guess what they were for. They’re often able to figure out eventually that it’s an older form of a tech that they currently know, but Laurence gets some great, creative responses along the way.

Of a floppy disk: “this goes into an iPod.” Of a ColecoVision game: “a deck of cards.” Of an 8-track player: “Oh! I thought it was a bomb!”

A cross-border kerfuffle over a popular chocolate treat nearly cost a Winnipeg woman a $300 fine and saddled her with a bureaucratic headache.

Lind Bird was recently stopped at the U.S. border and selected for a random search of her vehicle. She was warned she could have faced a fine after the customs official found — and seized — her $2 Kinder Surprise egg as illegal contraband.

In Canada, however, officials said the eggs are so difficult to get into there’s little chance they could harm anyone. As such, they are legal.
