Where is the most ugly home in America?

Sarasota, Fla., has the ugliest house in America. That's according to thousands of people who voted online at www.theugliesthouse.com in HomeVestors' 'Ugliest House of the Year' contest. The results were revealed today at the company's annual convention at the Hilton Hotel at Walt Disney World in Orlando.

The winner of the contest was a home at 1916 32nd Street in Sarasota. It was bought by HomeVestors franchisee Gregory Weinstein of Goldmine Properties, LLC.



"The filth, trash and remnants from squatters left this house totally repulsive and a menace to the community," said Weinstein. To remove all "tenants," Weinstein was forced to enlist the help of local law enforcement. He purchased the property, sold it to a real estate investor and renovations are already underway to completely renovate the home.

World's heaviest motorcycle

Monster bike is world's heaviest.

A giant motorbike powered by a Russian tank engine has been recognised as the heaviest in the world.

It's been dubbed the Led Zeppelin by creator Tilo Nieber, 39, who said: "You don't get much more heavy metal than this."

The four-and-a-half tonne machine has driven into the Guinness Book of Records as the heaviest motorbike in the world.

It is 17ft 4ins long and 7ft 6ins tall and the engine alone weighs 1.8 tonnes after the armour plating tank cover has been stripped off.

The bike, which took a team of welders and mechanics almost a year to build at the Harzer Bike Schmiede in Zilly, Germany, is now hoping for a licence to travel on the road.

But in the meantime Guinness Book of Records spokesman Amarilis Espinoza confirmed it was the world's heaviest motorbike.

Wrong beauty voted queen!!!

An accounting mix-up led to the wrong woman being crowned Miss California USA, and she has relinquished her crown to the rightful winner, organisers say.

Christina Silva, 24, was declared the winner of the annual state beauty pageant, but she gave up the title to Raquel Beezley, who was originally named the second runner-up.

Beezley, 21, will represent the state at the Miss USA pageant next April.

The pageant's state director, Keith Lewis, said several judges questioned the results of the November 25 competition at the Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles. Lewis said the error was discovered the next day after the ballots were opened and recounted.

"It was a simple human error," Lewis said.

Silva has hired a lawyer and is weighing her legal options, according to her manager, Tony Brewster.

In a news release, Silva said she felt pressured to step down.

"They never could explain their accounting error, but told me that if I didn't give up my crown to Miss Barstow, my personal integrity could be questioned, and my career could potentially suffer," she said.

The contestants were scored by five celebrity judges who independently ranked them.

The mix-up occurred when the points were reversed, with the lowest point given to the winner and the highest to the fourth runner-up, Lewis said.

Roger Neal, who represents the Miss California USA pageant, said Beezley was the rightful winner.

The pageant allowed Silva to keep her crown, sash and necklace and returned her $US1,500 ($A1,700) entry fee after the error was discovered, Neal said. Duplicates were being made for Beezley.
