An Italian priest is fed up of nuns being thought of as old and plain - so he is organising a modelling competition to prove many of them are actually good looking.

The reverend is hoping for dozens of applications


Entrants will be allowed to choose whether or not to whip off their traditional veil for the photo shoot.

But organiser Reverend Rungi stressed there will be no bathing suits.

"We are not going to parade nuns in bathing suits. But being ugly is not a requirement for becoming a nun.

"External beauty is gift from God, and we mustn't hide it," he said.

The Miss Sister 2008 contest will start in September on a blog run by Rev Rungi and will give nuns from around the world a chance to showcase their work and their image.

But just as the similar competition Miss World now encourages contestants to have an impressive CV as well as good looks, the nuns will have to fill out a profile including information about their life and vocation to accompany their photograph.

Visitors to the Rev's site will have a month to "vote for the nun they consider a model".

"Nuns are a bit excluded, they are a bit marginalised in ecclesiastical life," Rev Rungi said. "This will be an occasion to make their contribution more visible."

The contest has already been criticised by the association of Catholic teachers.

"It's an initiative that belittles the role of nuns who have dedicated themselves to God," the group's president Alberto Giannino said.

Duck hunters call sex line by mistake
Friday, September 5, 2008
Ducks are hoping hunters will get distracted by the sex-line Americans calling a telephone number to order duck hunting permits are being greeted by a phone-sex line due to a printing error.

The carrier card for the duck permit transposes two numbers, so instead of listing 1-800-782-6724, it lists 1-800-872-6724. The first number spells out 1-800-STAMP24, the second 1-800-TRAMP24.

People calling that second number are welcomed by 'Intimate Connections' and enticed by a husky female voice to 'talk only to the girls that turn you on,' for $1.99 a minute
