TOO much of a good thing caused this man to see red, literally.
In efforts to leave a lasting impression, a 32 year-old New York man used much higher doses of a liquid form of sildenafil than recommended, causing irreversible damage to colour-sensitive cones in his retina.
The result was as if he was seeing everything through rose-coloured glasses - but seriously, it wasn't a good thing.
The permanent damage was consistent with manufacturer side-effect warnings: impaired vision, headaches and low blood pressure.
The opening of a new "cat cafe" in New Zealand proved things can pretty easily go to the dogs - after some emergency puppies had to be brought in instead.
The facility at the New Plymouth Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has a visiting room where guests can play with pussies after making a donation.
"Not only is it nice to pet cats, it's actually proven that stroking a cat is stress-reducing and lowers your blood pressure and lowers your heart rate and physically calms you down," said manager Jackie Poles-Smith.
However on opening day there were no suitable felines available, so instead some adorable eight-day puppies were brought in - hopefully with the same effect.
