HOW about this for a retailing brainwave - a shopping mall in China has opened a series of 'husband pods' for ladies to leave their men inside while they shop.
The glass pods at Shanghai's Global Harbour mall offer a chair, computer, gamepad and monitor, allowing the inhabitants to play "retro 1990s video games".
Currently the service is free, but future plans will see a small charge applied, the mall said.
One early adopter said he enjoyed using the pods.
"I've just played Tekken 3 and felt like I was back at school," he said - while his wife made the most of the opportunity to run up an expensive credit card bill.
Surgeons in the UK have found a whopping 27 contact lenses stuck in a woman's eye.
The 67-year-old was being prepared for an operation to remove a "blueish mass" which the doctors initially attributed to dry eye and old age.
The British Medical Journal reported on the case, with one of the ophthalmologists saying initially 17 lenses were found clumped together, but on further examination there were another 10 also lodged in the eye.
The patient said she had been wearing disposable contacts for about 35 years, but did not regularly see the eye doctor.
She also said she wasn't aware of losing any lenses during that time, but the doctor added: "when she was seen two weeks after I removed the lenses she said her eyes felt a lot more comfortable".
