The striking image taken by photographer Rich Lam has been splashed around the world over the past two days and on June 17, the couple was identified. Lying in the middle of a downtown street in Vancouver was Canadian Alex Thomas and her Australian boyfriend Scott Jones, seen cradling her in his arms and brushing his lips against hers. Scott was comforting her and gave her a kiss to say, 'It's going to be OK,' and the photographer just took the shot at that moment.<br /><br /><br /></span> <div style="width:10px;float:left;"> </div> <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="Say No to pull up pants!" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/8903130.cms" title="Say No to pull up pants!" width="340" /></div> <h3>Say No to pull up pants!<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>It has emerged that a passenger was deboarded from the plane at San Francisco International Airport and arrested after he refused to pull up his baggy pants. Deshon Marman, 20, was asked to pull up his sagging pants before boarding a US Airways flight to Albuquerque. Marman's pants were reportedly below his waist, exposing much of his boxer shorts. An airline employee asked Marman to pull up his pants at the boarding gate, and the request was repeated aboard the plane, but he refused. At that point he was asked to leave the plane.</span><br /><br /><div style="width:10px;float:left;"> </div> <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="Cat survives 14-storey-fall" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/8903125.cms" title="Cat survives 14-storey-fall" width="340" /></div> <h3>Cat survives 14-storey-fall<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>A cat has incredibly survived the severe consequences of slipping from the 14th floor of her owners’ New York City apartment building. Angela Lang and her family, who moved into the Upper West Side apartment last month, never thought that nine-year-old Copper would be able to slip out of the building through the windows, which hardly opened very wide. But the pet somehow managed to slip out onto a ledge only to fall 14 stories to the street below. When admitted to a local veterinary hospital, the cat not only had survived the ultimate after-effect but also managed to limp away with only a fractured foot.</span><br /><br /><div style="width:10px;float:left;"> </div> <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="Boys vomit to lose weight" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/8903124.cms" title="Boys vomit to lose weight" width="340" /></div> <h3>Boys vomit to lose weight<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>A study of nearly 16,000 schoolchildren has shown that children as young as 10 are making themselves vomit in order to lose weight and the problem is more common in boys than girls. The study of 120 schools, carried out for Taiwan''s Ministry of Education, also found that 16% of the boys made themselves sick, compared with 10% of the girls. The findings also suggest that self-induced vomiting might serve as an early marker for the development of obesity and/or other eating and weight-related problems</span><br /><br /><div class="innerbox"> <div style="width:10px;float:left;"> </div> <div class="storybox"> <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="Teabag & poached egg" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/8903122.cms" title="Teabag & poached egg" width="340" /></div> <div class="strytext"> <h3>Teabag & poached egg<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>It has always been difficult to make a perfect poached egg, but now, the invention of a pouch that is like a teabag, has made it possible. The Poachet, which is made from a semi-permeable papery fabric and allows contact with water, is very different from other poaching devices, which are made from synthetic materials. It works in a similar way to a teabag, and holds the egg in the perfect shape while it cooks. All one has to do is open the Poachet and place it in a small glass, with the open end up, then crack an egg into it, before placing the bag in boiling water.<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.indiatimes.com/picture-stories/wild-wacky/Riot-kiss-goes-viral/photostory/8903133.cms">http://www.indiatimes.com/</a><br /></span></div></div></div><br /></div></div></div> <!-- Below is the AtContent repost button code.

History of kissing

<div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="Not all smooches are romantic" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/7305649.cms" title="Not all smooches are romantic" width="340" /></div> <h3>Not all smooches are romantic<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>Want to know what a kiss reveals? A new book, 'Kisstory' tells the history of kissing and reveals that not all smooches are romantic. For instance, in Naples in 1562 kissing publicly was punishable by death. The word "kiss" comes from the Germanic word kussjan, probably because of the sounds it makes.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span> <div style="width: 10px; float: left;"> </div> <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="336 hours of kissing in a lifetime" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/7305643.cms" title="336 hours of kissing in a lifetime" width="340" /></div> <h3>336 hours of kissing in a lifetime<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>In a lifetime, the average person spends around 336 hours kissing – equivalent to a fortnight-long snug, reports the Sun. What we term a French kiss is known as an English kiss in India. As kisses weren't shown in Indian cinema for many years, the first open-mouthed smooch they saw was in a little-known English-language film in 1926. </span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div class="innerbox"> <div style="width: 10px; float: left;"> </div> <div class="storybox"> <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="First all-male kiss" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/7305642.cms" title="First all-male kiss" width="340" /></div> <div class="strytext"> <h3>First all-male kiss<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>Meanwhile the French describe tongue-kissing as "rouler une pelle" - "to roll a shovel" – or "rouler un patin" – "to skate". The 2005 film Brokeback Mountain drew a lot of attention for depicting a sexual relationship between men, but the first all-male kiss in a film came almost 80 years earlier, in the 1927 movie Wings.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span> <div class="innerbox"> <div style="width: 10px; float: left;"> </div> <div class="storybox"> <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="Longest-ever kiss" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/7305639.cms" title="Longest-ever kiss" width="340" /></div> <div class="strytext"> <h3>Longest-ever kiss<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>However, the first openly gay big-screen kiss came even earlier – as the 1922 movie Manslaughter included two lesbians snogging. The most kisses seen in a film was 191 – Don Juan, in 1926 – while the longest-ever kiss lasted a breathtaking (and strength-sapping) 31 hours and 30 minutes.</span></div></div></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="width: 10px; float: left;"> </div> <div class="stryimg"><img align="left" alt="Wolfram kissed 8,001 people in 8 hours" border="0" height="308" src="http://www.indiatimes.com/photo/7305637.cms" title="Wolfram kissed 8,001 people in 8 hours" width="340" /></div> <h3>Wolfram kissed 8,001 people in 8 hours<span class="stryimgsep"></span></h3><span>In 1990, Alfred Wolfram kissed 8,001 people in eight hours during a festival in Minnesota – an average of 16 people per minute. But kissers should beware as a single snog can contain up to 278 types of bacteria, some of which may carry diseases, while a passionate peck can raise hormone levels enough to shorten your life by a full minute.</span><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><a href="http://www.indiatimes.com/picture-stories/history-of-kissing/Not-all-smooches-are-romantic/photostory/7305649.cms">http://www.indiatimes.com/</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div></div></div> <!-- Below is the AtContent repost button code.
