An iPhone app that rates the ugliness of a face is catapulting up the charts following a radio mention – even though bullying experts are sounding the alarm.

Ugly Meter works by taking a picture of your face, and then scanning it for certain facial features. A green bar glides across the face, drawing polymetric shapes surrounding a person’s facial structure.

The app then produces a score out of ten on the “Ugly Meter.” And with this app, you’ll want to score like you do with golf: the lower the score, the better.

A 10-year-old boy is lucky to be alive after his love for video games nearly turned deadly in Italy.

The boy was walking along a subway platform and was so absorbed by his Play Station Portable that he didn't see where he was going - and fell off the platform and onto the tracks below.

Couples can spend days going through books trying to find the perfect name for their bundle of joy, only to spend hours debating their choices and settling on a name that works. One new mom, however, will have no say in the name of her baby.
