Adrianne Curry, 'America's Next Top Model', Thrown Out Of Comic Con; Outfit Too Sexy (PHOTO)

This year, Comic Con is full of surprises. But that doesn't mean that there aren't limits.

Former 'American's Next Top Model' winner Adrianne Curry, apparently took things a little too far with her super sexy getup. Cops stopped the 'Playboy' cover girl as she tried to enter the festival for a signing. Despite her mind-blowing looks (and her barely-there costume), security insisted her outfit was too revealing. Well, the law is the law. She was asked to leave as soon as her signing was over.

Later Curry tweeted a geeked-out response to the incident that most certainly had Sci-Fi boys swooning, “Apparently the San Diego police are unfamiliar with a screen accurate version of Aeon Flux.”

You tell 'em!

A little Austrian town you will not soon forget

Zo, Kommandant Schmidtberger does not see the Fucking Joke! And there isn't any Fucking postcards.

Pete

SCROLL DOWN!!!

The newspaper article below Is even funnier than the sign!

Are the residents called Fuckers?

And what about the Fucking neighborhood?

What would you be learning at the Fucking High School ?

Where is the Fucking Post Office?

Does the Fucking Hospital help you with anything else?

And the Fucking drivers!

If your friend came from another town, he wouldn't be your Fucking friend.

Is fishing allowed in the Fucking Lake ?

We had a wonderful time at Fucking.

We stayed in a Fucking chalet!

Fucking needs government funding.

Does anyone care about Fucking?

I didn't believe this was true .. So did an Internet search. It's TRUE!!! Here are more pictures and info ....

Now, this one is really good! The sign says 'Bitte! Nicht so schnell', which in English translates to 'Please! Not so fast!

Pronounced 'fooking'. The little hamlet of Fucking is named after the man who founded the village in the 6th century. His name? Focko. NOW YOU CAN FORWARD THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS WHO KNOW NOTHING ABOUT THIS FUCKING TOWN.

Image of the Day: "Hoag's Object" --A Mysterious Ring Galaxy

Image of the Day: "Hoag's Object" --A Mysterious Ring Galaxy

The mystery is: Is this one galaxy or two? This question came to light in 1950 when astronomer Art Hoag discovered this odd extragalactic object. On the outside is a ring dominated by bright blue stars, while near the center lies a ball of much redder stars that are likely much older. Between the two is a gap that appears almost completely dark. How the object formed remains unknown. Possibilities include a galaxy collision billions of years ago and the gravitational affect of a central bar that has since vanished. Hoag's Object spans about 100,000 light years and lies about 600 million light years away toward the constellation of the Snake (Serpens). Coincidentally, visible in the gap (at about one o'clock) is yet another ring galaxy that likely lies far in the distance. Fascinating!

How Hoag's Object formed remains unknown, although similar objects have been identified and collectively labeled as a form of ring galaxy. Genesis hypotheses include a galaxy collision billions of years ago and the gravitational effect of a central bar that has since vanished.
