A man put out a fire on the world's longest pleasure pier by urinating on it.  Thomas Watson noticed a small fire on the deserted Southend Pier and took matters into his own hands by relieving himself over the flames.  The council thanked him for his "quick-thinking tinkling" but said it was confident its own sprinkler system would have worked, as The Sun reported.  Mr Watson, 22, from Houghton Regis in Bedfordshire, was visiting the 1.3 mile (2.1km) pier with his partner and daughter on Friday at about 19:30 BST, when he noticed smoke and small flames on the wooden planks.  A Southend Borough Council spokesman said:  the family could come back and visit the pier for free, but added: "[We] kindly ask that he keeps his trousers firmly secured on this occasion."

Article 68 of the new draft constitution, which must be submitted to the Cuban people for consultation before a final version is approved by the National Assembly, defines marriage as “the consensual union between two people, regardless of gender.” The 1976 constitution, which is currently in effect, defines marriage as a “voluntary union between a man and woman” with the goal of building a life in common with equal rights and duties for both spouses. On Sunday afternoon, the National Assembly approved a draft of the constitution that included the gay-marriage provision. It will be submitted for popular consultation from Aug. 13 to Nov. 15.

9)  FOR THOSE WHO WONDER WHAT IT'S LIKE TO REMOVE A TATTOO:
A 12 VISIT PROCEDURE TO REMOVE TATTOOS - Here’s what really happens when you get a tattoo removed. The treatment is done as an outpatient procedure and generally involves a pigment-removal laser, such as one called PiQo4™. The treatment can be uncomfortable; however, many clinics now provide options for topical anesthesia as a means of minimizing the pain. It's more complex in darker skinned people and there are a lot more quirks.
