The pair were fucking under a white sheet, before the police found them shagging on top of the sheet. "They were asked to stop and did so without saying a word," police chief Cesar Luiz Danuns reportedly told local press. "They were asked to put their clothes on before being taken to the station."

One of the paragliders reportedly said that the webcam had been set up a while ago. No one'e yet confirmed whether this was a Drummond puddle situation, where either person in the couple may have known where the cameras were.

Remember Michaella McCollum? The Belfast woman arrested in 2013 after trying to smuggle more than £1 million worth of coke from Peru to Spain with a friend? Well, she was released on parole on Friday and gave her first interview since her release on Sunday night.

"I potentially could have filled Europe with a lot of drugs. I could potentially have killed a lot of people, not directly, but I could have caused a lot of harm to people," she said, speaking to RTE. "I made a decision in a moment of madness."

Michaella, now 23, served just over two years of what was meant to be a six year and eight month sentence, but her Scottish accomplice Melissa Reid's still locked up. They were caught in Lima international airport in August 2013 with more coke than sense, while attempting to fly the drug back smuggled in food packages. They'd initially said they were forced into carrying the drugs, but flipped to pleading guilty to their charges.

"I am not a bad person," Michaella said on Sunday, "I want to demonstrate that I'm a good person." First order of business: helping Melissa out, surely.

Under the Silicone Skin
A GUY SPENT A YEAR AND A HALF ON THIS SCARLETT JOHANSSON ROBOT
He won't say who she looks like, but come on mate, we know what's going on here

A product designer and robotics hobbyist in Hong Kong has designed a largely 3D-printed life-size humanoid prototype modelled after Scarlett Johansson. Named Mark 1, the robot took 42-year-old Ricky Ma about a year and a half to make from scratch on his balcony.

"During this process, a lot of people would say things like, 'Are you stupid? This takes a lot of money'," Ricky told Reuters. In total he spent about £30,000 on Mark 1, putting it together with a 3D-printed skeleton, silicone skin and mechanical parts to make "her" move.

The robot says things like "teehee, thank you" when told it is beautiful, and winks when told it's cute. Of course – just like a real woman. Ricky programmed all of its responses to his commands. "When you look at everything together, it was really difficult," he said in the Reuters interview. Watch the dead-eyed humanoid in motion for yourself.

Doctor Dope
THE UK ANTI-DOPING AGENCY IS BEING INVESTIGATED BY THE GOVERNMENT
A private doctor says he gave top athletes performance-enhancing drugs

A Sunday Times investigation alleged that Mark Bonar, a private doctor in London, said he prescribed performance-enhancing drugs including steroids to more than 100 top athletes from the UK and abroad.

Bonar was secretly filmed by the Times (paywall, lol) and had told the newspaper that he gave the athletes the drugs for medical reasons. Predictably, people started freaking out when Premier League footballers, British cyclists and an England cricket international player were mentioned.

In football, Arsenal, Chelsea and Leicester have distanced themselves from the story, and there's no suggestion that any Premier League clubs knew of any "alleged wrongdoing".

The government's launched an inquiry into the UK Anti-Doping Agency (UKAD) anyway, since Bonar was already on UKAD's radar in 2014.
