Akatu has created a new app called the "Fake Shower." It plays a running shower and is designed to cover for any noises made while on the toilet. The app description reads: "Many people turn on the faucet or shower only to prevent others from hearing the 'sounds of nature' in the bathroom. Water is wasted, but with the Akatu Fake Shower, a couple's intimacy is saved, and so is the water." A Baraboo, Wisconsin woman recently called the police to complain about her neighbors, who she said were having loud sex. When cops arrived, they discovered the lovemaking sounds were actually dozens of frogs belching out loud mating calls. The caller still wanted to file a complaint against her neighbor. The Port St. Lucie, Florida police recently arrested Carlos Baca for leaving the scene of an accident. He backed into a pickup truck before fleeing.
