What better way to protest the toughening of a dress code than to remove the dress altogether? University students in Hungary have done exactly that after their alma mater asked its pupils to refrain from wearing miniskirts, flip-flops or heavy make-up.

On Thursday riled students at Kaposvár University, which is in the south-west of the country, decided to take matters into their hands by sitting naked for one of their lessons.

A letter from university officials to students had said: ‘From October 1, there is also no place in the university for mini-skirts, flip-flops, heavy make-up, inappropriate fashion accessories, or unkempt fingernails and hair.’

Men were also asked to wear dark suits, while women are now expected to wear long skirts or trousers, too.

The art class which staged the protest were pictured in a circle with nothing but textbooks shielding their modesty, and some did wear a bit of underwear.

The students were joined in the protest by their professor, all of whom were photographed fully-clothed before stripping off.

Female and male protestors took part, while another is apparently being staged for Monday which will see students wrapped in beach towels and wearing flip-flops to class.

They say that the university had failed to match the new dress code to warmer days, when it can often hit 30 degrees during the summer months. - Metro UK

Beachgoers in Vera, Spain, may have caught an eyeful on Sunday as a large group of exhibitionists went for a swimsuit-free dip in the Mediterranean Sea in a bid to break the skinny dipping world record. The 729 nude swimmers were apparently successful, surpassing the previous world record set by 506 festivalgoers in New Zealand last year, local news sources report. According to the Europa Press, about 600 people were expected at the event. Vera Mayor José Carmelo Jorge was pleased with the turnout, calling the mass nude swim a "tremendous success." Organized by the town of Vera and the Spanish Naturism Federation, the swimmers showed up to Playa El Playazo beach in throngs Sunday morning before disrobing and taking a collective dip in the Mediterranean around noon. Though funds raised during the event will be donated to charity, the record-breaking attempt was meant to bolster tourism in the small resort town of Vera, which is home to several natur...

It turns out there is such a thing as double bananas – and this man has proof. Richard Preece, 33, found the extremely rare fruit in a bunch of bananas he had bought in his weekly shop in Asda. The father-of-three – who has completed charity fun runs dressed as Bananaman – was a little shocked at the bizarre discovery. His wife, Samantha, said: ‘It is the most bizarre coincidence. ‘It was just in a bunch of ordinary bananas so it was a bit of a shock. ‘When Sam opened it up none of us could quite believe it. I never even knew that you could get double bananas. ‘I showed my kids and they were quite amazed as they had never seen anything like it before. ‘When I put it on Facebook I wasn’t expecting the reaction that I got with the amount of innuendos and other implications people were commenting.’ In case you were wondering, the double banana tasted no different to an ordinary one, according to children Beatrice, nine, and Felix, six. ‘I thought my days...
