When Apple initially unveiled its biggest iPhone to date — the 5.5-inch iPhone 5 Plus — many worried the device would be too big to stuff in their pockets. Now, as it turns out, those who can fit the phone in their pocket are reportedly complaining that the phone bends after being stored there while sitting. Just days after the phone's launch, some iPhone 6 Plus owners are reporting that their phones look slightly bent and curved from sitting in a pants pocket,  according to MacRumors . The blog claims at least two of its commenters have reported incidents in which the larger iPhone has bent out of shape after being stored in pockets.

This is so silly but some of you might want to read it. Ghanaian star and former Sunderland striker Asamoah Gyan has been bizarrely accused of having a hand in the death of his friend, Ghanaian rapper Castro. Some people in Ghana are accusing Gyan of using Castro for human sacrifice ritual. In July, Theophilus Tagoe, popularly known as Castro, went missing while on holiday with Gyan and other friends. The musician was presumed to have drowned in a jet ski accident, but his body was never found which led to the allegations against the striker, with his family constantly being hounded by Ghanaian press. The football star (pictured left) and his family have denied having a hand in what happened but the accusations are refusing to go away because of the lack of a body. Gyan and Castro Gyan announced on his website today that he will be holding a press conference to finally address and bring some clarity to the matter "The Gyan Family will hold a press conference on Wednesday
