Don't try this anywhere! Catherine Simpson, 11, of the U.K. was trying to scan her face, but the scanner wasn't cooperating. It grabbed her lip and wouldn't let go. Evidently Catherine's kisser got caught in a roller on the scanner. Firefighters had to come in and perform some...um... lip service for the poor girl. Her lip's fine -- her face-off with technology was no kiss of death and won't leave any lasting scars. But when Catherine grows up, you can bet she'll think twice before making a photocopy of her bum on the office copier.
