    Well, since this thread's dead, might as well do something not related to a certain controversial event taking place at TVC later on this evening...or posties resting their weary legs for a few days...

    Only in Japan - is this the stupidiest advertising stunt for a new Operating System ever? http://tr.im/CFeS - never mind "Heart attack on a plate" - you'd need snake jaws to get your mouth around that burger!

    And here's a daft diet - http://tr.im/CFfx - works similarly to the SlimFast plan - i.e. only one main meal a day, but this time supplemented by individually packed biscuits rather than a dubious compound masquerading as a milkshake (not that I've ever tried it - or any other form of diet plan).

    How about this for a job - a newspaper critic for a certain compound extracted from the hemp plant? http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8319950.stm

    Can you hula hoop? Michelle Obama can - much to the delight of the media, of course! http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8319989.stm

    I might post a few more this evening - feel free to add any other "Also in the news" stories in the meantime :)
