It Snow Joke

Seeing as the weather has decided to hint towards a white christmas, what better way to pass the time, than to catch up with the latest newsbites brought to you on this page.

Like beer? Like coffee? Ever wondered what was missing from your life? Now you have it, coffee beer, in a supermarket near you. No longer let the effects of the alcohol make you tired, now you can keep on drinking all night/day/night long :)

Twenty Eight thousand pounds for a truffle is quite a lot of money, I think you would agree. Especially when one considers that this truffle was left on display too long and has now had to be thrown away as it has gone off. At least the money went to charity.

No more dowdy nighties for us brits any more (not that I wore one anyway, honest) as a recent survey has shown that english women are buying more negligees and shiny pyjamas. Whatever next? Germans walking around without their white socks with sandals?

One for the businessmen amongst you now, as a new study has shown that the use of laptops can cause male infertility. However, they are not as dangerous as cups of hot coffee wedged between your legs whilst driving. Apparently.

Just to ub it in to the pilots that don't quite make it through their training course, scientists have taught cells from a rat brain to fly an F-22 fighter jet in a hurricane. Now let's see if they can also teach them how to run a country better than some of the present participants.

You have to hand it to the french, they always manage to do things differently from everyone else. However, this may soon come to a halt, seeing as a practice at paris airport resulted in plastic explosives, placed into a passengers bag for the sniffer dogs to find, were not found in time and left on a plane to an unkown destination. I can just imagine someone of arabic decent being the unlucky passenger, arriving at a US airport with the aforementioned luggage, and the excuse "I've never seen it before in my life" not quite working...

You learn something every day. European countries such as France and the UK have vowed to hold a referendum so that their inhabitants can vote on whether they want a european constitution or not. Germany, though, has said it can't ask the people, as there is a law preventing such actions.

Ever wondered what people do near their computers? Well, a recent study has brought an interesting insight into what can be found under the keys of a users keyboard. Unbelievable.

On an ending note, it seems like ETA is back to it'S old habits again, setting off bombs in Madrid and other major cities in Spain.

Well, wrap up warm, and snuggle up by the log fire, as christmas time is a-coming.
