Merseyside Mourns Dead Chicken

Merseyside police have ordered the local community to "stop grieving" after Liverpudlians flocked to deposit flowers, cards and teddy bears in tribute to a dead chicken found in an alleyway. According to the BBC, one card read: "RIP Little Baby. Safe in the arms of Jesus. From someone who is a loving mother xxxx."

A spokeswoman for Merseyside police explained to the BBC: "It seems a member of the public saw the remains of a foetus, which possibly resembled a human foetus, and called us. We cordoned off the area to investigate, as we would with any possible suspicious death, but it became apparent it was not a human foetus. The flowers and cards are obviously the result of local gossip, but we can assure people that the remains were not human."

Accordingly the Old Bill on Monday issued a "stop grieving, it's only a chicken" edict. The BBC rather unfairly concludes by noting that Spectator editor Boris Johnson last year attracted a hailstorm of flack for condemning Liverpudlians as "hooked on grief". ®

Lad Mag's Advert Boob


A lad-mag has been rapped over an advert inviting readers to "win a boob job for your girlfriend".
Offended members of the public complained the competition in ZOO could result in women being "co-erced" into having surgery.
The Advertising Standards Authority said the advert was irresponsible because breast surgery was potentially harmful.
An article in ZOO said the "boob job" was worth £4,000.
It continued: "Make your lady a more rounded individual with our feel-good, selfless, world-first competition.
"ZOO is giving away a £4,000 boob job for your partner, and a £1,000 cash prize for you!"
The double page article featured photos of the model Jordan before and after breast surgery.
A side panel headed "Choose your Chest" included photos of eight pairs of breasts ranging from an A cup to a G cup.
A spokesman for ZOO said the magazine would make it clear in future that the £4,000 winner's prize was a "fund" which could be spent on whatever he or she wanted.
He pointed out that two other complaints were not upheld by the ASA.

Coming soon: the mp3 breast implant

Here's an appealing thought: an mp3 breast implant which will allow surgically-enhanced girls to store and play back their entire music collections from their 36DD assets.

We kid you not. According to UK tabloid the Sun - ever watchful for life-enhancing technology, especially when it's got a big jubs angle - BT Laboratories bod Ian Pearson reckons breast implants may as well do something useful if they're to be permanently installed, rather than just looking decorative.

Accordingly, he's proposed sticking an mp3 player in one dug, and a storage chip in the other. Quite how playback is achieved we're not quite sure*, but it may well involve the listener burying his or her head in the cleavage for a full stereo effect.

Likewise, God alone knows how you select tracks, but breasts do come equipped with a pleasing alternative to the iPod's selector wheel. We can imagine the scenario: Girlfriend: "Oi, what the bloody hell are you doing?" Boyfriend: "Hold on, I'm just scrolling down to Stairway to Heaven."


*Oh, OK then - Ian Pearson said "flexible plastic electronics would sit inside the breast. A signal would be relayed to headphones, while the device would be controlled by Bluetooth using a panel on the wrist". We prefer our solutions, naturally.

Wind Vaccine For Sheep

Researchers in Australia have developed a vaccine that reduces the methane gas emissions from sheep and cattle. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas and is produced by protozoa in the stomachs and intestines of these grass-eating animals. The vaccine primes the immune system to recognise and attack the protozoa and tests have shown that it can reduce emissions by 8 %.
