The poor creature was struck by lightening and left with blistering burns. You would expect it to have been cooked alive. But the cow miraculously survived, apparently unperturbed by the ordeal, and is already back roaming the meadows. Flame grilled: This poor cow was struck by lightning but, in a rare freak of nature, lives to the tell the tale Professor of Physical Geography, Jon Nott of James …

i saw in yahoo news and i found it here LONDON - Money can't buy you good taste but it can definitely buy you the most expensive burger in the world. Named simply, The Burger, it is selling at 95 pounds ($185) at a Burger King in the exclusive district of South Kensington on Wednesday. The limited edition of the burger, which can be bought for two days only and has so far sold 50, is challenging the current Guinness Record for the most expensive burger, currently held by the American Double Truffle Burger which cost just 65 pounds ($127) in 1994. http://www.forbes.com/2008/06/19/expensive-burger-king-face-markets-cx_je_0618autofacescan01.html?partner=yahoobu…

Roads in the south of Britain were still treacherous, airports in chaos and many trains either cancelled or seriously delayed even though the weather had cleared. Millions of workers stayed at home again because of the transport problems and dangerous conditions, which were made…

Unlike many local authorities which appear to have been caught on the hop by the snow, one headteacher was determined the weather would not disrupt his work. Andrew Perry realised that heavy snow was on its way on Sunday night and drove to his rural school to make sure it was ready for his pupils the next day. Armed with a sleeping bag, camping mattress and plenty of food, he was prepared for the long haul - which was fortunate because he has been stranded there ever since. The primary school - St Katharine's in the remote Savenake Forest in Wiltshire - was cut off by huge snow drifts on Monday morning. Despite Mr Perry's good intentions, all lessons had to be ca…

For Pascal Palomino, it was like a wet, sloppy kiss from Canada. The Montreal-born musician, who's now living in London, England, walked through the unusually quiet capital yesterday, and found a reason to smile at the thought that 30 cm of snow was enough to conquer the fabled strong-hold of the British empire. "It's funny, that everything's been a mess -- the trains were stopped and businesses closed -- but back home in Canada, it would be just another winter day," said 29 year old Pascal, as he worked the bar at, where else, the Maple Leaf pub in London last night. On Monday, after getting hit by an historic storm, London transit was at a standstill and 8,0…

The best complaint letter ever? Dear Mr Branson REF: Mumbai to Heathrow 7th December 2008 I love the Virgin brand, I really do which is why I continue to use it despite a series of unfortunate incidents over the last few years. This latest incident takes the biscuit. Ironically, by the end of the flight I would have gladly paid over a thousand rupees for a single biscuit following the culinary journey of hell I was subjected to at the hands of your corporation. Look at this Richard. Just look at it: I imagine the same questions are racing through your brilliant mind as were racing through mine on that fateful day. What is this? Why have I been given it…
