How We See The World

Police called after one flea is found on student's kitten Student Robert Emberson with Plume - the harmless kitten that got him in trouble with the law. Animal lover Robert Emberson thought he was doing a good deed when he adopted a stray kitten from a cat charity. The police, it seems, did not agree. A few weeks after giving the 16-week-old cat a new home two officers swooped on his house accompanied by charity workers to demand he return his new pet. The action came after a single flea had been spotted on the kitten, named Plume, by one of the charity's officers during an earlier visit to check the animal's welfare. The heavy handed reaction …

Great article all should read. Why this man should give us all nightmares By ANN LESLIE Last updated at 19:17pm on 23rd August 2006 Comments Reader comments (12) Iran's president Almadinejad: Threatened to wipe Israel off the map Enlarge the image Why shouldn't Iran have nuclear weapons? We have them, so has America, France, Russia, Israel, China, Pakistan, India and possibly North Korea. So why make such a fuss about Iran? After all, we gulped, but then decided to accept Pakistan's and India's nuclear bombs. Why? Because we recognised that their bombs are, essentially, a continuation of the Mutually Assured Destruction doctrine which, as a deterren…

The undiscovered glories of our planet Until this week, we had no idea there was a shark that can raise itself up on its pectoral fins and walk across the shallow bed of the Indonesian seas. Just as we had no idea there was a little wrasse fish that can change colour - or flash - as it searches for a mate. But now we do, thanks to the wonderful results being reported by a scientific expedition to one of the least explored marine areas on earth, the so-called Coral Triangle between Indonesia and Papua. In all, the scientists from Conservation International found 52 new species, including the walking shark, the flasher wrasse and no less than 20 new …

Fatwas Useless Against Madmen — Aisha Eteraz Religious rulings by Muslim clerics, called fatwa, have often been cited as one impetus for terrorism. The infamous fatwa issued by Iranian Ayatollah Khomeini against Salman Rushdie, author of the controversial book The Satanic Verses, is a prime example. In the West, the word fatwa has come to be viewed with universal dread. Yet there have been literally dozens of fatwas issued against terrorism by high-ranking sheikhs in the years since 9/11. An incomplete list of them can be found here. (Also here and here, oh, and here too. Wow, that’s a lot.) For critics who claim that mainstream Islamic authorities have been silent…

World's first transplanted penis is removed An accident victim has become the first person to have a penis transplant. The 44-year-old man was given the 4in organ from a braindead patient half his age in a complex 15 hour operation. But the organ had to be removed just 14 days later due to "a severe psychological problem with the recipient and his wife". Transplant expert Professor Andrew George, from Imperial College London, said it was unclear if the man would have been able to perform sexually with the donated penis. "Doing a penis transplant should be no more complex than anything else," he said. "But it takes time for nerve sensations to kick in." T…

Crisp munching children 'consume five litres of cooking oil' Eating one packet of crisps a day is the equivalent of "drinking" almost five litres of cooking oil every year, the British Heart Foundation (BHF) has revealed.

The figures have been released as the BHF launches the second phase of its Food4Thought campaign today, ahead of World Heart Day this Sunday. Food4Thought aims to expose the amounts of hidden salt, fat and sugar that lurk within many common snacks, takeaways and ready meals. A shocking new advertising cam…

The call centre operates out of the Sant'Anastasia al Palatino (St Anastasia of the Palatine) Church close to the famous Ci…

Muslim leader: I want to hang the Pope Inflammatory: Hafiz Hussain Ahmed said he would 'hang the Pope' if he got his hands on him A senior Muslim leader said he would hang the Pope if he got hold of him as hundreds of radicals gathered in rallies across Pakistan to protest at the pontiff's recent remarks. "If I get hold of the pope, I will hang him," Hafiz Hussain Ahmed, a senior MMA leader, told protesters in Islamabad, who carried placards reading "Terrorist, extremist Pope be hanged!" and "Down with Muslims' enemies!" Emotions have been high in this Islamic nation of 160 million since Pope Benedict XVI last week quoted a medieval text that characterized …

Sleeping on the job can improve your work If your boss catches you snatching 40 winks at your desk, there's no need to be embarrassed. Just explain that you are sharpening your mental powers and boosting your productivity. And point out that you have evidence to prove it. The evidence in question has been provided by scientists who have shown for the first time that a daytime nap boosts memory, making it easier to recall important facts. The research was carried out in the U.S., where the practice of 'power napping' has already proved popular among many executives. However, not all bosses have embraced the idea of their staff sleeping on the job. Dr M…

The £77 slice of marmalade on toast To call this luxurious concoction marmalade is a bit like describing the finest caviar as fish paste. It contains more than £4,000 worth of vintage whisky, champagne and edible gold leaf. That works out at £77 for every slice of toast on which it is spread, or £11 for a dainty mouthful. And I have been invited to try it - a daunting prospect for someone who has hated marmalade all her life. Created by jam and marmalade maker Duerr's to mark its 125th birthday, the orange concoction in its commemorative crystal glass decanter, complete with silver lid, has been valued at £5,000. While waiting for the light…

Smarties production moves to Germany Smarties are joining the ever-growing list of iconic British products which will no longer be made in this country. Nearly 70 years after the first Smartie was made in York, it has been announced that the children's favourite will in future be made in Germany. From next year, every one of the 16,000 Smarties eaten every minute in this country will have been made in the city of Hamburg. It is a decision which will shock Smarties' fans who are still recovering from the change to the packaging last year. The decision to replace the cyclindrical design with a new six-sided pack caused uproar among Smarties' fans. …

Beckham to get the slash from Gillette First David Beckham got the axe from the England team, now he could get the chop from Gillette as the worldwide face of the shaving brand. The Real Madrid star's multi-million pound contract is up for renewal next year and according to advertising bible Marketing magazine he will be replaced by 'fresher-faced global stars'. The news will come as a massive blow to Brand Beckham, as the former England captain went on a massive PR offensive this week in a bid to promote his new book. Beckham's role with Gillette is likely to be reduced to promoting the shaving product in 'local markets', such as Spain and Britain. …

The pensioner was detained by officers after he was seen to pick up a prostitute in Bournemouth, Dorset, but he was let off with a reprimand because of his age. Inspector Mark Kelly said: "He had been driving around, picked up a girl, took her somewhere nearby and officers intervened as they were getting down to sexual activity. "They arrested him and brought him in but the custody sergeant felt a reprimand would be most suitable rather than put him through the courts…

He joined forces with 12 other animal welfare organisations - including the RSPCA and the International Fund for Animal Welfare - in demanding better legal protection for seals. …

"So ... how do Muslims react to the Pope's revelation that a Byzantine emperor 600 years ago thought that Islam was a violent religion? Why, with violence, of course? Muslims murder a nun in Somalia. They burn churches in Gaza, and they go on their grand marches and demonstrations reminiscent of the violence they spread after that Danish cartoon mess." http://boortz.com/nuze/200609/09182006.html#islam

Papal assassin warns Pope Benedict his 'life is in danger' if he visits Turkey Pope Benedict faces a growing chorus of demands to make an unequivocal apology for remarks seen as portraying Islam as a violent faith, despite attempts by Western leaders and churchmen to defuse the crisis. The calls came as it emerged papal hitman Mehmet Ali Agca, who is serving a life sentence for the attempted assassination of Pope John Paul II in May 1981, has written to Pope Benedict XVI from jail, warning him not to go to Turkey as planned in November in the light of his remarks.
