AUSTRALIA IS HIT BY FLOODS - AN INLAND TSUNAMI UPDATE: The flooding is the most widespread and severe in at least 100 years, covering an area larger than FRANCE and GERMANY COMBINED!

The floods prompted officials to order the evacuation of two million people in QUEENSLAND's capital of BRISBANE. A flash flood caused a tsunami-like wave to crash into the city of TOOWOOMBA, tossing cars and destroying homes. Sadly, many people have perished, and the death toll is likely to rise as the rescue and relief efforts continue. AUSTRALIA (both northern and s…

But an ITV insider said last night that the balancing act ‘is just not feasible’. Th…

Donald McCain, whose father trained Red Rum to win the race three times, successes which helped elevate the contest into a national institution, enjoyed his first victory in the world's most famous jumps race since taking over the licence from his father in 2006. But the race came not without its share of unwanted controversy, with two horses killed and the winning horse heading straight back to the racecourse stables after the race after showing signs of…

What a moo-ver! The showjumping cow that thinks it's a horse By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 4:41 PM on 5th April 2011 Comments (0) Add to My Stories When Regina Mayer's parents dashed her hopes of getting a horse, the resourceful 15-year-old did not sit in her room and sulk. Instead, she turned to a cow called Luna to make her riding dreams come true. Hours of training, and tons of treats, care and cajoling later, the results are impressive - not only do the two regularly go on long rides through the southern German countryside, they do jumps over a makeshift hurdle of beer crates and painted logs. Regina joked while sitting …

They definitely should though.

Are U.S. government microwave mind-control tests causing TV presenters' brains to melt down? By Tom Leonard Last updated at 12:03 AM on 2nd April 2011 Comments (106) Add to My Stories A bizarre spate of television presenters dissolving into on-air gibberish has sparked claims that the U.S. military could be to blame. In four high-profile cases, the latest involving fast-talking Judge Judy, the presenters have started off speaking properly but have then descended into undecipherable nonsense - looking confused and unstable. The frequency of the 'attacks' - and the fact that recorded examples of the mental meltdowns have been pop…

12-Year-Old Genius Expands Einstein's Theory of Relativity, Thinks He Can Prove It Wrong Could Einstein's Theory of Relativity be a few mathematical equations away from being disproved? Jacob Barnett of Hamilton County, Ind., who is just weeks shy of his 13th birthday, thinks so. And, he's got the solutions to prove it. Barnett, who has an IQ of 170, explained his expanded theory of relativity — in a YouTube video. His mother Kristine Barnett, who admittedly flunked math, did what every other mother would do if her genius son started talking mathematical gibberish. She told him to explain the whole thing slowly while she taped her son explaining his take on the…
