Dental News
A Nottingham woman has flown to Poland for dental treatment because she says she cannot afford to go to the dentist in the UK.
She travelled about a thousand miles to go for the appointment in Lodz to get two fillings done.
"I'm not scared of flying but I am a bit nervous of seeing the dentist."
Also, the Reverend Tony and his ministers embarrassed by the sight of long lines of people trying to sign up for an NHS dentist have come up with a simple solution.
They have banned queues.
Trebles all round.

Creators of My Little Pony
Create realistic, life-size pony.
The BUTTERSCOTCH pony will amaze kids and adults alike with her level of “awareness” and realism. She can move her head up and down, and back and forth, and her eyes open and close. Sensors enable BUTTERSCOTCH to respond and interact with the child. When her mane is brushed, a child will hear contented whinnies. When her ears are tickled, she will turn her head and try to find you. When she gets hungry, she’ll happily “eat” her very own carrot. And, when she’s had enough, she’ll shake her head to let you know she’s full. Petting her muzzle will cause her to sniff!

JesusPets
The End Is *Really* Really Near This Time
Hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, wars, tsunamis, you name it.
If you're a Christian, you've got a big problem on your hands. After you're swept away to walk the streets of gold with Jesus, red hot lava is going to pour from Mt. St. Helens and right over your dog, leaving his burned body encased for millennia until discovered by godless alien archeologists. And what do you suppose they'll do to his charred yet supple and hermetically sealed haunches? They are godless after all. (What would you do? That long space voyage sure can be lonely.)
JesusPets has the solution. For a modest fee you can live for eternity relatively guilt-free knowing a JesusPets animal lover took care of your dog for the rest of his or her natural life.
