Dog Island Free Forever
Over 2,500 dogs are already enjoying a better life at Dog Island. Separated from the anxieties of urban life, dogs on Dog Island are healthy dogs who live a natural, healthy and happy life, free from the stress and hardship associated with daily live among humans.

Cash machines to give safe drink message
Drinkers who visit Leicestershire cash machines late at night to get money for ‘just one more drink’ may find their party bubble burst by sensible drinking messages.
A warning about fines for anti-social behaviour will be displayed on 14 Nationwide building society ATMs along with the message "Drinking could seriously affect your balance", which will appear on receipts.
"By placing these adverts on cash machines and the receipts that come from these, we are communicating with people before they get drunk and hope that they will take our messages on board."

Water fights are banned, drought police tell clowns
Circus clowns have been warned to stop throwing water at each other or risk violating a drought order.
The entertainers, who work for Zippo's Circus, typically get through 20 buckets of water during their slapstick "slosh" shows.
The circus is in Wallington, Surrey, this weekend and Martin Burton, who is in charge, has been warned that the routines violate the drought order issued by Sutton and East Surrey Water.
Deliberate breach of the order is a criminal offence and punishable by a fine of up to £5,000.

STDs Running Rampant In Retirement Community
Doctors said sexually transmitted diseases among senior citizens are running rampant at a popular Central Florida retirement community.
A gynecologist at The Villages community near Orlando, Fla., said she treats more cases of herpes and the human papilloma virus in the retirement community than she did in the city of Miami.
"Yeah, they are very shocked (to hear the diagnosis)," gynecologist Dr. Colleen McQuade said. "I had a patient in her 80s."
A doctor blamed Viagra, a lack of sex education and no risk for pregnancy for the spike in sexually transmitted diseases at The Villages.

Zimbabwe Businessman Loses $1,2bn Cash in Fire
An electric fault is believed to have caused the fire that destroyed two rooms and property worth billions of dollars. Electricity had been intermittently switching on and off for the entire day and crackling sounds could be heard from the electricity meter box, each time the intermittent outages occurred. Workers at the motel owned by Bulawayo businessman Mr Jonathan Gapare also said that at times sparks could be seen whenever the lights were switched on. Willias Shumba, the owner of Yatko Investments, an indigenous company based in Chiredzi, escaped the blaze after he had left the room to have some food and booze when the fire started. "I have been using this lodge on my business trips for three years now, but for all this time I had never been allocated room 2. The loss of my money is a very bitter pill to swallow as it was payment for my house, which I had sold in Chiredzi.
Hmm.
Hmm.
Iraqi tennis team killed 'for wearing shorts'
The coach of the Iraqi national tennis team and two of his players were shot dead in Baghdad, apparently for wearing shorts in a district where Islamic radicals have started to enforce brutal, Taleban-style law.
Radicals have been leaving leaflets at homes, forbidding women to drive or go outside without being veiled. The leaflet also warns men not to wear shorts or dress in T-shirts bearing images or English writing.
In addition, the leaflet forbids men from wearing goatee beards and anyone from buying mayonnaise.
The leaflet threatens violators with death.

Mystery Disease Makes Peoples' Skin Crawl
Reports of a mysterious medical condition are cropping up across the U.S. but doctors are divided on whether it is a real disease or all in their patients' heads.
Called Morgellons Disease, patients who report having it describe sensations of creepy-crawlers beneath the skin and fibrous filaments oozing out of open wounds.
The majority of reports have come from Texas, California and Florida.
Thanks Annemarie.

Goldfish have feelings too, say fish researchers
Vets are calling on goldfish owners to take better care of their pets after research finding that the creatures have long memories, may feel pain and can even pine for their owners when they are away.
They claim the idea that goldfish have memories of only three seconds is outdated. “The public probably think it’s a bit quirky, but owners and all veterinary surgeons need to take fish seriously,” said Richmond Loh, a vet from Launceston, Tasmania.

Britain's most notorious egg collector dies in 40ft fall from tree
Britain's most notorious illegal collector of rare birds’ eggs has fallen to his death after losing his footing as he climbed a tree in a Yorkshire wood.
Colin Watson, 63, a father of three from Selby, was three-quarters of the way up a 40ft larch near Campsall, Doncaster, when he slipped and fell.
Poetic justice, I suppose.
