Re: the mensa kid... Meh.
I can't believe they can accurately assess the IQ of a child that young. she MAY be REALLY bright but to assess it that way is suspect to me. These tests are always easy anyway. (It IS nice to know that my IQ is higher than Countdown Carols).

She can name 35 capitals of the world, count to ten in two languages and a ream of other impressive things. . . . I was particularly amazed, especially compared with babies of 2 that I know of! Clip of the young lady!stimpsonslostson wrote:Re: the mensa kid... Meh.

Oh and internet IQ tests set me at about 120 which is significantly lower than ms Vordermans. . . .
Irish Bull gets confused and rampages in supermarket NOT china shop. Nuff said. It is a funny clip. Watch the whole thing about 3/4 of the way through there is a classic moment.

Richard Briers better known as Tom Good from the Good Life has come out in force for the Anti-Runway-3 Campaign. Interesting new article - I am slightly suspicious about celebrities actually 'endorsing' campaigns though.

Royal Mail finally becomes profitable again. Making the proposed privatisation difficult for the government to justify.

Chavez (president of Venezuela) who famously named Mr Bush as a "pendejo" names a new phone a "Vergatorio". Roughly speaking they are translated as pubic hair boy (or asshole) and Penis. . . weird.

Re: In the News
Woody Allen of the Annie Hall Fame has won $5million in damages against American Apparel for using an image on him from the 1970's film Annie Hall. I would like a photograph but my legal team has advised against it.
The world has gone safety mad as they Ban ties in favour of the 'clip on' variety in a bid to improve Health and Safety. Lets wrap them all in cotton wool and make sure they never leave the house. The world is a dangerous place that can only be faced in pyjamas and cotton wool!

Oh my... I think she'll be needing plastic surgery on the nose after the op, looks a bit big for a woman's. Otherwise it's a rather unfortunate advert.
