From time to time some interesting news headlines, edited and presented by (iwmpop) mr le marquis, together with a little logiciel of something or other, for your use!
It appears that a Priest was sent off in a recent football match for throwing his shirt at the referee. Good job they weren't playing in full flowing dress, or mr. le Cure may have found himself standing in his "undies" - or worse!

......re-usable and re-cyclable - it's the modern way...!
Did you know that during the D-Day landings, the disembarking troops used Condoms to cover the barrels of their rifles, to stop the seawater from getting down the barrel! Must have been French dimension condoms, considering the "thinnish"size of a rifle barrel! Different usage, condoms to stop unwanted
things getting in, rather than OUT...or both..!

Another interesting fact is that it takes more calories to eat and chew and digest a branch of celery than the celery itself produces! Great for ladies diats! Which brings us to your little "gadget" - this time, it's a "food value calculator" - you can find it and download it here:

A recent comment from a New Yorker, made on the latest scandal with the Governor of that State, and which sums up perfectly the profession of Politician:
"It's the opposite of a bath - you go in clean, and come out filthy!"

A Group, naming itself "Pimlico Plumbers" in London, England, is on the way to making a new record! One of their employees (he cleans the cars in the depot) is going to try to run in the London Marathon this year, to set up a new World
Record!
Usual - you might think, except that "Buster" is 101 years old! He puts his fitness and longevity down to doing nothing for his health in particular, keeping working, and drinking around 5-6 bottles of a special beer, brewed by a local Brewery, called "Buster's Bitter"
Jeez... if I had to drink that stuff, I'd prefer to kick the bucket!

Keep your eyes open for the next headlines!
Information is not available, 3 years later, regarding the state of health of the 101 year old (now presumably in his 104th year) The author trusts he is still going strong, from record to record....!
