Need Air Conditioning?
Try Stiff Nipples.
Think of the poor girl who has to answer the phone.
"Good Morning, Stiff Nipples, Andrea speaking, how may I help you?" Then again it might be some hairy-arsed bloke. You win some you lose some.

A French kiss can give you 40,000 parasites
Scientists say more than 40,000 parasites and 250 types of bacteria are exchanged during a typical French kiss.
The study says couples also exchange 0.7 grams of protein, 0.45 grams of fat and 0.19 grams of other organic substances.
The results come from a study carried out to publicise the advantages of good oral hygene in Sweden.
Swedish pharmacies taking part in the campaign are also looking for a couple to break the world record in kissing on Valentine's Day.
The marathon kiss will be broadcast live on the Swedish Pharmaceutical Association's website on February 14.
They say they want to urge responsible kissing which can have advantages as well, for example if the couple chosen beat the last record they will have burned an estimated 7,436 calories.
The current French-kissing record is held by Louisa Almedovar and Rich Langley, from New Jersey, who kissed for 30 hours, 59 minutes and 27 seconds in 2001.

Yob Britain
The youth of today ...
Fungus The Bogeyman
BRITAIN is in the grip of an “appalling” teenage yob crimewave, Home Secretary Charles Clarke admitted yesterday.
One in four boys between 14 and 17 is a serious or regular offender, a shock government report revealed.
A hardcore of half a million young louts are to blame for rising street crime, owning up to offences ranging from burglary and drug-dealing to muggings and assault.
Mr Clarke said the figures showed the need to crack down on young offenders and “hammer alcohol-related crime”.
He added: “This is an appalling statistic. Anybody who goes into any of our city centre streets on a Friday or Saturday night has to admit there is a major problem that must be addressed. We are focusing hard on tackling the number of young offenders.
“We must really hammer alcohol-related crime if we don’t want to build a massive problem for the future. There is absolutely no doubt that this is a very serious issue, both for health and social reasons.”
The alarming growth of Britain’s yob culture was laid bare in official crime figures published yesterday.
They showed recorded violence was up six per cent in the three months to September.
The Home Office study classified 24 per cent of boys aged 14 to 17 as “serious or prolific offenders”.
About one girl in eight — 13 per cent — fell in the same bracket.
The figures mean more than 510,000 youths have committed one or more major crimes or at least six less serious in the past year.
In a further blow, 29 per cent of young people admitted to being involved in anti-social behaviour.
And a third of under-16s said they had been victims of crime during the last 12 months.

Two-headed lamb born in China
Farmer Han Dianrong, 74, of Yantai city, Shangdong province, said he had never seen anything like it.
The lamb, one of four born to the same ewe, has four eyes and two mouths.
Mr Dianrong says both heads bleat together when the lamb sees people approaching.
The weight of two heads is too much for the lamb's neck so it has to be fed by bottle.

It's a Liger
Tiger Mates With Lion, Gives Birth to “Liger” Cub in Siberian Zoo.
In what local zoologists are calling a miracle, a Bengalese tiger has given birth to a healthy tiger-lion cub at a Novosibirsk zoo.
The cub is a cross between the female Bengalese tiger and an African lion. The animal resembled a lion cub except that it had stripes, and has been dubbed a “liger”, the Russian Information Agency Novosti reported.
“This was not the result of a scientific experiment,” Novosti quoted zoo director Rostislav Shilo as saying. “It’s just that the lion and the tiger live in neighboring caves in the Novosibirsk zoo, and got used to each other. It’s practically impossible in the wild.”
Shilo said that the “miracle cub” was christened Zita, and will remain in the zoo. But what will happen to the cub in the future, “no one can say”.

I'm thinking about selling my car
And getting one of these.
Not sure it would be legal though. It has no lights.

Address to a Haggis
Fair fa' your honest, sonsie face,
Great chieftain o the puddin'-race!
Aboon them a' ye tak your place,
Painch, tripe, or thairm:
Weel are ye wordy of a grace
As lang's my arm.
The groaning trencher there ye fill,
Your hurdies like a distant hill,
Your pin wad help to mend a mill
In time o need,
While thro your pores the dews distil
Like amber bead.
His knife see rustic Labour dight,
An cut you up wi ready slight,
Trenching your gushing entrails bright,
Like onie ditch;
And then, O what a glorious sight,
Warm-reekin, rich!
Then, horn for horn, they stretch an strive:
Deil tak the hindmost, on they drive,
Till a' their weel-swall'd kytes belyve
Are bent like drums;
The auld Guidman, maist like to rive,
'Bethankit' hums.
Is there that owre his French ragout,
Or olio that wad staw a sow,
Or fricassee wad mak her spew
Wi perfect sconner,
Looks down wi sneering, scornfu view
On sic a dinner?
Poor devil! see him owre his trash,
As feckless as a wither'd rash,
His spindle shank a guid whip-lash,
His nieve a nit:
Thro bloody flood or field to dash,
O how unfit!
But mark the Rustic, haggis-fed,
The trembling earth resounds his tread,
Clap in his walie nieve a blade,
He'll make it whissle;
An legs an arms, an heads will sned,
Like taps o thrissle.
Ye Pow'rs, wha mak mankind your care,
And dish them out their bill o fare,
Auld Scotland wants nae skinking ware
That jaups in luggies:
But, if ye wish her gratefu prayer,
Gie her a Haggis!
