What's On the Menu?

Beijing has asked hotels and restaurants in the city to take dog meat off the menu for the duration of next month’s Olympics and September’s Paralympics, but some things you can look forward to are scorpions on a stick, on offer along with silkworms and seahorses.

Man Armed with Light Bulb Robs Store

fluorescent.jpgPolice are searching for a man who robbed a Brisbane service station armed with a fluorescent light bulb.

The offender, who's been described as chubby, walked into the Shell service station at Breakfast Creek in Brisbane's north about 4.45am (AEST) today and demanded money, police said.

He used the fluorescent light tube to threaten a female worker, before fleeing the scene on foot with a sum of cash. He must have grabbed the nearest potential weapon and a light bulb was all he could come up with. I think if it was me, I probably would have laughed in his face.

I Want a MakeOver Too

roberta-williams.jpg Roberta Williams, ex-wife of notorious Melbourne serial killer Carl Williams, is in the news again. This time she’s doing a photo-shoot for Zoo Magazine and at 37, and 4 kids later, thinks she looks good. Some of her previous photos are not so flattering. If I could get a make-over as good as Williams I’d be in Zoo too.
