Oz cops investigating screams of 'why don't you die?' find bloke in battle with spider

May well you mock...

Ex-Brit in Aus here. One of my colleagues is in hospital as we speak as the result of a spider bite (species unknown). Such was the necrosis, some part of the poor bugger's leg has already been sliced away, uncomfortably close to his scrotum I hear. As he's a body-builder, there's a lot more to go around but we're all hoping for a full recovery. That and emerging swinging-between-buildings skills.

Sure everything wants to kill you but, hey, embrace the danger. I'll be off this afternoon for a bit of body-boarding on a beach that was closed yesterday after a 2.5m white pointer was spotted. What you gonna do, sit in front of a monitor for the rest of your life?

Cybercrime figures 'as true as sexual-conquest scores'

Sex Survey fail

"All it takes is for a few self-styled Don Juans to hopelessly distort the figures."

As any feminist will tell you, men just can't help bragging.

Or so we thought. Later studies have revealed that the reason for the discrepancy is that women are under-reporting rather than men over-reporting.

This <sigh> according to the feminists because men shame women into this position or something.

What ever it is, it's your fault, guys.

Brit firm stops anti-tank warheads with cloth

Send in the kids

I always thought it was particularly sporting of us to send "boys and girls" into a war zone. Personally, I would send trained killers but I suppose the MoD knows what it's doing.
