Chris Sands, 24, has tried everything including holding his breath, drinking from the wrong side of a glass and getting a fright since the hiccups started last February.

He has had a brain scan, abdomen scan, chest scan and CT scan all in an effort to uncover the reason behind his mystery hiccupping, but so far there has been no diagnosis.

Desperate for help, Chris launched a blog on the MySpace website earlier in the year in the hopes that people will help him find a cure.

Charles Osborne, of Anthon, Iowa, holds the record for the longest ever bout of hiccups, which lasted for 68 years from 1922 until 1990.

"It ruined my appetite for the rest of the day," Lawrence said.

Beetles Older Than Dinosaurs

And the Rolling Stones are older than both of them.

New research hints that modern-day versions of the insects are far older than any tyrannosaur that trod the Earth.

Today's plethora of beetle species were thought to have blossomed 140 million years ago, during the rise of flowering plants. But the new study of beetle DNA and fossils, published in the Dec. 21 issue of the journal Science, pushes their appearance back to 300 million years ago.

"Unlike the dinosaurs which dwindled to extinction, beetles survived because of their ecological diversity and adaptability," said the study's lead scientist Alfried Vogler, an entomologist at Imperial College London and the Natural History Museum in London.

"The large number of beetle species existing today could very well be a direct result of this early evolution," Vogler said, "and the fact that there has been a very high rate of survival and continuous diversification of many lineages since then."

The creatures are so advanced that their breath will stink and they will react to visitors' movements and even their clothing colour, reports The Sun.

The Restless Planet is due to open in Dubai in 2010. The Natural History Museum has been approached to make the dinosaurs because of its ground-breaking work in animatronics.

Christmas shoppers and employees were evacuated from the store and the 90-kilo (198-pound) boar began charging at police, before falling in a hail of bullets early in the afternoon.


Just how the animal entered the shop, located in a commercial area near the city of Poitiers, remains a mystery. But three boars were spotted during the day in the region bordering the countryside, a police statement said.


The other two apparently returned to their usual habitat.

BBC Puts the Faggot Back

Yes, it was silly to alter it in the first place, but at least they admitted their mistake.









clipped from news.yahoo.com


LONDON (Reuters) -
A boss at BBC Radio reversed on Tuesdaya decision to cut the word "faggot" from a Christmas hit after the mother of the singer branded the move "ridiculous".

In "Fairytale of New York", released 20 years ago by the Irish band the Pogues and the late Kirsty MacColl, she sings "You scumbag, you maggot/You cheap lousy faggot".

BBC bosses decided to edit the word "faggot" each time the song was played because it was offensive to some of their audience. But they backed down after MacColl's mother and hundreds of fans complained.

Andy Parfitt, controller of the public broadcaster's Radio 1, said the decision to edit the song was wrong.

The song is a perennial favourite around Christmas and is battling for the lucrative number one spot in the charts this year. It has also topped several Best Christmas Song polls.

Crinkly the ugly swan has become well-known at a Gloucester bird sanctuary, after flying in from Russia every winter since 2001.

"We were worried about Crinkly because he is such a strange-looking bird," said Jools Mackin, spokesperson for Slimbridge Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust.

Until now, none the females at the trust was prepared to mate with him but conservation workers say they can see signs of a budding romance.

"It is too early to say whether or not they are mates, but we'll be monitoring them over the next few days to see. At the moment they are associating on Swan Lake.

Experts at Slimbridge were amazed when Crinkly first arrived as a cygnet with parents Lucius and Coletta, with a strangely deformed neck probably caused by a birth defect.

Dave Williams's pet Charlie ate at least ten pies that had been made for the event, today, in Wigan, reports the Daily Mirror.

Mr Williams, 57, who won the event in 1995, was looking after the tournament pies at his Preston home for safe-keeping.

He said: "Charlie likes pies, being a Wigan dog, so he probably thought they were for him. I only turned my back for 10 minutes and they'd gone. I was horrified."

Piemaster Rob Stewart, of makers Wigan Pies, said: "We'll be working through the night to replace them, of course. This unfortunate incident won't jeopardise the championships."

A Russian website called CyberLover.ru is advertising a software tool that, it says, can simulate flirtatious chatroom exchanges. It boasts that it can chat up as many as 10 women at the same time and persuade them to hand over phone numbers.

An Australian anti-virus software firm, PC Tools, has warned that the software could be abused by identity fraudsters trying to harvest people's personal details online. The Russian site denied it was intended for identity fraud.

"Not a single girl has yet realised that she was communicating with a programme!" it said, adding that the programme could also simulate virtual sex online.

In a side-effect, the cloned cats glow in the dark when exposed to ultraviolet beams.

A team of scientists led by Kong Il-keun, a cloning expert at Gyeongsang National University, produced three cats possessing altered fluorescence protein (RFP) genes, the Ministry of Science and Technology said.

"The ability to produce cloned cats with the manipulated genes is significant as it could be used for developing treatments for genetic diseases and for reproducing model (cloned) animals suffering from the same diseases as humans," it added.

The cats were born in January and February. One was stillborn while two others grew to become adult Turkish Angoras, weighing 3.0 kilogrammes (6.6 pounds) and 3.5 kilogrammes.

David Leggat was locked inside the bathroom at a lawn bowling club near the Scottish city of Aberdeen after the door jammed and the handle on the outside fell off.

He was rescued when the cleaner at the club, which is little used in winter, turned up to collect her cleaning equipment.

Leggat said a survival course he had once done had helped him endure his captivity. The cleaning lady said he looked shaken and grey when he emerged. Leggat was stoical.

"At least there was a toilet to use," he said. "The only thing I regret is not getting trapped behind the bar."
