Tweet, tweet, cheap cocaine anyone?

First story I read this morning was about the British PM Gordon Brown (over there on your left) 'Tweeting' the support of his own health system, the NHS.

Good job Gordy. That'll get the kids on board.

Then of course there was the obligatory Twitter campaign story in the Sydney Morning Herald (thankfully it was relegated to the Technology section so no complaints there really). This campaign was against a fashion label that printed shirts for babies that say 'They shake me'.

Even Gordon thinks it's funny, look, he is smiling. Good job media.

IN OTHER NEWS:

*
The iPhone is now officially recognised as the tool of the Devil, after reports they "suddenly burst into flames and smoke";

* Apparently no one likes Australia anymore, which of course is understandable if you are a New Zealander because, well, when Australians cross the ditch they are the biggest bunches of tight arses around;

* Drug dealers in Canada are set to have a slow weekend after it was revealed animal worming drug is being used to cut cocaine. Interestingly though the story on CBC.ca was the second most commented story as at 9am on Friday (amazingly it was just behind the story Ignatieff lags Harper in approval rating: poll). Several theories here:
A) There is a lot of people who are bummed about no cocaine this weekend
B) There are a lot of animals concerned they will get worms in the near future.
C) Politicians are worried about getting worms off Ignatieff;

* If you want award winning sausages you need to get to the Lower Clarence in Australia;

* Thanks to the Naked Scientists we discover why men have to stand to urinate -- very interesting.

and finally;

* The maths behind the expanding universe thanks to Starts With A Bang
