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;
