    This Has to be the Most Frivolous of Frivolous Law Suits.

    Is this guy for real or is the story an early April Fool joke? For starters, the story says the guy's parents never authorised the picture's use but later states the band promised to cover his genitals with a sticker.....something doesn't add up there. Plus, the guy did further similar photo...

    Sad Events In Miami.

    Read about it earlier and now seen footage of the building collapse in Florida on Sky News at midnight BST. Jaw droopingly mad to watch but I was much heartened to watch the emergency folks rising to the task and risking their own by rummaging through the rubble looking for hidden survivors...

    When Is $20 Worth $18.9m?

    This beauty looks more like a medallion than a coin. I remember once reading how it was illegal to own one of these but never had it explained to me why this was the case. I believe the same applies to the feathers of a bald eagle. US Double Eagle gold coin sold for record $18.9m - BBC News...

    Where are We Flying to Today?

    I see today is National Paper Airplane Day in America. How long this has been going on I wouldn't know but it sounds quite a hoot. We used to design and make all kinds of paper planes as kids, I recall one kid called Jeremy somehow managed to always get his planes to fly the furthest and one...

    First Superman Comic Sells For $3.25 Million: Bargain Or Bull?

    Originally selling for 10 cents in 1938 (when many thousands were printed) some guy has just splashed out $3.25 million for the comic marking Superman's debut. Did he get a bargain or was he bamboozled? $3.25 million could buy one heck of a lifestyle, though I suppose the buyer already has one...

    Are Modern Container Ships Not Fitted With Bow Thrusters?

    My Nebuliser Arrived Today And So Far, So Good :-)

    After applying to my doctor a while ago to get home oxygen therapy to assist with my breathing issues my respiratory nurse suggested I try a nebuliser first. I already had a Salbutamol (Ventolin) inhaler that I felt made no difference at all so I was somewhat doubtful the Salbutamol nebules*...

    Why Did I Get An Unsolicited E-mail From 4Noggins Today?

    In bed now and I opened my mailbox only to see an unsolicited e-mail from 4Noggins offering me St. Patrick day special offers. I have never subscribed to such nor ever dealt with them so can only assume it has come from Pipesmagazine.com. Why would this be so please? Does Pipesmagazine 'sell...
