Light A Winston Churchill’s False Teeth Sell For R175,000 – Had I known of the auction, I would have paid at least double that price for the great man’s dentures.

That market size will only grow as the target market — Gen Y — continues to increase. [kurthanson]

British Health Minister Encourages People To Call Each Other “Fat” – British helth minister Anne Milton reckons that the term fat was more likely to motivate people into losing weight, adding it was important people took ‘personal responsibility’ for their lifestyles. Stressing she was giving her own personal view, she told the BBC: ‘If I look in the mirror and think I am obese I think I am less worried than if I think I am fat.’ Your personal view is quite important if you’re the Minister of Health, my love.

No, is the answer. Blind. [msnbc]
