Because that’s EXACTLY what you’re doing when you don’t buy tickets to the overseas lotteries. We only play them when they go over a billion Rand. Which is now.

English heavy metal band Motörhead has launched a line of bottled alcoholic beverages, because that’s just what you do when you’re a band of a certain age.

As the Olympic Games draw nearer, organisers have made the almost 70 000 volunteers assisting at the Olympiad take a sensitivity quiz to assess their readiness to meet a variety of different people that will be visiting London. Given that this is England, you can bet some of their responses were not… er, productive.
This really does look like a scene from a horrific, science-fiction film in which spiders take over the world. Unfortunately for arachnaphobes, and most of Wagga Wagga’s population, it’s very real, and is the result of spiders escaping floodwaters.

A serious campaign is underway to bring down Joseph Kony, the infamous leader of the Ugandan guerrilla group: the Lord’s Resistance Army.
