school bans farting

permalink | cm(0) | tb(0) | news

A Chinese school has introduced a new rule to ban pupils from farting in public.

Children caught breaking wind at Hu Zhuang Elementary School in Beijing are fined about 50p.

Zhang, a school teacher, said: " We use the regulation to help students get rid of their bad habits. And nobody has been fined so far."

spray-on stockings

permalink | cm(0) | tb(0) | news

Japan's cash registers are being kept busy with sales of the latest wonder product - a spray-on silk stocking that could mean women will never again have to worry about runs in their stockings.

"This product is really easy to use; it dries very quickly - you just have to spread it over your skin," explained Hanae Seki, the cosmetics manager at the Sony Plaza store in Tokyo's Ginza district.

The stocking is simply sprayed onto the leg "It's perfect for Japan's summer season, when traditional stockings are too hot. We're selling several hundred bottles a month - people are coming from all over Japan to buy them."

The product is called the Air-Stocking - a fine, silk aerosol spray.

animal ringtones

Soon your phone could be roaring like a lion or screaming like a barn owl.
Wildlife recordings from the British Library's sound archive have been turned into mobile phone ringtones.

The library has sold 40 of the 100,000 sounds in its archives, including the noises made by bellowing hippos and cobras attacking.

Some of the ringtones can be downloaded already and others will become available later in the year.
