This story about a black Brazilian woman having white looking children is being reported at the moment in a lot of the rags.So far so slow news day.But Google the story and what do you find?It was first reported in 2009 by Fox News with the same pictures.Taking recycling to extremes?

Happens all the time, any article that includes the words 'boffins' or 'stumped' is usually a steaming pile of crap.

Some of the bollocks I've seen on the Mail website has made me want to smear shit all over my laptop screen.

When I was working in Manilla there was an old building next door that was taken down that way, it took about 50 of them to remove this tower block in a month.

The only thing that wasn't human powered was the foreman's radio.

Mindless sh1t seems to sell, maybe it relaxes people not having to engage to any great degree with the content. George Hook for instance on radio yesterday was speaking about how people used to slip the News Of The World into their broadsheet Irish Times when reading in public. :pac:
