Only in Italy...the "Love Park" opens for "business" 2007-01-26 14:18:05 A park where couples can openly have a good time is being opened in Bary, Italy
.Many young couples in Italy find it hard to be intimate as high prices force them to live with their parents for longer.Entrepreneur Giuseppe Foggetti is behind the park, in the southern port town Bary, where couples pay £2 to go in and another £1 for every half hour they stay.He said: "My idea was to create a place for those that want to spend intimate moments together without thinking whether someone would be shocked if they saw it. I intend to offer security and privacy."Ananova

Meteor size of orange hits Wales. Quick! Hide! 2007-01-27 16:10:04 Reports of a flashing streaking light seen across Wales
from Swansea to the Lleyn Peninsula on Wednesday morning was likely to have been an orange sized meteor traveling through our atmosphere at around 50,000 mph.Andrew Curley, 32, from Penrhyncoch, near Aberystwyth, was out walking his dog when he spotted a "huge fireball" racing out to sea."My initial thoughts were that it was a plane on fire, but it was far too big and going far too quickly for it to be an aircraft," said Mr Curley."It must have been something like a meteorite because it just lit up the sky." Bill Pullman is already taking welsh dialect lessons and in talks with directors about the film adaptation of this epic near miss.BBC NEWS via SpluchTechnorati Tags: wales, meteor,

The 93 year old blogger. 2007-01-27 23:35:31 An inspiration to us all. Donald Crowdis, 93, from Canada blogs in his spare time. Although not full of the senseless rubbish that most blogs are full of (including this one i must admit), Don blogs about his life and experiences at 93. A somber post dated just last week, Don ponders the inevitable day that he will leave this world:There are many reasons. For too long I have behaved as if I could postpone going indefinitely, and thus have so many things that I must do first. I don't want my successors to find out how much I could have done that isn't done, not by a long shot. There are numerous notes and letters I must write. There are places I've wanted to travel, but never had the chance. Actually, each of you can, if you think yourself into my age, fill out the list. At least you can try to understand why I say that I hate to go.If you have 5 minutes and you feel you need to put your life and troubles into a little perspective, give it a read...link to Don To EarthTechnorati Tags
