What Now, Brown Cow?

A report being attributed to a 'Richard Gray in London' has been appearing on various webcasts and newsfeeds and presumably in printed media too, if anyone still reads them. The claim is that scientists in China have created genetically modified cows that produce 'human' milk.

Our initial reaction was that it is some sort of belated April Fools Day prank - one that was picked up on too late for inclusion. But subsequent efforts on our part reveal that the story first appeared as early as 24th March.

So there you are.

Really, Mrs Clinton!

From The Irish Times - Wednesday, March 30, 2011:
US SECRETARY of state Hillary Clinton has raised the possibility that the United States may offer arms to Libyan rebels opposing Col Muammar Gadafy. There could be “legitimate transfers”, she said, because the US believes the United Nations resolution on Libya overrides “the absolute prohibition” on arms shipments.

Really, Mrs Clinton! You and whose army? Not this one by any chance?
