Dog Ice-cream
Will and Guy thought that dog ice-cream was just another shaggy dog
story; we should have known better, there are numerous real products for
this growing market. Another example of role reversal where the pets
control their
owners?
Doggy treats Yoghund
We assumed from the name 'Yoghund' that this peanut butter and frozen yogurt came from Germany,
but no, it's sold in pet stores in 23 states in the USA. There is also
a product called Polar Pups, a cool treat made with soy milk. Fact is
stranger than fiction.
Panting Peanut Mutter
A company called Wagg Foods in Yorkshire, England have developed a doggy
treat made from frozen yoghurt, Panting Peanut Mutter, Oaty Pawfection and
Chase Your Tail Cheesecake. And hidden in the ice cream are dog biscuits.
Tom Page, at Wagg Foods, said: "Brits are well known for being a nation
of dog lovers - with their pets often becoming one of the family. "Because
of this we often treat them the same as our kids, although the titbits we
give them aren't always healthy or safe for dogs. "We wanted to develop a
dog-friendly icy treat which owners could feel confident would help cool
down their pet and still be healthy - meaning dog and owner could both enjoy
everyone's favourite summer pleasure together."
Nicola Purcell, whose dog Lawrence was one of the first to try the ice
cream, said: "I love ice cream and Lawrence will always pester me and ask to
lick out the tub; he won't stop until he gets his way."

Jack the Treacle Eater - Funny Folly House
One
story heard by Will and Guy is that of "Jack the Treacle Eater". The
legend tells us that Jack
was a local runner whose role was to carry messages for the Messiter family
of Barwick Park, to London and back; we were told that he trained on
treacle, to keep him going and hence his name.
Now, his commemorative tower can be found in Barwick Park, Somerset,
England. Does the picture to the right remind you of a man with
huge thighs? Or can you imagine those stones in the garden folly
to be the messages?

Lightning and Trees
Detailed and recent research on lightning deaths has led us to want
publicise the results: which trees [if at all] you might stand under in the
event of a thunderstorm?
- It is extremely dangerous to stand under any tree during a
thunderstorm. - It is even more dangerous to stand under an oak than any other kind
of tree. - The next most risky trees to stand under are poplars and Scots
pines. - If you are determined be a complete maniac and stand under a tree
during a lightning strike, but don't actually want to die, head for a
beech. They are ten times less likely to be hit than oaks. - According to the very few studies done, you are also much less
likely to be hit by lightning under a sycamore, hawthorn or holly tree.

Funny Swine Flu Pictures and Jokes
We appreciate that swine flu is a serious problem and that people who
contract the virus may die. However, throughout history, catastrophes have
been resolutely faced by using humour. We feel that these "jokes" fit that
construct. We hope you agree.

Heard by Will and Guy About Swine Flu
- Swine flu is spread by capitalist pigs
- Swine Fever is a song by Piggy Lee
- I had a bad day yesterday, I made a pig's ear of everything I tried
- I think I have the swine flu. I have the sudden urge to eat bacon
- I think I have swine flu: I've broken out in rashers

The Swine Flu Virus in Perspective
Any flu virus provides a serious threat, especially to the very old and
the very young. While the swine flu is not MORE virulent than previous
strains of influenza, our problem is that of May 2009 scientists have
not had time to produce a vaccine. As a result the virus can spread
more quickly than with 'normal' strains, this is why the swine flu is
referred to as pandemic - world-wide.
It is instructive to review the Spanish flu of 1918. In countries
such as USA and UK about 25% of the population were INFECTED. Of those
infected approximately 3% died. While the percentages are much lower than I would
have guessed, nevertheless the flu caused a huge number of actual
fatalities, in the USA alone there were 500,000. Naturally these
statistics don't
take into account the misery suffered by those who survived the virus, both
for themselves and caring for sick relatives.
