They share the same piercing gaze, defined jawline and stern mouth set off with a clipped moustache. But the Frenchman who believed he was the secret son of Adolf Hitler was never able to prove his family line before he died. He wasn’t even sure he wanted to.

A group of young German MPs have proposed that people who do not have children should pay extra tax to help pay for social services in the future. In the light of Germany’s low birth rate, should those not producing offspring pay more? Have your say. In a detailed paper submitted to Chancellor Angela Merkel, the conservative group surrounding Marco Wanderwitz, suggested that from next year, Germans over the age of 25 who do not have children, should pay a share of their income as a special tax. Those with one child should pay half the rate, while the tax would be dropped altogether for people with two children. “In particular regarding health and nursing insurance, people ...

Germany needed Shitstorm, according to a group of language experts who elected the word as the top English contribution to the German language last year. The “Anglicism of the Year” jury defined Shitstorm as a public outcry, primarily on the internet, in which arguments mix with threats and insults to reach a critical mass, forcing a reaction. “This new kind of protest is clearly different in kind and degree from what could be expected in the past in response to a statement or action,” said jury member Michael Mann, who runs a language website called Lexikographieblog. The jury said in a statement on Monday: “Shitstorm fills a gap in the German vocabulary ...

> Embargo Warning Pending This morning, the Muslim Brotherhood warned the United States that if the United States continued meddling in Egypt, Libya, and other potential hot spots in the Middle East they intend to cut off America's supply of 7-11 and Motel 6 managers. If this action does not yield sufficient results, cab drivers will be next, followed by Dell, AT&T, and AOL customer service reps. Finally, if all else fails, they have threatened to not send us any more presidents. It's gonna get ugly people. >

Happy Valentine's Day! It's been 40 years now since "Heart of Gold" entered our lives, and we'd like to wish that every day could be Valentine's Day. So there comes a time for a delightfully heart-warming story from Matthew and Melinda or ...Understanding Neil Young's Music. Often, we've found ourselves trying to explain Neil Young's music to others with varying degrees of success. In the end, we find that his music isn't really something that can be explained. While we've expended quite a few words on this blog making an attempt, it really is the stories of others which transcend the gap much better. Art by Susan Farrington So ...

A French court has found the US biotech giant Monsanto legally responsible for the poisoning of a farmer who inhaled a powerful weedkiller. Correspondents say the case could influence rulings in other countries on the use of pesticides. Monsanto says it will appeal against Monday's verdict by a court in Lyon. Paul Francois, 47, suffered from dizziness, headaches and other problems after examining a sprayer in 2004 which contained Lasso, a product now banned. The court linked Lasso directly to the farmer's illness. It ordered a report on his condition, to establish the amount of compensation Monsanto would have to pay him.

An elderly couple had dinner at another couple's house, and after eating, the wives left the table and went into the kitchen. The two gentlemen were talking, and one said, 'Last night we went out to a new restaurant and it was really great.. I would recommend it very highly..' The other man said, 'What is the name of the restaurant?' The first man thought and thought and finally said, 'What is the name of that flower you give to someone you love? You know.... The one that's red and has thorns? 'Do you mean a rose?' 'Yes, that's the one,' replied the man. He then turned towards the kitchen and yelled, 'Rose, what's the name of that ...

NEW YORK – Like a good academic person should do, Dr Jean Adilifu of the Medgar Evers College Preparatory School in Brooklyn, New York, did her homework before responding to questions relating to the recently released China Daily/Gallup poll. Speaking to a colleague the night before, the assistant principal for foreign languages for the school that requires all its sixth graders to take Chinese had her data at her fingertips. “Spanish is the No 1 foreign language offered in the schools across the country, French is second and Chinese is third – but growing exponentially,” Adilifu added. The results of a survey of 2,007 Americans and 250 opinion leaders, conducted last ...

OKUMA, Japan (Reuters) - Back home for just three hours, a tearful Miyoko Takeda sorted through her belongings. She left behind the kimonos she once wore as a traditional dancer, fearful they might be contaminated by radiation. Nearly a year has passed since a massive 9.0 magnitude earthquake hit Japan, Okuma town, but the site of the reactors at the centre of the Fukushima nuclear crisis remains off limits for residents, save for short trips to hastily abandoned homes. The Fukushima Daiichi plant, on the coast 240 km (150 miles) northeast of Tokyo, was wrecked by the March 11 earthquake and tsunami, triggering reactor meltdowns and radiation leaks that caused mass evacuations and ...
Swiss develop rapid infrared cocaine test

Up to 60,000 Swiss are estimated to take cocaine every day Researchers at Zurich’s Federal Institute of Technology (ETHZ) have helped create an infrared device that can detect tiny traces of cocaine in human saliva. The compact detector, which was created as part of a national new technology research programme, Nano-Tera, may be adopted by law enforcement agencies to test suspect drivers. “Current rapid tests conducted by the police in the streets do not give the concentration of drugs consumed, just negative or preliminary positive results, which are sometimes wrong and not recognised by the courts,” ETHZ physics professor Markus Sigrist told swissinfo.ch. “It takes ...

A North Carolina man was none too pleased with one of his daughter Hannah's Facebook posts. So instead of just telling her, he decided to tell the world exactly how he felt in a YouTube video. (Warning: This video contains strong language and content.) After already grounding Hannah for three months for what he refers to as a similar incident in the past, Tommy Jordan decided to take his disciplinary action to a whole new, more public level. Jordan uploaded a video of himself sitting in a lawn chair reading aloud his 15-year-old daughter's post and then shooting nine hollow-point rounds into her computer with his .45-caliber gun. Jordan, who is an IT consultant, says he discovered ...
Smoking pot doubles car accident risk

Smoking marijuana a couple of hours before you drive almost doubles your chances of having a serious car crash, say Canadian researchers. The study led by Associate Professor Mark Asbridge from Dalhousie University in Halifax, is the first to review of data from drivers who had been treated for serious injuries or died in car accidents. The level of impairment from smoking pot might not be as severe as alcohol intoxication, but it does require a public health response, a researcher says. "To our knowledge this meta-analysis is the first to examine the association between acute cannabis use and the risk of motor vehicle collisions in real life," the researchers write in the ...

Story at-a-glance A new research review that collectively examined data from more than 100 countries concluded exposure to sunlight, which stimulates the production of vitamin D, is protective against cancer The data showed very strong evidence that higher solar UVB exposure decreases the risk of 15 different types of cancer, and weaker evidence also pointed to protection against an additional nine types of cancer Unless you get a deep dark tan, which is a pretty good gauge that your vitamin D levels are where they need to be, it is wise to get your blood levels checked; this is the only way to know for certain you have reached therapeutic levels By Dr. Mercola In 2011, it was estimated ...

A 32-year-old model who held the record for the world's largest implants has walked away from a car crash after her breasts acted as an air bag. Sheyla Hershey, who has 38KKK breasts, was driving home near Houston, Texas, after a Super Bowl party on Sunday when she crashed into a tree. The mother was charged with drink-driving after the incident and allegedly was not wearing a seatbelt when she lost control of her Ford Mustang. Her car spun around and hit a tree during the crash but she denied the drink-driving charge in court on Monday, reported the Daily Mirror. Despite the crash Hershey, who once had 38MMM breasts, avoided injury because her huge bust protected the rest of her body ...

ScienceDaily (Feb. 2, 2012) — Men put on their best behaviour when attractive ladies are close by. When the scenario is reversed however, the behaviour of women remains the same. These findings were published February 2, 2012, in the British Psychological Society's British Journal of Psychology via the Wiley The research, which also found that the number of kind and selfless acts by men corresponded to the attractiveness of ladies, was undertaken by Dr Wendy Iredale of Sheffield Hallam University and Mark Van Vugt of the VU University in Amsterdam and the University of Oxford. Two experiments were undertaken. For the first, 65 men and 65 women, all of an average age of 21, ...
