In The News:Robo-Caterpillar:A robot caterpillar which can crawl over a beating heart to perform vital operations has been invented by scientists. The inch-long ‘HeartLander’ is inserted with keyhole surgery, then attaches itself to the organ with two sucker ‘feet’. It is controlled by a joystick and can be used to inject drugs or install pacemakers - after being developed at a university in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. Beware Of Snakes :Austrian officials fed up with motorists stopping to urinate by the roadside have put up fake snake warnings to scare them into using toilets. “Of course there are no snakes but they don’t know that. We tried other signs but they were useless. These signs though have really worked. You see men coming up to bushes, getting ready to ‘go’ and then quickly zipping up their trousers again when they see the signs.” More Dumb Crooks :A burglar who broke into a sports club was arrested after he turned on the floodlights so he could see in the dark. A police spokesman said: “He had no flashlight and turned on the first light switch that he could find, the switch to the floodlights of the club’s football field.” Police were called out by the club’s grounds man who saw the floodlights from his nearby home.

Just Joking:The Bribe :A professor was giving a big test one day to his students. He handed out all of the tests and went back to his desk to wait. Once the test was over, the students all handed the tests back in. The professor noticed that one of the students had attached a $100 bill to his test with a note saying, “A dollar per point.” The next class the professor handed the tests back out.

First Bank Account:A mother decided that 10-year-old Cathy should get something ‘practical’ for her birthday. “Suppose we open a savings account for you?” mother suggested. Cathy was delighted. “It’s your account, darling,” mother said as they arrived at the bank, “so you fill out the application.” Cathy was doing fine until she came to the space for ‘Name of your former bank.’ After a slight hesitation, she put down ‘Piggy. Disaster:One afternoon a man came home from work to find total mayhem in his house. His three children were outside, still in their pyjamas, playing in the mud, with empty food boxes and wrappers strewn all around the front yard. The door of his wife’s car was open, as was the front door to the house. Proceeding into the entry, he found an even bigger mess. A lamp had been knocked over, and the throw rug was wadded against one wall. In the front room the TV was loudly blaring a cartoon channel, and the family room was strewn with toys and various items of clothing. In the kitchen, dishes filled the sink, breakfast food was spilled on the counter, dog food was spilled on the floor, a broken glass lay under the table, and a small pile of sand was spread by the back door. He quickly headed up the stairs, stepping over toys and more piles of clothes, looking for his wife. He was worried she may be ill, or that something serious had happened. He found her lounging in the bedroom, still curled in the bed in her pyjamas, reading a novel. She looked up at him, smiled, and asked how his day went. He looked at her bewildered and asked, “What happened here today?” She again smiled and answered, “You know everyday when you come home from work and ask me what in the world did I do today?” “Yes,” was his incredulous reply. She answered, “Well, today I didn’t do it.”
