It has been many years since I was a member of a Subbuteo soccer league, and I remember not too fondly that I was quite hopeless, I seemed to lose every game I played by at least 4-0. Although the only items I bought myself were the actual players, I was aware that people could buy floodlights, stands, and more stuff as accessories for their individual Subbuteo set up. Now imagine how shocked I was to discover that nowadays you can purchase for your table soccer delights actual streakers, both male and female, designed to interrupt your miniature football pleasures.

Watching the Animal Planet channel recently I saw a feature on herring, in which it was claimed that they deliberately 'break wind' in the water in order to communicate. Note that I remember from my schooldays that the plural of herring is indeed herring! So these emissions from behind are known in the science world as Fast Repetitive Ticks, FRT's for short. Surely not! This has got to be some kind of April fool! However, upon reading this article and a few more I discovered on the web, this claim has just got to be truthful.
