BBC NEWS | Entertainment | Panda painted onto single hair Huh. Why?????

BBC NEWS | World | Americas | Katrina lost child mission ends Seems incredible that in a civilised country it could take 6 months to get all the familes back together really. Glad they have though. On a lighter note though, this bit made me smile; “The centre worked with the FBI, the Federal Emergency […]

And naturally, there were good things today as well.
