Just in time for Oktoberfest comes a cow-friendly alternative to traditional Bavarian lederhosen, those Pinocchio-style knickers that are traditionally made of leather. PETA Germany recently presented inventor Peter Kolb with a progress award for his swimwear designs that easily double as animal-free alternatives to leather lederhosen: yodel lay hee hoo (-ray), indeed!
Leather-free lederhosen are cheaper, beer-proof, and most importantly, animal-friendly. Let’s tap a keg and toast compassion.

Good news for paleontologists and other dinosaur enthusiasts. Auction house Christies has announced it will auction a 65 million year old Triceratops skeleton. The auction will be held on April 16th in Paris. Experts predict the skeleton will change hands for over 500.000 euros.
The Triceratops skeleton weighs over 2 tons and is 70 percent ‘original’. The other 30 percent are replica’s made out of some synthetic fabric. Dinosaur enthusiasts will also be able to bid on over 150 other dinosaur fossils and skeletons. This includes a Tyrannosaurus egg.
The Triceratops skeleton was found in North Dakota in the USA. It was sold to some rich European bastard in 2004. Because of the Triceratops’ famous head, with those three horns, it is one of the most well known Dinosaur species.
Triceratops. Cool eh ?

The British Secret Service MI5 called in the help of a certain German astrologist during the Second World War. The astrologist was used in the battle against Hitler. This was made public today by the British National Archive.
The German astrologist went by the name of De Wohl. He came to Britain in 1935 and had little trouble to convince the British Intelligence community that Hitler would not take any military decision without consulting his personal astrologist. Hitler indeed had a personal astrologist. This was Ernest Kraft, a Swiss national.
De Wohl told MI5 he could find out what Kraft’s predictions would be. This way De Wohl supplied the British with horoscopes from 1940 until 1943. These horoscopes were then used to predict Hitler’s military strategies.

I think I have new hero. Though I also envy him big time !
An American man from the state of Virginia has to be the most lucky bastard on the face of the Earth. This lucky man will never have to worry about running out of beers for the rest of his life.
Matt Venzke was proclaimed Biggest Beer Enthusiast of America by beer brewer Wynkoop Brewing Co.
The beer brewing company from Colorado awarded the lucky man a lifetime supply of free beer. He is also awarded the opportunity to brew his own flavor of beer at the company.
Venzke assured the press he is not going to be drunk everyday for the rest of his life. “It is about enjoying all different types and tastes of beer “, Venzke stated.
You can visit the Wynkoop Beer Co. website here
note: Did you know Wynkoop, or Wijnkoop, means wine buyer in Dutch? Kind of a strange name for a beer brewer, don’t you think?

A murder trial in a London courtroom, Old Bailey to be exact, had to be interrupted for a rather strange reason yesterday. On trial were six youths suspected of murder. The trial was interrupted because of a female jury member being distracted by a man in a mini skirt.
The 37-year-old transsexual Brian Alliban later admitted he had forgotten to cross his legs. The female jury member was disturbed by the fact the the guy also was not wearing any underwear. So she decided to write a memo to the judge to inform him she was not able to pay attention.
The judge paused the session and ordered court police to take Mr. Alliban out of the courtroom.
Brian Alliban, who calls himself Naomi, is scheduled to undergo a sex change operation. ” I am on my way to becoming a woman, but sometimes I am having trouble with my underwear. I was wearing a checkered mini skirt and I didn’t really sit as a woman is supposed to sit. Also the public stage is somewhat higher then the court area. This made people easily look under my skirt,” Alliban later said.
After the short interruption the trial proceeded as planned.
