Medical The phrase: “Those bloody taxes !” is getting a very funny meaning in Poland nowadays.

From now on it is possible to pay your tax bills by donating blood in Poland. Everyone who donates a liter of blood can now deduct 45 euros from their tax bills. Hospitals are giving out certificates to blood donors for every liter of donated blood.

Then one simply puts this certificate with his tax application, and 45 euros is deducted from their tax debt.

“One of my friends is an accountant and he told me about this new procedure,” says Dariusz Gryka from the town of Bialystok. ” I have donated my blood three times now. I can say it is definitely worth it !”

Latvia The rabbit of Latvian president Valdis Zatlers is dead. Lisis, as the bunny was called, was a  famous celebrity in Latvia. Lisis came to fame after president Zatler had told the press that he viewed his rabbit a full member of the presidential family.

It is speculated that Lisis was suffering from depressions after the family moved to the presidential palace last year. He longed back to his old home.

Although the Zatlers allowed Lisis to roam free around the palace, the little animal saw his new home as a golden cage.

The First Rabbit was never really able to cope with his celebrity status.
