A team of Japanese cooks has produces the world’s biggest rice cake. The rice cake has a whopping diameter of 150cm !

The cake has been made out of rice flour. Rice cakes are a very popular snack in among the Japanese. It took the team over an hour to prepare the cake while using over 15kg of flour.

Michihiro Yamaguchi (63), member of the Japanese Rice Cake Committee told the press he and his friends are insanely proud of their achievement.

This rice cake is now the word record holder. An attempt to bake the largest rice cake failed last month. That cake’s diameter fell only 3cm short of being a record.

After the cake was baked it was measured, making the record official. Then the team proceeded to break it in pieces and treated the audience to a snack. Most of the witnesses prefered their piece with some soy sauce.

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.

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 !
