Heavyweight Amy is world's biggest bunny | the Daily Mail

The former World's Largest Bunny, Roberto of Wookey Hole near Somerset, England, has been surpassed in size by his own mate, Amy, according to their owner.

Roberto and Amy made news in April 2006 when they were married in the UK's first rabbit wedding.

Well, they say married women tend to gain weight....

Telegraph: Samurai swords to be banned

I can't say I was surprised when I saw this, especially given the general attitude towards weapons in general in the UK, but one little bit of the article stood out and made me just want to scream:

Last month, amphetamine addict Hugh Penrose was jailed for at least 19 years for hacking a 21-year-old woman with a samurai sword and then deliberately running her over.

In October, Bradley Moran was jailed for 17 years for murdering another man with a samurai sword following an argument in a nightclub.

Maybe, just maybe, people who hack up other people with swords shouldn't get prison sentences of less than two decades. Maybe they should go to jail for the rest of their natural lives.
