In Britain, whether or not your hairstyle meets dress code depends on your race.



13-year-old girl told she cannot attend shool with her hair in cornrows, because she's white. Two black girls with the same hairstyle were told it was perfectly acceptable.

The picture is REALLY what makes this story worth sharing.

A chewing gum which the makers say can help enhance the size, shape and tone of the breasts has proved to be a big hit in Japan.

The gum works by slowly releasing compounds contained in an extract from a plant called Pueraria mirifica, also known as Kwao Krua, which is a species found in Thailand and Burma. It has long been used by indigenous hill tribe people as a traditional medicine.

The plant's underground tubers contain a number of chemicals called phytoestrogens - natural compounds which mimic the effects of the female sex hormone oestrogen. These include miroestrol and deoxymiroestrol, which are believed to exert a particularly strong effect, as they are very close in chemical structure to oestradiol, the main human oestrogen.

B2Up says that it is the effect of these two chemicals, coupled with a third phytooestrogen isoflavone, which makes its gum so effective. It cites tests carried out by Thailand's Chulalongkorn University which found Pueraria mirifica therapy was able to enhance breast size by 80%. Further tests carried out in England found that the plant had a beneficial effect on the skin, and hair, as well as the breasts.

Bloody brits.

A woman has come up with a novel use of the Freedom of Information Act - to find out how many eligible bachelors belong to her local police force.

The woman made an anonymous inquiry to Hampshire Constabulary to find out the current number of single officers. She also asked to know their email and home addresses and their promotion and pension prospects.

The force declined to give out personal details but revealed there were 2,000 single officers in the county. It also told her that there were 266 police bachelors in the specific area she was inquiring about, 201 of whom were in uniform.

A spokeswoman for the force told the BBC News website: "It caused a few smiles here."
