IS THIS some sort of a yolk - egg producers have accused Google of cracking up, after the internet giant removed an image of a boiled egg from their salad "emoji" in order to make it more inclusive to vegans.
The change was unveiled by Google User Experience manager Jennifer Daniel, who tweeted: "may I direct your attention to the salad emoji - we've removed the egg in Android P beta 2, making this a more inclusive vegan salad".
The move has outraged the British Egg Industry Council, which noted that egg sales are up by 5%.
"Many people love them so it seems a shame for the majority to be missing out due to concern for offending one group."
Researchers at America's St Louis University are looking for volunteers to stay in the so-called "Hotel Influenza" as part of a universal flu vaccine study.
The project requires participants to take at least 10 days off work and comes with a payment of US$3,500 - but the catch is that you have to be intentionally exposed to influenza.
The university has converted a 24-room hotel into a research centre, with participants cared for around the clock by nurses, and have access to TV, internet and private bathrooms.
Volunteers will be given a dose of an experimental vaccine or placebo - and will then be infected with a dose of flu virus delivered via nasal spray.
