Directions: drink once in life. Whether it’s just a model or not, people may no longer need the medical profession, with visitors heading to San Isidro basilica in Spain after historians have made the bold claim that a cup on display at the church is the Holy Grail.

Two historians said Egyptian parchments found at Cairo’s University of al-Azhar set them on a three year investigation which culminated with them identifying the goblet, the Guardian reported.

Getting too close. This is always an option if you have a spate of discourteous dog owners outside your pharmacy - a woman in the UK has taken to decorating dog poo with strawberries and cream.
