CAVEMAN influenza.
Researchers have revived a virus
from Siberian permafrost more
than 30,000 years old - and said
virus is new to science.
The virus infected amoebae and
was not a threat to humans, the
Sydney Morning Herald reported,
but raised the possibility that
viruses which do harm humans
could be lurking in the ice.
How’s THAT for a B-grade horror
movie?
NOW that’s low.
Counterfeiters have cheated
Girl Scouts not once, but twice,
using fake bills to pay for cookies
and then getting change for the
‘purchase’.
At least two thieves used the
scam, in two different locations
in Rancho Cucamonga, setting
the organisation back by about
US$200, the Sideshow reported.
The Girl Scouts even used a
‘counterfeit pen’ on the cash to
check, which didn’t pick up the
fakes and the troop leader has
described it as a “life lesson”, the
publication reported - presumably
to take classes on counterfeiting
detection.
TWO million retweets record.
Another record crashed along
with Twitter, temporarilly at
least, when host Ellen DeGeneres
posted a selfie with a few friends
at the Oscars recently.
The ‘friends’ were fellow celebs
Jennifer Lawrence, Meryl Streep,
Kevin Spacey, Brad Pitt, Julia
Roberts, Bradley Cooper and
Lupita Nyong’o.
DeGeneres encouraged the
billion-strong audience to retweet
the pic to beat the record, passing
the 2m mark in 40 minutes.
BEST. Omelette. Ever.
If you’re an aspiring cook, look
away - a drunken NZ man broke
into a stranger’s house and made
an omelette with eggs, honey,
butter chicken sauce and cayenne
pepper, stuff.co.nz reported.
