DAD jokes aren’t usually very funny - but the humour may go right out of them once you hear the results of a study published in the Journal of Alzheimer’s Disease. The University College London research claims that an increasingly warped sense of humour could be an early warning sign of looming dementia. A survey of the family and friends of 48 patients found that many had noticed a change in sense of humour of sufferers many years before they were diagnosed - including inappropriate laughter at tragic events. They postulated that it could be a sign of the development of frontotemporal dementia which often sees patients lose some of their inhibitions. The latest hot beauty trend is apparently spray-on nail polish. The innovation, from British group Nails Inc. is appropriately titled “The Paint Can” and is touted as being the world’s fastest manicure, taking just 20 seconds. It only comes in two colours - shiny silver and hot pink - and involves using a base coat and then spraying the product from a distance of 10-15cm as evenly as possible over the fingers or toes. Despite what you might think, it doesn’t create lots of mess, with any excess polish on the skin said to be easily removed with water.
