THE eyes have it.
A US pharmacist has foiled the
hopes of a would-be robber by
poking him in the eye.
Community pharmacist,
Michael Allgeier, had shut up
shop for the evening and was
chatting on the phone when two
masked attackers tried to pry their
way into the store with crowbars.
The quick thinking pharmacist
put down the phone, walked over
to the gap in the door which the
thieves had made, slid his hand
through, and gave one of the
men a good jab in the eye with
his index finger.
The shock of the eye poke sent
both men running, and left
Allgeier to alert the authorities.
THESE contestants will definitely
make the cut.
A beauty pageant has launched
this week in Hungary, but
participants in the Miss Plastic
2010 quest must have undergone
some sort of cosmetic surgery.
Entrants must be accompanied
by the medical notes from their
operations, and during the
competition extra points will be
added by a specialist medical
panel judging the quality of their
artificial enhancements.
The winner of the Budapest
competition will move on to face
off against contestants from other
oountries for the coveted title of
Miss Plastic Universe.
MOLES on the skin may actually
keep you younger on the inside,
according to researchers at King’s
College London.
The scientists carried out a
series of studies correlating the
number of moles that people had
with a range of other conditions.
They found that people with
large numbers of moles seemed
to be less vulnerable to wrinkles as
their skin aged.
Even more interestingly, they
found that moley people were less
affected by age-related reductions
in bone density.
Those with over 100 moles were
less than 50% as likely to develop
osteoporosis than those with 25.
