Off the Record
TV addict owl!
BEIJING: An owl in the southern Chinese province of Jiangxi likes television so much that he has built a nest in a farmer's house so that he can watch the silver screen every night, the China daily said yesterday, reports Reuter.
One evening in April 1992, the owl flew into the large home of farmer Zhang Liuyou, perched on a beam and started watching the television together with the family, it said.
For the next three weeks, the owl came back, sometimes perching on the dinner table, and became a TV addict.
In spring 1993. the owl built a nest under the eaves of the house where he sleeps during the day and watches the magic box perched on the beams or on the dinner table, the newspaper added.
Now they are proud of it
NEW YORK: Tens of thousands of people, from men dressed as fairies on stilts to Buddhists to police officers, celebrated then homosexuality and mourned losses to AIDS as they marched Sunday in the annual gay pride parade, reports AP.
No arrests were reported in the parade down Fifth Avenue as rumours that marchers might disrobe in front of St. Patrick's Cathedral proved groundless.
One woman did briefly bare her breasts but was not arrested. Two men on a float simulated a sex act but kept their shorts on. they seemed to particularly relish performing in front of about 15 counterdemonstrators, including neo-Nazis shouting "Sieg heil" and giving the Nazi salute.
Some marchers chanted "shame, shame" as they passed the Roman Catholic cathedral, the focus of gay protests because of Cardinal John O’Connor's past condemnations of homosexuality.
But shortly before the parade started, the cardinal delivered a conciliatory sermon at St. Patrick's.
Olympic diving champion Greg Louganis, who made public his homosexuality a year ago and more recently disclosed that fie is HIV positive, helped lead the parade as a grand marshal.
Winter not winter in case of pregnancy
ROME: Women are more likely to become pregnant in the tall of winter than in the spring or summer, according to a study by Italian researchers released on Thursday, reports AFP.
Seasons influence fertility because pf the changing light and temperature that accompanies them, according to a research team from the University of Cagliari in Sardinia.
The ideal conditions for human conception is 12 hours of light and a minimum temperature of 12 degrees Celsius (54 degrees Fahrenheit). Any variation from that lessens fertility, the researchers found.
The study also found that artificial conception was more likely to be successful in winter then in summer.
