bitful

The BBC News website has recently introduced a new section entitled 'Also in the news…' where odd, weird and bizarre items from across the website are displayed together.

I found out the hard way, because Also in the news has replaced Entertainment as the last section in the BBC News website left hand side navigation (which I check to scan headlines, but not often enough to make me want to subscribe to the Entertainment feed). So now if I click without reading, I end up instead on a lovely collection of stories such as:

• India rattled by vibrating condom
  A vibrating condom has sparked a fierce debate in India, over whether it is a sex toy - which are banned - or a means of birth control.
• Snake bursts after gobbling gator
  An unusual clash between a 6-foot (1.8m) alligator and a 13-foot (3.9m) python has left two of the deadliest predators dead in Florida's swamps.
• Sudan man forced to 'marry' goat
  A Sudanese man has been forced to take a goat as his "wife", after he was caught having sex with the animal.

Mind you, it beats reading about this week's Britney wig colour.
