The Rest of the News

Dan Damon Dan Damon | 07:39 UK time, Thursday, 3 August 2006

To take your mind off the real news....

1. A new use for whale dandruff.

2. A chair for parents with annoying children

3. From the It Was Only A Matter Of Time department: a musical about Google

4. If you think you need a hobby, how about collecting antique robots?

5. Or if you need a new car and are worried about global developments?

6. For the tech minded Inuit?

7. Fairy tales come true.

8. Forget Scandinavian flat pack, try scaffold poles.

9. I wanted digitally enhanced cowbells to be real. They can't be, can they?

10. And if you suspect you know where the Real News is heading, something to practice on.
