SO a special baby formula’s out
of the question then?
An Indian woman, Couthi Bai,
hailing from the village of Kilchu
has made headlines after
revealing her rather unusual
mothering skills revolving around
her care of a month old calf.
According to reports Bai has
been breast feeding the young
bovine since her mother died
when she was just three days old.
Considering it a sacred duty, Bai
suckles the calf four times a day,
and suppliments her breast milk
diet with water, grass and flatbread.
“For me, there is no difference
between a calf and an infant,”
Bai said.
“The gods will be pleased if I
raise her,” she added.
YEASTY goodness braught up
from Davy Jones’ locker.
Lovers of a nice frothy ale will
be excited to learn that researchers
have un-earthed (or rather unsea-
ed) what they believe to be
the oldest cache of beer ever.
Discovered at the site of an unidentified
200 year old Baltic Sea
shipwreck 50 metres below the
surface the beer was preserved
because the constant temperature
and light levels provided “optimal
conditions for storage”.
In addition, the pressure in the
bottles prevented seawater
seeping in through the corks.
Subsequent taste tests of the
dark frothy liquid by scientists
recorded positive results, with
researchers saying they “quite
liked it”.
Also onboard the wreck is what’s
believed to be dozens of bottles
of the world’s oldest champagne.

put on display after she dies.
“My wife has always dreamt
that her beauty would be
immortal,” he said, adding that
German anatomist Gunther von
Hagens (famous for his
plastinated body exhibitions)
should be the man for the job.
