AT least it’s good for your skin.
First there was planking, and
now there’s milking, a less
dangerous internet craze which
involves people filming
themselves pouring milk over
their heads in public.
So far ‘milking’ clips have been
filmed outside pubs, at
roundabouts, in a tree and even
in the middle of the road.
The craze was kicked off by
university students from the elite
Oxford college in Britain.
“We were just in our kitchen
talking about doing it outside
Starbucks in Jesmond and
thought it would be really funny,”
said student Tom Morris.
“We did that, uploaded the
video to Facebook and got a load
of likes.
“So then we thought: ‘Why not
just make a video?’,” he added.
From this seed, the craze grew,
with students from Oxford,
Edinburgh, Nottingham and
Cirencester also getting in on the
‘milking’ act.
NATO scientist's solo mission.
Retired NATO scientist, Robin Lovelock, is about to see the fruits of four years of his labour, when he launches his 4-foot Snoopy Sloop on the first ever unmanned sailing across the Atlantic Ocean. Weighing in at a mere 13 kilos the boat was constructed in Lovelock’s games room from parts sourced from the internet and his home (including bathroom light cord) and cost a grand total of $680 to make. Powered by the wind and navigated by Lovelock via a solar powered computer and GPS, the boat will sail along the English Chanel, before making its way south around the Azores, to catch the trade winds in the Bahamas and then onto Plymouth, in the US state of Massachusetts.
