1) There are HUGE bunnies in Germany. Someone has suggested them to be sent to North Korea. I found this story when I googled "North Korea" today looking for a picture for the piece I put together, concerning May day politics. (I did not choose the monster rabbits pictured there, but for IStori, on the other hand, they are most suitable.)
2) The most expensive gadget in the world is a watch that does not tell the time. (Thanks for the hint, M.U.!)
Luxury watch that doesn't tell the time sells out
By Nick Pisa in Rome
A £150,000 watch that doesn’t even tell the time has sold out within hours of going on sale. The crocodile skin strap accessory, called “Day & Night”, is encrusted with sapphires and made from steel salvaged from the wreck of the Titanic. ISTORI: And you Swiss think that's supposed to be lucky material?
Its face is divided into two sections - a dark half to signify night and a lighter half to signify the day.
A limited number were made by Swiss manufacturers Romain Jerome and they sold out within 48 hours after being presented at a watch exhibition. The Brazilian footballer, Ronaldo, was given the first one. ISTORI: From whom did you get it – some fan of Inter Milan? (Ronaldo is playing with AC Milan.) --
They describe the timepiece as a “world unique - a watch that does not tell the time”.
“With no display for the hours, minutes or seconds the Day & Night offers a new way of measuring time, splitting the universe of time into two fundamentally opposing sections: day versus night.
“A new interpretation of time, an avant-garde approach that is different and even disturbing.”
Chief executive Yvan Arpa, said: “Anyone can buy a watch that shows time, but only a discerning customer can buy one that doesn’t.”

Oh no What a Rabbit :-))
I think they must be some kind of military weapons. If they were sent to North Korea, they'd eat the whole nation, I think. IStori
Hi I, weather in London seems cooler than here in Iraq where I am now. Just look the pictures in my blog! It is very very slow to put them here to internet so there is only 2 pictures.
