Today's SMH reports that 'Hundreds of men at the Bulga mine in the Hunter Valley have been attending classes on menopause and foreplay - because, according to management, a sexless miner "can get mighty grumpy at work" and affect production. And the men, aged from 20 to 60, have been transfixed, asking why women menstruate and seeking tips on how they can "explore the wife again".' In World affairs, we are told that 'Posters of a rosy, puffy cheeked newborn baby have provoked controversy in Italy because the infant is shown wearing a wristband name-tag with the word "homosexual" written on it. The photograph of the baby is part of a anti-discrimination campaign launched by Tuscany's regional government and is accompanied by the slogan: "Sexual orientation is not a choice."

Whilst MX tells us that 'The (travelling)Museum of Broken Relationships asks people to donate mementos of everything from short flings to painful divorces. Yesterday in Berlin, an axe used to break an ex's furniture was added to the 300 exhibits.' Also, 'An Australian barmaid has been fined for crushing beer cans between her bare breasts, while an off-duty colleague has been fined for hanging spoon's from her friend's nipples.' Whatever will they think of next then, hey?
