What the Hell Is Novichok?

Just when you thought it was safe, the Russian nerve agent Novichok has reared its deadly head once again. Two people in Salisbury were infected this week after it is believed they picked up a contaminated item on the street. One of the victims passed away today and the second victim is still fighting for his life. It is believed the pair came in contact with the deadly nerve agent in a park near where a former Russian spy and his daughter were struck down a few months ago. A used cigarette butt has been named as a potential item.

Don’t Expect Santa Any Time Soon

You better not cry. The remains of Saint Nicholas aka Santa have been discovered in Turkey. Yes, his tomb has been discovered under an ancient church. No word on the fate of the reindeers. On the bright side, you don’t have to worry about being naughty this Christmas, Santa is dead….just saying.

RIP Hugh Hefner

Hugh Hefner dead at 91, a good innings for a man who spent half his life in PJs. I bet he died with a smile on his face!  The Playboy mansion will never be the same.

The Passing of An Australian Icon

One of Australia’s most beautiful voices is no more. Dr G. Yunupingu passed away yesterday. He was 46. So very sad.

One Less Chair At Christmas

Oh no, not Kim Jong-nam, the oldest bro of Kim Jong Un is no more. Seems our favourite little Disney loving Kim Jong has been murdered in spectacular fashion at a Malaysian airport.
Two alleged North Korean female assassins sprayed an unknown toxic chemical from a fountain pen (so 1970s) in his face as he waited for his flight. This apparently isn’t the first time his younger bro has tried to bump him off.  Nam is the oldest and, in theory, the true leader of North Korea which Kim Jong Un has never been happy about. He was the product of  Kim Jong-il’s affair with South Korean-born actress Song Hye-rim, but fell out of favour when he was caught trying to sneak into Japan under a false identity to visit Disneyland. Since then he has lived in exile trying to avoid his erratic brother. RIP fun loving Jong.

RIP Ronnie Corbett

Hello, Is That Stephen King?

Worst fear alert. A Chinese woman was found starved to death in an elevator in her apartment building. Evidently, she had been trapped in the lift for a month without anyone knowing. Scratch marks inside suggests she tried endlessly to get out. Many of the residents in the apartment building were away celebrating New Year festivities while the others used a second elevator unaware of the horror unfolding in the other lift.
