Pets on lap while driving may soon be a no-no in Calif.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) - Pull over and put down the dog. A California lawmaker wants to ban motorists from holding pets on their laps while driving and getting caught can net a $35 fine. The bill passed the Assembly on a 44-11 vote on Monday, and heads to the Senate.
Assemblyman Bill Maze says his legislation has nothing to do with pet-loving celebrities who are photographed driving around Los Angeles with their small dogs.
Maze says he introduced the bill after seeing a woman driving with three dogs on her lap.
He says pets are a distraction that put motorists and their passengers at risk.

Man seeks help for non-stop hiccups

A singer who estimates that he has hiccupped almost 10 million times in the last 15 months is to undergo an operation to cure him from the condition.
Christopher Sands has tried every possible cure for his hiccups
Christopher Sands, 24, has tried all manner of remedies - ranging from old wives’ tales like eating honey while hanging upside down, to hi-tech cures such as sitting in a compression chamber - since his hiccupping fit began in February 2007.
Now he is to undergo keyhole surgery after doctors diagnosed a damaged stomach valve. The faulty valve has been causing acid reflux - a condition where stomach acid leaks into the gullet causing heartburn and hiccups.

Meet Comet the Goldfish

Comet the goldfish may be the world's most intelligent fish after its owner, trained it to perform a range of aquatic activities. Comet can play football, basketball and even limbo dance under a bar. The genius of the water world can also play fetch with a hoop, slalom around a series of poles and push a rugby ball over a set of posts.

.

Dr Pomerleau, 41, from Los Angeles, used a training technique called positive reinforcement to train Comet to perform the tricks.
This involves rewarding the fish with food when it successfully completes a task. Dr Pomerleau insisted there was nothing fishy about his claim, saying anyone can teach their pet to perform similar tricks.

Rocky Fusses over Cindy

Giant Great Dane Rocky has landed himself a barmy new role – as the STEPMOM of an abandoned fawn.

Tiny doe Cindy was brought to a rescue center on the brink of death at a few days old. But the deer quickly developed a heart-warming bond with nine-stone Rocky, who belongs to a center boss.
Two weeks on the pooch has all but adopted his little pal, striking a watchful pose as she totters about. Pauline Kidner – founder of the center in Highbridge, Somerset – said: "It’s lovely to see. Rocky acts just like Cindy’s mom."

Dutch farmers tip-toe through the tulips

These photographs, were taken in the northern Netherlands.

The cultivation of flower bulb began more than 400 years ago and today Holland produces more than nine billion bulbs every year, of which two thirds are exported overseas.

Evenly distributed, this number would allow for almost two flower bulbs for every person on the planet.
