Researchers at China's Bureau of Surveying and Mapping have discovered that the thickness of snow on Everest's peak has decreased during the last 30 years.

However the scientists do not say by how much the 29,035-feet peak has shrunk.Using a global positioning satellite system, researchers have also discovered that Everest is moving between 2.4 and 2.8 inches north east every year.

China has carried out surveys of Mount Everest and the area to the north of the mountain three times in 1966, 1975 and 1992

Crazy Granny And Her Grenade

A 73-year-old grandmother has walked into a police station in Canada, pulled a hand grenade out of her handbag and asked the desk sergeant: "Is this dangerous?"

Police in Edmonton had to evacuate the building and bomb experts had to be called to deal with the device which she said had been in her house for years after her husband brought it back from the war.

Sergeant Lance Lillies said: "The second I saw it I knew what it was and the pin was out. There was no point taking a chance, so we had to evacuate the station. If it had been dropped or fallen the wrong way there was a risk it would go off."

Experts used an explosive charge to disable the grenade but found it had already been diffused, reports the Edmonton Sun.

Teacher In A Hot Water Over A Student Shower Dream

A male teacher who told a girl pupil he dreamt he was in a shower with her risks being fired after the girl's mother read about it in her daughter's diary, a newspaper reported Monday.

Goteborgs Posten said the girl had laughed off the incident two years ago and the teacher had since apologized, but when her mother complained the local council near Gothenburg first suspended the teacher then said it would dismiss him.

The teacher was first charged with sexual harassment but the case was dismissed when the girl failed to give evidence.

The newspaper said the man's trade union was fighting his dismissal and several parents and school staff were also backing the teacher.

Whacky Muslims
(Before any of you jump on my ass, I'm Muslim thus I can make fun of this)
Recurring Themes
Among the latest Muslim "fatwas" (religious rulings):

• Men and women must use separate checkout counters in supermarkets (Malaysia, April).
• Husbands may hit their wives "gently," "as a warning," but must take care not to hit them in the face (Turkey, July).
• Having a spouse who smokes is a legitimate ground for divorce (Egypt, July).
• No shopping at a discount store (Egypt, June).
• Women caught working for British-funded aid organizations will be kidnapped and forcibly married, in order to keep them at home (Pakistan, August).
• And an October fatwa by the Egyptian Islamic Group instructed disciples to "kill Jews wherever they are found."
  
  Now this is what bugs me, I'm Muslim. But, I never heard of laws like this back in my homeland (Bosnia). As soon as some of you read this you will jump to the conclusion that Muslims are freaks. True, some of them are. But, mostly some of the Arabic countries. It's really sad how the bitches are being treated at some of these places but at the same time I can somehow understand it because it's their way of life.
  Although I'm Muslim, I'm a cracker and part time Atheist. The country where I lived never had laws like this, women are allowed to wear whatever they want and of course, can bang anyone at any time. Why did I just tell you all of this? I have no idea.
