Sandwich Misslies

Lawyers, reporters and visitors have been banned from taking sandwiches into a court building to prevent them being used as missiles.Bottles of water and crisps are also prohibited at High Wycombe Magistrates' Court, in England, because they pose a "health and safety hazard." 

Visitors to all courts around the country are searched by security staff for knives and weapons as they enter. 
But staff at the court in High Wycombe have also been told to seize packed lunches.
Grieving families attending inquests into the deaths of loved ones were even told they could not bring in bottled water.
An official at the court said: "The concern is that people are going to use their food as a missile and fling it down the stairs at people.
"Apparently there have been incidents of lunches being thrown around in the past - so we have had to introduce these rules for everyone regardless of who they are or why they are here."

Hairy Treat

A jam made from Princess Diana's hair was sold out within days for about $7 a pot. Makers Bompas and Parr created the preserve for a surrealist exhibition at London's Barbican Exibition. The controversial conserve uses a speck of her hair purchased from a US dealer on eBay, the Daily Express reported on its website on Sunday. The jam could soon hit supermarket shelves after top retailers showed an interest in stocking it. Sam Bompas, who founded the catering company with school friend Henry Parr three years ago, said: "The milk jam takes a speck of Princess Diana's hair and infuses it in gin before it is turned into jam"

Cat Lover (of sorts)

Dogs love nothing more than to chew slippers,boots and bones but one tiny terrier managed to scoff an entire family of toy cats.Little Snowy,a one-year-old white West Highland terrier,weighs just 3.6kg (8lb) but still found room for the five ornaments.

The vet initially thought it was a joke when X-rays clearly revealed a cat peering out of the dogs belly.

We were all stunned.I have been a vet for 10 years and never saw an Xray like this, said Nigel Belgrove.Weve had dogs that have swallowed golf balls and batteries before but Snowy beats them all,hands down, he added.

The terrier began to worry her owner Samantha Reed,42,when she suddenly lost her appetite and started vomiting several times a day.Initially,it was thought Snowy reacted badly to dog food and the vet recommended a diet of rice and chicken.She remained ill so they took urine samples to test for a kidney problem and tried a course of antibiotics.
It was only when they took the Xray that the feline face emerged.The cats were removed last week in a onehour operation and Snowy is now recovering well.

DNA pigs

Legs of Spain's top Jamon Iberico now come with their own DNA certificate to prove they are the purest as well as the world's most expensive hams. Spain's top producer has enlisted the help of scientists to prove that his pigs are of the purebred Spanish variety and not crossed with lesser British or American breeds. Gourmets from across the globe are eagerly waiting for the hams, which will hit the market next month. Only 100 legs from the "prince of pigs" are available and with a starting price of 1,500 euros (£1,380) each, they have been dubbed by foodies as the "RollsRoyce of Spanish ham".
