Scientists have found that cases of heart attack can rise dramatically during the excitement of watching crucial sporting events, so be zen about your sports boys.

Yes... yes... it's crucial. I need input. I need loud, outspoken views. Be as straight forward as you need to be. Would you, or wouldn't you, buy a house with only a double shower on the main floor, and a simple bathtub/shower combo in the basement?

Carlsberg, in Copenhagen, has recently released a 10.5% beer, at the price tag of $400 a bottle. Frankly, I can't imagine spending that, ever. No matter how many lotteries I win. I'd feel guilt every time I, literally, pissed away that $400...

Had Ali Mohammud known he'd be living in a deep freeze during winter, he wouldn't have moved to Edmonton. "It's very cold and chilly, I just want to go home," said the 23-year-old, who moved to Edmonton from Mogadishu, Somalia, three months ago. "I wished that I...
