JAPANESE KIDS have flown a plane which uses AA batteries as its power source.

They have claimed the flight is a first but for all we know it is a last, as well.

According to the Scotsman, the plane - a 44KG 31-metre baby flew 391 metres before the 160 AA batteries conked out.

The silly season is expected to increase its intensity next week, while this week in Blighty will be marked by "phew what a scorcher stories", with the temperature set to hit 35° C in London this Wednesday. µ

Authorities in several countries raided Megaupload recently, shut down all of its services, seized hundreds of servers and arrested several of its executives on criminal charges.

Do you think the move was justified?

Yes, companies should suffer an immediate death penalty upon being accused of copyright infringement.

Yes, the coppers said the company was breaking the law so it must be guilty.

No, the company and the people accused are innocent until proven guilty.

No, the company had millions of customers who have been harmed by having access to their data files cut off.

I don't care, I never used Megaupload anyway.
