Speech!

A hotel in New Zealand has banned the wearing of Lycra during mealtimes, because non-wearers are offended by the bulges, curves etc.  Quite right too.  I'd much rather see a naked person at breakfast.

There's been an interesting breakthrough in stammering research.  Those clever scientist folk have found a gene that might be responsible for causing the stammer and have trialed in in mice.  I'm not sure a stammering mouse is easy to create, but seem to think they have, and the introduction of this gene appears to bring the stammer on.   Eventually, they hope to have a some sort of pharmaceutical treatment for this, instead of my overly kind mother's friends saying 'just slow down'.
