Madame Tussaud's forced to break up waxwork

LONDON, England (Reuters) -- Sculptors in London's Madame Tussaud's museum were forced to break up a waxwork figure of Hollywood superstars Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston embracing following their separation last month.

"It involved quite a lot of work, because they were entwined and had their arms around each other," said museum spokeswoman Diane Moon Monday. "Jen had one of her hands on Brad's chest and her other hand was resting on his bottom."

The procedure, which involved remolding their arms, cost around 10,000 pounds, or the equivalent of $19,000, and the separated figures have been put back on display with their backs to each other.

Pitt, one of Hollywood's leading stars, and Aniston, who became a household name on the television series "Friends," were married in July 2000 and their entwined figure was installed in July 2004, after the museum decided they were a "safe couple."

The only other couple to be installed in the wax museum was actors Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, but they were separate figures.

Despite the cost of separation, Moon is hopeful the couple, who separated in January this year, will reunite.

"We would like them to get back together again because that would be a nice happy ending and we don't mind spending the money entwining them again," she said.

This is fun - The Baby Name Wizard

I find this oddly intriguing. If you type in a name, you will get a graph that shows the popularity of names over the years. Mine hit a peak in the 1930's, but it's decline really began in the 60's. I'm just glad my parents didn't name me Rainbow.

Gays outraged by penguin sex test

If they lived in Ontario, they could get married!

From the BBC World News Service:

Gay rights activists have protested at a north German zoo's plans to test the sexual orientation of six male penguins which have displayed homosexual traits.

Bremerhaven's Zoo am Meer said it would introduce four extra female penguins from Sweden to the group to see if the males really were gay.

But zoo director Heike Kueck said "gay groups worldwide have been cursing us since that announcement".

The zoo says it just wants to encourage the rare Humboldt penguins to breed.

The males have been observed trying to mate with each other and trying to hatch offspring out of stones.

"We don't know whether the three male pairs are really homosexual or whether they have just bonded because of a shortage of females," said Mrs Kueck, quoted by Germany's Der Spiegel news magazine.

Gay groups insisted that penguins had a right to form couples without human interference, she said.

"Nobody here wants to forcibly separate homosexual couples," she said.

Only one baby Humboldt penguin has been born at the zoo, which has six males and four females, Der Spiegel reports.

What if someone just looses an eye?

Happy Groundhog Day!

Wiarton Willie

Well, it seems that Wiarton Willie came out today and did not see his shadow, which means that it will be an early spring (at least here in Ontario).

There is a bit of conflict between Willie and some of his woodchuck cousins. Shubenacadie Sam of Nova Scotia and Pennsylvania's Punxutawney Phil both saw thier shadows this morning, a possible indication of a longer winter.

All things considered, they are still probably more accurate than The Weather Network.
