IT MUST BE TRUE… I read it in the tabloids

The National Mustard Museum in Wisconsin took a stand against Vladimir Putin, by removing all of its Russian mustards from display: a sign appeared on an empty shelf earlier this month, stating that the mustards would return only when “the invasion of Ukraine is over and Russia recognises and respects the sovereign nation of Ukraine”. However, after the decision provoked a flurry on Twitter, the mustards were returned. “We know that the makers of the Russian mustards are not responsible for the war in Ukraine,” said the museum’s founder, Barry Levenson. “That is why these Russian mustards are still on display.” A cyclist in London caused a stir last week by riding through rush hour traffic in nothing but socks, trainers and a helmet. Although naked, the man made sure to respect traffic lights. James Reynolds, the construction worker who took a picture, was initially “flabbergasted”, he said. “But this is London and I’ve worked in the city for ten years and nothing really surprises me anymore. So I thought, ‘Well, fair play to him’, and walked on.”

A Brazilian singer has revealed she was hospitalised because she was too embarrassed to fart in front of her boyfriend.Viviane de Queiroz Pereira, 27, recounted the ordeal on Instagram, where she said she’d woken up at 5:30am with “severe stomach pains” and had to seek medical attention. “Girls, don’t be ashamed to fart in front of your guy,” she wrote. More embarrassing than farting, she added, was “going to the hospital with your guy, and the diagnosis being ‘trapped farts’.”
