King's Cross bleibt King's Cross und St. Pancras bleibt St. Pancras
Wenn es um Werktreue geht, kennen gerade die jüngsten Zuschauer kein Erbarmen. Wachsame Cineasten entdeckten im neuen Potter-Film "Harry Potter und die Kammer des Schreckens" eine Reihe von Fehlern.

"Chamber of Secrets" Opening Magic
3rd best debut E V E R
Harry Potter was wizard this weekend, but he couldn't pull off quite as big a trick as last time.
As the new number one movie Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets earned an estimated $87.6 million.
A magic sum, but only the third best ever top mark, not as heavy duty as Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone's $90.2 million last year and - despite those giant spiders - not close to the A+ best ever total of $114.8 million spun up by Spider-Man this summer.

"It was Hitler's last secret weapon to win a war he had already lost long ago," criminologist Wolf Kemper told Focus magazine. He is about to publish a book on the Third Reich's use of drugs called Nazis on Speed.

Chocolate gets spicy
Once, the most unusual thing you might find inside a chocolate was a gooey maraschino cherry.
Now a bite might yield tea, tangerine or hibiscus.
Fritz Knipschildt, 30, a Dane who has been experimenting with chocolate since he was 12, offers melt-in-your-mouth flavours including tangerine with red chilli, white chocolate with cardamom, and apple with rosemary.
Completly WRONG This Guy makes the best spicy chocolate EVER.

Pentagon plant weltweites elektronisches Überwachungssystem
Datenschützer schlagen Alarm. "Scientia est potentia" - "Wissen ist Macht" lautet das Motto des Pentagon-Büros, das Admiral John Poindexter leitet. Und in seinem Fall bedeutet dies konkret: Datenbanken ermöglichen die Kontrolle über die Bürger.
