"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.

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.
