Miss Drunk Contest Is Held in Thailand
Most people would hate to be called a drunk, but Thailand's Arunothai Sriaran is wearing the epithet like a crown.
Arunothai was named "Miss Drunk" at a contest Thursday to promote Thai wines after downing five shots and walking a zigzag path between two rows of wine bottles without knocking them down.
"I was not drunk. Only a little bit dizzy. I was fine and refreshed after a cup of coffee and washing my face," Arunothai told The Associated Press on Friday.

OnHand PC
The OnHandPC has the power and memory of a Palm m100 in the size of a wrist watch. Batteries last up to several months which is pretty good compared to other devices like a Palm. The OnHand PC uses 2 lithium batteries which are actually really cheap. Replacement of these batteries can be done without loosing any information. A handy joystick will help you navigate applications. If you are a programmer, you can even develop your own applications in C.

Kein schlagkraeftiger Beweis
Die UNO-Waffeninspektoren haben im Irak am Donnerstag zwölf leere Sprengköpfe für Chemiewaffen entdeckt. Der Fund sei aber kein schlagkräftiger Beweis dafür, dass das Land verbotene Massenvernichtungswaffen besitzt, hieß es in einer Reaktion aus den USA. Der Irak beteuerte, die Sprengköpfe stünden nicht in Zusammenhang mit verbotenen Waffenprogrammen. UNO-Chefinspektor Blix hatte zuvor die Lage als "sehr gefährlich" bezeichnet.
