Dog feels below par after eating 28 golf balls


Vets cut open a German Shepherd dog to find she had eaten no fewer than 28 golf balls.

Rätsel um Tod von Sherlock Holmes Experten


Ein mysteriöser Todesfall beschäftigt Großbritannien. Der bekannte Sherlock-Holmes-Experte Richard Lancelyn Green wurde tot in seinem Bett aufgefunden - mit einem Schuhband erdrosselt und von Stofftieren umgeben. Unklar ist laut britischer Polizei allerdings, ob es sich bei dem bizarren Tod um Mord, Selbstmord oder einen Unfall bei einer nicht alltäglichen Sexpraktik handelt. Gerüchte um den alten Fluch des Conan Doyle - Erfinder des mützentragenen Meisterdetektivs Holmes - nähren nun die Spekulationen weiter.

Please Remove This Feed
Google News RSS Feeds No More


Sorry folks, but I'm pulling the plug. Two reasons:

It was taking more and more bandwidth to offer these feeds. Before I took it down, I was getting roughly 3 hits per second. That's 10800 per hour, 259,200 per day, 94,608,000 per year... you get the idea. In more realistic numbers, each hit was about 10KiB (thanks to the fact that nearly NO RSS aggregators request inline gzip compression); that comes out to about 75GiB transfer per month. I started providing these feeds so there could be news headlines on the intranet of my former employer. I made the service (and the source) public with the intention of other people downloading the source and doing the same as me. But instead, everybody list pointed their aggregators to my site instead. Don't get me wrong, I'm not mad or blaming anyone. I'm just saying I can't support this level anymore. <P></P><CENTER>
