'We're sorry that our president is an idiot.'
Tom Bihn credits a small label in his backpacks, messenger bags and laptop bags for doubling his sales. The label reads, "Nous sommes desoles que notre president soit un idiot. Nous n'avons pas vote pour lui."
For non-French speakers, that's "We are sorry that our president is an idiot. We did not vote for him."

Sex, the final frontier: Nasa acts to ensure that astronauts don't follow their urges
In the First World War, frontline troops who were away from their loved ones for long periods famously had bromide put into their tea to reduce the distraction of their sexual drive. But yesterday it was suggested that such measures might be taken a lot further - to Mars, in fact.

Sauerkraut seeks new image
Germans may be known around the world as "krauts" because of their fondness for chopped pickled cabbage, but sauerkraut producers fear demand is sliding and are trying to give the vegetable a new image.
How about sauerkraut as a topping on pizza? Or sauerkraut sushi? Sauerkraut spring rolls? Sauerkraut lasagna? Or sauerkraut fish gratin? Ever had sauerkraut stuffed peppers? Peppermint sauerkraut sorbet? Or even sauerkraut cakes?

Hooking the Gullible
Fish researchers analyze the science of a lure
Just about everywhere you go in the National Fresh Water Fishing Hall of Fame and Museum in Hayward, Wis., you'll find lures. On the walls and in display cases, vast arrays of fishing lures dominate the exhibits. Many of the baits mimic a fish's natural prey, such as insects, small fish, and frogs. One lure appears to be a creature straight from the Star Wars cantina.

Siemens SX1 smart phone
Siemens comes relatively late to the smart phone market. Its first handset of that type, the SX1, finally began shipping in the UK in March, despite being pitched by Siemens as the next big thing more than a year ago.
Back in 2003 when Siemens chiefs were telling Symbian developers what a difference the SX1 would be, it was only up against the imperfect Sony Ericsson P800, some clunky Nokias and Handspring's slow Treo 300. Since then, PalmOne/Handspring has shipped the impressive Treo 600 and Siemens' rivals in the mobile phone business, Nokia and Sony Ericsson, have shipped the 6600 and the P900, respectively.
