Fußball-EM: Holland droht mit Autobahn-Blockade
Kurz vor dem ersten Vorrundenspiel gegen Holland wird auf einer Internetseite dazu aufgerufen, die Überholspuren deutscher Autobahnen mit Wohnwägen zu blockieren. Wenige Tage zuvor hatte Holland der deutschen Mannschaft den 'Fußball-Krieg' erklärt.
Dabei steckten sie Nadeln in Voodoo-Puppen im Deutschland-Trikot, sangen Hasslieder und kündigten an, sich wieder mit einem deutschen Trikot den Hintern abwischen zu wollen.

"Fyooosh!" So long, Lake Chesterfield
Recent heavy rain may have washed Lake Chesterfield down the drain.
A sinkhole at the bottom of the 23-acre lake in Wildwood swallowed millions of gallons of water in a few days this week. The sinkhole "was just like a ticking time bomb," said geologist Dave Taylor. "It held for all this time, and finally it broke loose."

Elephant saved by lack of 'evidence'

Is Visual Radio a Nokia Innovation that Will Make a Difference?
Nokia will unveil its first mainstream flip phone and a music player next week, but industry observers said on Thursday the products would not inspire the ardor needed to claw back market share.
