World's most disgusting ice cream
Well, the Metro.Co.UK , first described the Aunt Bessie's treat as "the world's most disgusting ice cream," and captioned a photo of the Banger and Mash Cone with the word "horrible" repeated seven times. The folks from Aunt Bessie's, apparently distressed by the review, arrived at the Metro writer's desk with a load of bangers and mashed potatoes, hoping to change his opinion. He did, sort of. And he gave Aunt Bessie some suggestions for improvement, such as creating a swirl of gravy throughout the mash, kind of like caramel swirling through vanilla ice cream. The cone unfortunately was not acceptable, as it disintegrated very quickly with the load of Bangers and Mash atop it.

We’ve all made mistakes … but probably not big mistakes like making snot beer, saying no to The Beatles, or turning down the patent for the telephone.

US-Physiker Wheeler gestorben
Er hat dem Schwarzen Loch seinen Namen gegeben und war einer der größten Physiker seiner Zeit. Jetzt ist John Archibald Wheeler im Alter von 96 Jahren gestorben.
Wheeler erlag am Sonntag in seinem Haus in Hightstown (US- Bundesstaat New Jersey) den Folgen einer Lungenentzündung, sagte seine Tochter Alison Wheeler Lahnston der "New York Times". Wheeler galt als einer der herausragenden theoretischen Physiker des 20. Jahrhunderts. Er arbeitete mit Albert Einstein und Niels Bohr zusammen und hatte großen Einfluss auf die Entwicklung der Allgemeinen Relativitätstheorie. 1939 entwickelte er gemeinsam mit Bohr ein Modell zur Erklärung der Kernspaltung.
