Viagra renders fighter pilots a potent force

Israeli fighter pilots may soon be receiving Viagra-style pills to help them to perform better at greater heights, according to a study by military officials released yesterday.

While the potential use of antiimpotence pills may make pilots’ enemies in the Middle East crack a joke or two at their expense, military researchers believe the ingredients that allow improved blood flow for men suffering from sexual problems may help flyers operating at very high altitudes.

As long as they can ease off on the throttle when necessary, I'm sure it will help.

It's always tough to extend flaps or landing gear at top speed - what if the pilot needs to make an emergency landing, perhaps due to lack of fuel?

What I want to know: are their flights limited to four hours or less without seeking medical help?

Ohio does have the Rock 'n Roll Museum - the obvious home for the rock.

Lawmakers in Georgia said a survey that was done in the early 1800s marked its border wrong.

Georgia lawmakers said the border is supposed to be the 35th parallel, but an 1818 survey put it just about a mile south of there, and they said they want a new survey.

“I think 190 years of uncertainty needs to come to an end. I'm not seeking to move the border, I simply want to have the border accurately surveyed and correctly marked,” said Georgia state Rep. David Shafer.

It's no secret that Georgia has had some water woes, and if the border is moved, it will annex a portion of the Tennessee River.

“The Tennessee River clearly flows south of the 35th parallel and through Georgia,” Shafer said.

Oh noes; a disaster looms!

According to the IAS, restrictions on lower-skilled workers from outside the EU are causing a labour shortage so severe it could cause "irreparable damage" to the curry industry.

It argues that attempts to get eastern Europeans to work in curry restaurants have failed because they do not have the "cultural sensitivity" required.

Polish curry anyone?

But government officials said they had no plans to review the curry arrangements.

Another reason to despise the EU.
