• ZELDA MOVIE - THE HERO OF TIME - NEW TRAILER
  If you've never played a game in Nintendo's "Zelda" series (and if you haven't, why not? They're officially the "Best Games Ever?"), you'll most likely think that this clip looks like the biggest pile of hokey rubbish you've ever seen, with below-par effects and terrible acting. If, on the other hand, you've played 7-10 of the Zelda games (like me), and absolutely loved them, you'll probably be looking forward to seeing this as much as you were looking forward to seeing Lord of the Rings in 2001, and the choral version of the Song of Time playing over the end credits of the clip will most likely make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Or maybe it's just me.

  'In the Okinawa Churaumi Aquarium in Japan, the main tank called the "Kuroshio Sea" holds 7,500-cubic meters (1,981,290 gallons) of water and features the world's second largest acrylic glass panel, measuring 8.2 meters by 22.5 meters with a thickness of 60 centimeters. Whale sharks and manta rays are kept amongst many other fish species in the main tank.' Absolutely stunning.

• Benefits of Drinking Raw Milk
  Raw Milk (as in non-pasteurised) is better for you. "?Pasteurized milk has up to a 66 percent loss of vitamins A, D and E. Vitamin C loss usually exceeds 50 percent. Heat affects water soluble vitamins and can make them 38 percent to 80 percent less effective. Vitamins B6 and B12 are completely destroyed during pasteurization." So what's the point? It doesn't even go off quicker than pasteurised milk, and is full of those much-lamented "friendly bacteria".
