Thank God for nutcases.

A man in Brazil, Paulo Henrique dos Santos painted himself green after his comic superhero the Incredible Hulk. Problem was that the paint is used for nuclear submarines and ballistic missiles and is permanent. So now he is unable to get the paint off and is going around in his all green avatar. Gives new meaning to the term " going green ". A man in Wroclaw in Poland, Marek Olszewski dumped his wife, who is a dentist, for another woman. One month later he developed tooth ache and went to his wife for treatment. She anesthetised him, locked the door when he was unconscious and pulled out all his teeth. His new girlfriend promptly dumped him. Said Mr Olszewski that he was shocked when he went home and looked in the mirror to find the " the bitch had emptied my mouth ". He said," I'm going have to spend a fortune on getting indents or something." Moral of the story - If you dump your wife do not try to save money on dental treatment. The retail giant Tesco introduced ready-to-eat Spaghetti Bolognese in Britain with Italian names. One was called Le Palle de Nonno which translates to " grandad's b****cks " and another was called Coglioni di Mulo which translates to " donkey's b****cks ". Tesco spokesman admitted that they had made a boo boo. Clearly the Italian language is very rich with lots of words for b****cks. Scientists from Australia, South Africa and the US have collaborated to create a quantum computer composed of just 300 atoms. It needs a huge amount of technical infrastructure - vacuum chambers, pumps and lasers, all of which take up a room. So powerful is the quantum computer that it surpassed classical computing by 10 to the power of 80. University of Sydney's Michael Biercuk said," If you wanted to think how big a classical computer would need to be in order to solve this problem of roughly 300 interacting quantum particles, it turns out that the computer would need to be the size of the known universe - which is clearly something that's not possible to achieve." He went on to say," The quantum computer will move to a stage where it is so far out in front and performing such complex tasks it will be difficult to check if it is working accurately. They're not easily checked by a classical computer which opens a whole variety of problems." How useful is this quantum computer going to be if we cannot check its results? Why spend so much effort in creating it when no one will be able to use it? However, scientists can get away with being nutty, so that is alright. In this time of doom and gloom thank God there are some people who can be relied upon to do funny things.
