A Virgin Media Australia ad by Euro RSCG agency featuring Brad Pitt’s less famous brother Doug.
“Doug’s just a regular guy,” says the agency — a down-to-earth suburban dad who “washes his own car, pays his own bills, and does his own laundry.” And for that he deserves to be treated like a star.
Fine, but the guy really is Brad Pitt’s brother, Doug.

I’ve lived in Cork bout 12 years and only noticed this the last day. If it was Cockpit Lane I’d understand, there might be some aeronautical reference, but Cock Pit Lane just begs the question of where this name came from.
Irish scholars?
The Polaroid Z2300 Instant Digital Camera, due out this August: a 10MP sensor and optional 2x3in ‘smudge-proof’, sticky-backed prints from its onboard Zink printer.

HISTORY WILL be made this morning on the French/Swiss border, as most of us are munching cornflakes or struggling to work through the rush hour. Scientists at Cern, the European centre for nuclear research, are expected to announce the discovery of the Higgs boson – what people can’t resist calling the “God particle”.
And while its announcement won’t stop the cornflakes going soggy or make the traffic go faster, the final discovery of Higgs will rank as one of the greatest scientific achievements of all time.
News of the discovery was reportedly ‘leaked’ yesterday in a video from CERN, which turned out to be one of several pre-prepared announcements, depending on the official outcome.
