Britain’s Most Under the Thumb Man Revealed

According to The Daily Mail twenty-five-year-old Mike Jeffries is Britain’s most henpecked man.  In the report it states that Mr. Jeffries is expected to use the toilet sitting down so as not to annoy his spouse when she uses it.  If he spends too long in the toilet the report states that his partner phones him to find out what is going on in there.  Mr. Jeffries has been instructed to spend less time with his best friend for fears they may be perceived as being a couple.

The report raised a number of questions here at Newsnibbles.

1. Why could Mr. Jefferies not just, out of courtesy for his partner simply put the lid of the toilet down after use?  Is there a hidden camera in the bathroom to monitor his bathroom activities?  The spray from a flushed toilet travels at least 5 meters out of the bowl,  so in the interests of hygiene and not wearing one’s own excrement on ones clothes for the day we would recommend that everyone, regardless of gender puts the lid down pre flush.
2. What does she think he’s doing when he is spending a little bit longer on the toilet?  And, why does he bring his phone to the toilet with him?
3. Is the prize for most henpecked man of going with some friends to a strip club going to do anything other than encourage the objectification of women?

Test Tube Burgers are the Future

It is not a coincidence that we watched the 1954 Flash Gordon this week.  A Dutch Scientist is working on making meat from cattle stem cells.  Whilst still in the experimental phase, manmade meat seems to be the way forward as meat consumption is expected to rise in the future.  This can only be good news for badgers.
