Wisdom of age

A guy is 75 years old and loves to fish and play golf.
He was sitting in his boat the other day when he heard a voice say, "Pick me up."
He looked around and couldn't see any one. He thought he was dreaming when he heard the voice say again, "Pick me up." He looked in the water and there, floating on the top, was a frog.
The man said, "Are you talking to me?"
The frog said, "Yes, I'm talking to you. Pick me up.Then, kiss me and I'll turn into the most beautiful woman you have ever seen.I'll make sure that all your friends are envious and jealous because I will be your bride!"
The man looked at the frog for a short time, reached over, picked it up carefully, and placed it in his front breast pocket.
Then the frog said, "What, are you nuts? Didn't you hear what I said?I said kiss me and I will be your beautiful bride."
He opened his pocket, looked at the frog and said,"Nah, at my age I'd rather have a talking frog."

Seven great 'medical myths' revealed

Reading in dim light won't damage your eyes, you don't need eight glasses of water a day to stay healthy and shaving your legs won't make the hair grow back faster.

These well-worn theories are among seven "medical myths" exposed in a paper published in the British Medical Journal, which traditionally carries light-hearted features in its Christmas edition.

Two US researchers took seven common beliefs and searched the archives for evidence to support them.

Despite frequent mentions in the popular press of the need to drink eight glasses of water, they found no scientific basis for the claim.

The complete lack of evidence has been recorded in a study published the American Journal of Psychology, they said.

The other six "myths" are:

Reading in dim light ruins your eyesight
Shaving makes hair grow back faster or coarser
Eating turkey makes you drowsy
We use only 10 per cent of our brains
Hair and fingernails continue to grow after death
Hair and fingernails continue to grow after death
Mobile phones are dangerous in hospitals

Amazing 3D street art brings Father Christmas's grotto to life

So that's where Santa lives - beneath the very pillar box where excited children post their letters to him.

As this amazing glimpse into his grotto shows, the letters drop straight down into his candle-lit den - where piles of presents wait to be delivered.

At least that is the magical scene that greets passers-by in this street in Dover.
