Oooh, a reunion of note
Ozzy and the boys are re-forming Black Sabbath, putting out their first new album for 33 years AND going on a world tour next year. I hope they stop off here in Kiwi land.

OMG: A 45kg scrotum?
I suppose it makes you appreciate our heath-care system when you read stories like this: some poor bugger in the United States has scrotal elephantiasis, which means his crackers are ginormous.
