Dangerous green pit viper

There are various snakes in forests which are as dangerous as would kill man. While browsing I came across Gumprecht's green pit viper and wish my readers to know about this. This striking bright green snake, commonly known as Gumprecht's green pit viper, is found in the Southeast Asian region of Greater Mekong. The serpent, which has the formal name Trimeresurus gumprechti, was first described by scientists in 2002, although he doesn't look like he appreciates having been discovered.

A Cow to Temple

A British animal welfare charity said on Saturday that it would donate a cow to a temple north of London, in a bid to repair relations that were damaged last year when a sacred cow was put down. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (RSPCA) said it was apologizing for the "hurt" caused when the 13-year-old Belgian Blue-Jersey cross, Gangotri, was killed last December because it was in pain, but added that it was not apologizing for putting the animal down. Hundreds of Hindus protested outside RSPCA's offices last year, accusing it of secretly killing the animal. The Bhaktivedanata Manor in Hertfordshire, where the cow was housed and which was set up by former Beatle George Harrison, said the RSPCA would donate a Meuse-Rhine Issel cow.

Eat More

If you eat less food, your stomach will shrink. Dieters are often advised to decrease their intake of food in order to shrink the size of their stomach. However, while smaller portions will obviously help with weight-loss, the size of your stomach has nothing to do with the process. On average, the organ will maintain a constant volume throughout life, regardless of the amount of food that passes through it

Aamir Kahn's Security

Aamir Khan is clearly bold enough. While the actor did protest over the Mumbai attacks by wearing a black band, we did notice that he was indeed not accompanied by many security men as is often the case. "No I have not increased my security at all," he says responding to whether he has done a Bachchan, who has even kept a revolver for his security. "No I haven't bought any weapon also," he says quickly.
