UK : Wales/Cymru : Welsh wisdom.. for some years the EU has been trying to implement an ID/monitoring database to keep track of sheep. (A similar database has already been in operation for several years for tracking cows.)
This was the response from Wales..

Asked about the European Union proposal for an electronic identity system for sheep, the Welsh MP Mark Williams said in a parliamentary question: “We already have a robust system of identifying a species. If it's woolly and goes ‘baa’, it's a sheep.”
Nitrous Oxide to be purged from clubs The full story is here ...
http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article1475252.ece
The annoying thing about this story is their main concern seems to be Hypoxia, lack of oxygen to the brain. The death they quote was unusual in that the guy had wired himself up to a whole cylinder with a mask, thus ensuring he could get no oxygen - a balloon is a different matter. Also this guy had bought it himself, not from a club or party....it could be argued that this death has simply demonstrated that its far safer to do whippets from a balloon in a club, than to buy a large bottle of nos for home use through a mask!!!!!!
........................................
Nightclubs, bars and festivals that sell nitrous oxide face prosecution as part of a purge on the recreational use of the chemical.
Drug regulators said yesterday that anyone supplying the compound, commonly known as laughing gas, for recreational inhalation was complicit in an activity that carried serious health risks and would be prosecuted.
The Medicines and Health-care products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) said that the maximum penalty for supplying nitrous oxide in contravention of the Medicines Act was two years’ imprisonment or an unlimited fine.
Use of nitrous oxide has surged in popularity in recent years as a cheap, seemingly harmless and supposedly legal “high”.
However, while its use as a medical anaesthetic and in some food products, such as canisters of whipped cream, is permitted, only pharmacists are legally allowed to supply it in a gas form.
The crackdown by the MHRA follows the death of a 23-year-old company manager in Birmingham.
Although the gas is not toxic, excessive inhalation can cause hypoxia — a lack of oxygen in the brain — which led to the death of Daniel Watts, whose body was found at his home next to a large cylinder of nitrous oxide.
April fool’s spoofs :laugh_at::laugh_at:
April fools day

It's 50 years since Panorama pulled off the most celebrated April Fool's spoof and duped Britain - and beyond - about spaghetti crops in Switzerland. So what makes a great April Fool's joke?
Panorama's now infamous spaghetti-tree spoof is considered a broadcasting milestone as it is believed to be the first time television was used to stage an April Fool's hoax.
Made on a budget of just £100, it told the tale of spaghetti harvesting in Switzerland and described how the seemingly bumper crop was at risk of late frosts, creating a disastrous situation for growers all over Europe.
The spoof documentary showed people in the Swiss Alps plucking strands of spaghetti from trees and laying it in the sun to dry.
That it fooled so many was in part down to the fact that pasta, at the time, was deeply exotic in a nation reared on meat and two veg. Then there was the commentary provided in serious, hushed tones by that giant of broadcasting, Richard Dimbleby.
The hoax repeatedly tops lists of April Fool's gags, which typically include the one about moving Stonehenge to the base of Mount Fuji in Japan, plans to make the whole M25 run clockwise and anti-clockwise on alternate days, the internet being shut down for cleaning for 24 hours, whistling carrots, left-handed hamburgers and Big Ben going digital.
Part of the charm of April Fool's is that it's an equal-opportunity day, say fans. From whoopee cushions to TV pranks broadcast across the world, almost everybody has the chance to join in. It is a global phenomenon, with most cultures having a version of it.
Fool's equation
But only a few gags achieve the longevity of the Panorama stunt, which is still talked and written about across the world 50 years on. So what makes a great April Fool's joke?
A really good gag needs to be both ridiculous and believable, say those who have studied the craft. It's a hard trick to pull off and most pranksters end up with jokes that are ridiculous, but not at all believable, says Alex Boese, curator of the Museum of Hoaxes in San Diego, California.
"The really good ones succeed at making us believe something that we recognise, in hindsight, we really shouldn't have believed because it's completely preposterous," he says.
"In a humorous way they teach us something about the limits of our own knowledge. They show us how unfamiliar many of the things around us - that we take for granted - are."
The question has employed some of the world's finest brains. The eminent wartime scientist Reginald Jones, who headed the Directorate of Scientific Intelligence at the Air Ministry during World War II, researched the perfect April Fool's gag. He came up with the equation: induction followed by incongruity.
'Trustworthy style'
"Basically he was saying lull them into a false sense of security, then drop in absurdities that just keep getting more and more extreme," says Martin Wainwright, author of the newly published Guardian Book of April Fool's Day.
Both Boese and Wainwright rank the Panorama prank as the best ever. It pulled off the trick of not only fooling the easily persuaded, but also left the sceptics with a nagging doubt about whether it was true or not.
One of the things that makes it so great is that it was executed by a programme synonymous with sober and serious reporting. Getting the authoritative figure of Dimbleby to do the commentary was also a master move.
"Television was limited in those days to one BBC and one ITV channel and it was possible for a programme like Panorama to hold the nation's attention in a way inconceivable nowadays," says Wainwright.
"Small details like the ageing wicker harvest baskets added to the realistic air. In his engaging and entirely trustworthy style, Dimbleby told the audience 'we end Panorama tonight with a special report from the Swiss Alps'. Cue the marvellous film, brilliant commentary and the swelling music."
Political prisoners
There was always the risk that it might offend, and some people did complain to the BBC, but most loved it. Tony Frost e-mailed the BBC's On This Day website with his memories of the hoax - he was eight at the time.
"It wasn't until many years later, when I was in my late teens, that I realised this was perhaps not the case [that spaghetti grew on trees].
Even now, as an adult, I'm hopeful of spotting one or two trees as I drive around the country and the Continent. It's one of the great April Fool's jokes and one I'll always cherish."
An indication of its quality is that every time it's shown, people still fall for it, says Wainwright.
But there is a serious side to pulling off a successful prank. A gag should do no harm and should not place anyone in a dangerous situation, say the experts.
Disregarding these rules can have serious consequences. A town clerk in Canada had a heart attack after his colleagues played an April Fool's joke on him. They sent an e-mail saying the deadline for a big project he was working on had been moved forward a week. He survived, but the council passed a resolution banning April Fool's jokes.
This also applies to the emotional, as well as the physical, fallout. There is a fine line between catching someone out and humiliating them or hurting their feelings.
"In Romania, during the Ceausescu era, one newspaper printed an article as an April Fool's joke saying all political prisoners were being freed," says Wainwright.
"People started turning up at prisons and waiting for family and friends to be released. It didn't go down well when it was revealed to be a hoax."
Saddam Hussein's feared son Uday was also reportedly a big fan of the day and would pull pranks like telling people food rations were being lifted. Side-splitting stuff.
Online frenzy
The internet has given the day a whole new lease of life, says Wainwright.
Gags include advertisements for free coffee cup holders asking users to click their mouse on an on-screen button. This - somehow - makes their disk drive open, hence the free coffee cup holder.
Wikipedia, the online encyclopaedia anyone can edit, is particularly exposed. Last year someone swapped the "protect" and "delete" buttons on every page, so that anyone trying to stop an article from being edited ended up deleting it.
But ultimately people either love it or loath April Fool's Day. For all the haters there is one consolation this year, it's not a work day so no mugs glued to desks and no phones covered with sticky tape - hopefully.

In 1971, psychology professor Philip Zimbardo created the Stanford Prison Experiment in which 24 college students were randomly assigned the roles of prison guards and prisoners at a makeshift jail on campus. The experiment was scheduled to run for two weeks. By Day Two, the guards were going far beyond just keeping the prisoners behind bars. In scenes eerily similar to Abu Ghraib, prisoners were stripped naked, bags put on their heads and sexually humiliated. The two-week experiment had to be canceled after just six days. Zimbardo tells the full story of the landmark study in his new book, "The Lucifer Effect."
