Gizmo the Chihuahua 'seized and taken away by big hungry seagull' Becca Louise Hill said a gull swooped down and grabbed Gizmo by the scruff of his neck in Paignton, Devon. Her partner tried to grab the dog's legs to stop him being taken away. But was too late and the gull flew away with Gizmo. http://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-devon-49070562 |

Vietnamese police seize 320,000 used condoms from a factory, which had been washing, reshaping with wooden dildos and repackaging them ready to be resold. I'm all for recycling stuff but that's a bit much. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-54284355 |

Man dies from eating too much liquorice. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-54269144 Apparently a bag and a half a day was the lethal dose, which I suppose is quite a lot of liquorice but doesn't actually sound like all that much really, I would have thought it'd be way more than that. I suppose they could be massive bags but it doesn't actually say what size they were. |

@ 3mel - 24.09.20 - 09:42pm a bag and a half a day... for how many days ? Describing the man's case in the New England Journal of Medicine, his doctors said the glycyrrhizic acid in liquorice was to blame. ''We are told that this patient has a poor diet and eats a lot of candy. Could his illness be related to candy consumption?'' Dr Elazer R Edelman said. He said studies had shown glycyrrhizic acid - the active ingredient in liquorice - could cause ''hypertension, hypokalemia, metabolic alkalosis, fatal arrhythmias, and renal failure'' - all of which were seen in this patient. Hypokalemia is when a person's potassium levels in their blood become dangerously low. The patient had also recently changed the type of sweets he was eating. A few weeks before his death, he switched from red fruit-flavoured twists to another type made with black liquorice. |
