After reading that it is a well known fact that horse is eaten in Mexico I started to dig a little because the words "well known fact" just does that to me.

Here is a interesting article complete with recipes:eek:

Hungry enough
to eat a horse?

Okay, it’s not everyday dining fare, I agree. But, tell someone you’re having horse steaks for supper, grilled to perfection and garnished with plenty of fresh herbs and vegetables, and you’re likely to get the same reaction as if you had casually mentioned you’re serving up your own leg.

But is setting the table with horse meat really that offensive an idea?

I've had horse meat in France plenty of times.

A baby had a miraculous escape in Australia when a runaway car crashed into a shop and hit his pram.

The baby's mum was inside the shop, in Sydney's beachside suburb of Bondi, when the out-of-control car smashed through the store's glass window.

The woman, who had been standing with the little boy's older sister, rushed to her baby and clutched him in her arms. Other customers in the store came running.

Incredibly, nobody was hurt in the accident which was reportedly caused by the driver veering off the road to avoid another car.

It wasn't the first time this happened in Australia. In Melbourne-

A robot made out of Lego and powered by an android smartphone has broken the record for the fastest time to solve a Rubik's Cube.

The robot, named CubeStormer II, was invented by David Gilday and Mike Dobson, and finished the puzzle in 5.352 seconds, reports Gizmodo.

Unlike human 'speedcubers', the robot doesn't look at the cube first - it finds the answer as it goes.

Cubestormer II uses a mobile phone camera to snap images of each face of the Rubik's Cube, analyses the images, then sends instructions via Bluetooth to four Lego 'arms' which rotate the cube at high speed.

Australian Feliks Zemdegs previously held the Guinness World Record for solving the Rubik's Cube in 5.66 seconds.
