AND IN IMPORTANT BREAKING WORLD NEWS: Naples has celebrated the first day of official recognition for the Italian city’s most famous culinary creation: the pizza.
The European Union ruling marks the end of a battle that began a quarter of a century ago and aimed to protect Neapolitan pizzas from imitations.
The Traditional Speciality Guaranteed label on Naples pizza was approved last month and came into effect on Thursday. The TSG label means that all pizzerias aspiring to supply the real thing are in future supposed to be vetted by a special commission that will check standards.
They include using only San Marzano tomatoes and fresh buffalo mozzarella cheese.
This has my complete support. I have never had pizza as beautiful and delicious as the pizzas I consumed in Napoli! It’s worth the trip for that alone - being able to visit the museums, galleries, and nearby historical sites is just an added bonus, to be honest.

Of course, in many cases this may be true. Yet the recent death of Kevin McGee, the former husband of Little Britain star Matt Lucas, and now the dubious events of Gately’s last night raise troubling questions about what happened.
It is important that the truth comes out about the exact circumstances of his strange and lonely death.
As a gay rights champion, I am sure he would want to set an example to any impressionable young men who may want to emulate what they might see as his glamorous routine.
For once again, under the carapace of glittering, hedonistic celebrity, the ooze of a very different and more dangerous lifestyle has seeped out for all to see.Why there was nothing ‘natural’ about Stephen Gately’s death | Mail Online
TL;DR - You’ll die young if you’re a disgusting gay pervert who has the audacity to marry someone of your own gender.

If zombies actually existed, an attack by them would lead to the collapse of civilisation unless dealt with quickly and aggressively.
That is the conclusion of a mathematical exercise carried out by researchers in Canada.
They say only frequent counter-attacks with increasing force would eradicate the fictional creatures.
The scientific paper is published in a book - Infectious Diseases Modelling Research Progress.

Most dogs can understand 165 words and count to five →
oomb:
”When the researcher either sneaks away one of the treats or stealthily adds an extra before raising the screen, the dog will wait longer — appearing to puzzle over the bad math — before eating the treats.”
Really? The dog will puzzle over the bad math before eating its treats? Who ARE these dogs??
