London, July 24 : Cops in the UK have had to deal with some pretty bizarre emergency calls – like the time when a woman dialled 999 to ask them to find her glasses so she could prepare lunch.

Another time was when a woman who demanded officers save a squirrel close to a motorway - because there were no hazel nut trees nearby.

If you think this is funny then give a thought to cops who’ve had to deal with 8,400 calls like this in just the past year between June 2007 to July 2008.

London  - British budget airline Easyjet warned Thursday that rising fuel costs would result in significantly lower annual profits which it hoped to offset by cutting flights over the winter months.

Easyjet said its annual fuel costs have increased by about 185 million pounds (370 million dollars), as analysts predicted that the company's full-year earnings would be less than expected.

It predicted that annual profits could be up to 42 per cent lower than in the previous financial year.

London, July 24 : A new study conducted on bottled and tap water revealed that half of all Brits could not discern the difference between the two.

London, July 24 : American researchers have discovered that female bottlenose dolphins whistle 10 times more often than usual after giving birth - to tell their offspring who their mothers are.

Detailing their findings in the journal Marine Mammal Science, the researchers said that each animal had a unique whistle, a fact that allows such “signatures” to be used for identification.

The researchers also highlight the fact that bottlenose dolphins are highly social, and that calves encounter many adult females in their first weeks, and may potentially mistake them for their mothers.
