Police in Western Australia today have arrested a man who was allegedly caught armed with a sword fashioned out of a swordfish's snout and had used it to threaten his neighbours.

After a long struggle and eventually getting it under their control, the police then argued who would get to mount in on their wall.

The University of Melbourne's Carolina Tallon  have announced in a paper for Fresh Science that hypersonic commercial flight could possibly be achieved if the planes were made from ceramics.

 

Because when I think of flying in a plane that is made from the same material as the flower pot that cracked when I dropped it a short distance on to the ground this morning, I definitely think of the word 'safe'.
