And, who knows – now that the idea is out there the Super Sized Bride Cake could become the fixture de rigeur at every sophisticat’s wedding. You might arrive at a colleague’s nuptials to find caviar replaced with cadaver – albeit of a spongey variety.

And, the real wedding showboater might things can be taken one step further. Who’s to say you couldn’t serve a page boy replica made entirely of bruschetta or have the bride tossing a swiss roll bouquet.

Or maybe, it’s all just a bout of madness. As a notion, I don’t think most people would be enthused about serving their guests a bride autopsy. And, think of the downsides. Bakers all over the land will be forced to upgrade to expensive man size ovens and it’s inevitable that some grooms – having footed the bill and when faced with the stark choice - will be hard pressed not to marry the cake.

True to his name John McCain has showed a preference for the chips. Rudi Guiliani has been chomping hot dogs at every opportunity, while Hillary Clinton has promised free ice cream to democratic voters. Meanwhile Barrack Obama has been wolfing pies in the mid-west to secure the pie wagon vote.

Dieticians predict all of the candidates will put on 30 to 40 pounds by Novemeber - putting them in line with the average American voter.

And hes got plenty of attitude. He feels about self help what Tom Cruise feels about psychiatry, dissmissing all the gurus and motivational fads out there.

We cant vouch for his validity, but the Rich Jerk seems to tell it straight. Its worth giving his methods a shot, and if they work, we'll be sure to let you know ... from our beach house in Hawaii.

Check out his takes on Robert De Niro, Jack Nicholson, Al Pacino and Sean Connery.

While his impersonation of Dubya seems even more realistic than the real thing...perhaps not as hard as it sounds.

But seemingly even this isn’t enough. Not content with just admiring cats in all their cute dimensions German Jeurgen Perthold was consumed by curiousity - “I thought about our cat who is the whole day out, returning sometimes hungry sometimes not, sometimes he stay also the night out”. And so, the cat daddy came up with a solution – “This brought me to the idea to equip the cat with a camera.”

And so was born Mr Lee Cat Cam – a home made custom built cat camera which hangs around Mr Lee’s neck beaming back images and giving a cats eye view of his daily meanderings. The results are available online. Aside from offering a snapshot of what the world might look like if you conveyed yourself around on the flat of your stomach are pretty uninteresting.

But that’s not to say that the cat cam isn’t in demand. On the Mr Lee Cat Cam website Jeurgen has started selling Cat snappers and even outlines intricate instructions for building your own.

You may snigger but according to Jeurgen “the cat Mr. Lee is going to get the most famous cat of the world”. The cat who snaps may well be popular, but as for the “most famous cat of the world”.

Well, I think Garfield might have a thing or two to say about that.

Come on down, the lady who named the most common rodent as a Saxophone, or the guy who thought that the civilization that conquered Britain were “the Apes”

Needless to say we Irish are not immune. Hands up if you remember the 1970's gameshow “Quicksilver”. When one contestant was asked for Gandhi's first name she replied “Goosey Goosey”. Another reasoned that the Capital of France was F. And when one radio contestant was asked for the name of a bird with a long neck, his reply: Naomi Campbell.

Although technically correct that kind of answer would never bag you the anniversary clock or the coveted star prize - a lightweight electric blanket...

Japan is the home of the world fastest strip down – a man who can take all his clothes off in 7 seconds.

American Hetti Green has the dubious distinction of being the worlds stingiest person. She refused to wash so as to save on costly hot water, and let her son have his leg amputated rather than pay medical fees.

There's a sofa that travels at 87 mph, a man with an 11 foot moustache and a 900lb bagel. But for sheer lunacy, what can beat the guy who can lift 24lb of steel weights – with his tongue.

Or you could become a sensory Deprivation Research Subject. Locked into a small room with nothing in it for days on end, you won’t hear, feel or see anything, and eventually the hallucinations take over.
No? Then how about an Indian princess in waiting. You fan and feed grapes to the young princess all day, but if she gets married and her husband dies young, both you and your boss are sent to the funeral pyre so you may continue to serve him in the afterlife.
What was that job with the flatulence again?

Who said the dot com bubble had burst?

If only life were so easy....

It's hard to say if Bosco's comeback will produce the same hysteria that surrounded Led Zeppelin or The Police, but for those of us of a certain age, he is a welcome addition to the endless line of celebs from the decade that taste forget getting back in the entertainment saddle.

Now how about bringing back Basil Brush?

On second thoughts....maybe not.

So tracksuit on, and chin up folks, with the eminent Dr Carol AKA Mrs Motivator by your side who knows maybe you might just be able to keep up your resolutions…..for at least another two weeks…

The chicken soup diet suggests you eat nothing but chicken soup all day every day, likewise with the cabbage soup diet. But, the quickest route to a thinner has got to be the Amputation Diet - with the following instructions:

Clip finger and toenails.
Get a haircut.
Shave all your body hair.
Take a laxative (also works at clearing unwanted guests).
And finally for maximum effect - amputate an arm and a leg……

What better way to wake everyone at 5am on Christmas morning than with a dozen harmonising elves?

No? Oh well. There's always Westlife.....
