SEOUL - Zes uit een pretpark in Seoul ontsnapte olifanten zijn vandaag afzonderlijk van elkaar in de Zuid-Koreaanse hoofdstad gaan rondstruinen. Een van hen dook een steeg in, waar hij een 52-jarige vrouw een dreun met zijn slurf verkocht. Drie olifanten bleken zich in een restaurant verschanst te hebben en eentje zit inmiddels vast op een politiebureau. De zesde olifant is nog niet gevonden. Dat meldt het persbureau Yonhap vandaag. #

Scientists begin to unlock the secrets of papyrus scraps bearing long-lost words by the literary giants of Greece and Rome (By David Keys and Nicholas Pyke, 17 April 2005)

For more than a century, it has caused excitement and frustration in equal measure - a collection of Greek and Roman writings so vast it could redraw the map of classical civilisation. If only it was legible.

Now, in a breakthrough described as the classical equivalent of finding the holy grail, Oxford University scientists have employed infra-red technology to open up the hoard, known as the Oxyrhynchus Papyri, and with it the prospect that hundreds of lost Greek comedies, tragedies and epic poems will soon be revealed.

In the past four days alone, Oxford's classicists have used it to make a series of astonishing discoveries, including writing by Sophocles, Euripides, Hesiod and other literary giants of the ancient world, lost for millennia. They even believe they are likely to find lost Christian gospels, the originals of which were written around the time of the earliest books of the New Testament.

,,Prins Filip en prinses Mathilde zijn zeer blij aan te kondigen dat zij een kindje verwachten'', meldt het Paleis. ,,De koning en de koningin, de hele Koninklijke Familie en de familie van Prinses Mathilde delen in deze grote vreugde.''
Het viel afgelopen weekend op dat Mathilde in het Zwitserse skioord Verbier, waar ze met prins Filip en dochter Elisabeth op vakantie is, niet vaak op de latten stond.
Morgen viert Filip zijn 45ste verjaardag. Maandag zou het prinsenpaar naar Washington reizen om er onder meer deel te nemen aan een werkvergadering van de Wereldbank.

Turkey has introduced the New Turkish Lira. To simplify the Turkish monetary system, all six nils have disappeared from coins and banknotes. However, some of the new coins look very similar to Eurocoins. Especially the new 1 Lira resembles the 2 Euro a lot, not only in appearance but in size and weight as well.

In Germany the new Turkish coins are found in vending machines regulary already. The value of a Lira is just 55 Eurocents. Protecting vending machines against the Turkish coin is possible, but costly.
