Try Telling That To Professor Stephen Hawking

The University of Hong Kong marathon team has been promoting a rather strange slogan, particularly for a tertiary institution where many academics and, say, medical doctors cannot be said to be very healthy.

"A strong mind starts with a healthy body"


Oh yeah!? Where's your evidence please?

Obi-Wan, Not Orangutan

Chelsea's Mikel John Obi clearly uses "inappropriate language" at referee Mark Clattenburg but it is the latter who is accused of using inappropriate language at the former. Pic Adrian Dennis/AFP/Getty Images

John Obi Mikel is commonly known as Mikel John Obi, John Obi Mikel or John Mikel Obi (or possibly Obi-Jon Mikelbi!?).

His non-English team-mates Spaniard Juan Mata and Brazilian Ramires swear they heard referee Mark Clattenburg say "Shut it Monkey" instead of "Shut it Mikel".

Clatts probably prefers to use the name "Obi" and in his northern English accent, "Hey Obi-Wan Kenobi" probably sounded like "Hey Orangutan so sue me".
