Did you know, that ... ?

		Shakespeare's fan,   now you can visit his library !
	Now, you can visit the Folger Shakespeare Library in Washington, D.C., which boasts the world's largest collection of Shakespeare's printed works, without leaving your home. The Library has created a unique, interactive multimedia website that allows visitors to select their interest and navigate tours at their own pace. The program is divided into three sections of "Treasures", "Quotations" and "Life", each of which are then subdivided into the "Seven Ages of Man" that Shakespeare described in As you like it. You can take a look at the Shakespeare Gallery at the website: www.folger.edu

		GOOD NEWS !
	The rate of population growth has slowed dramatically, from a peak of 2.2 per cent a year in 1963 to 1.4 per cent now. The UN expects there to be 9.4 billion people on the planet in 2050, far fewer than the 15 billion predicted in the 1970s.

		ROLLER COASTER   may damage your brain !!!
	Riding a roller coaster will give you an adrenaline rush, but it may also cause serious neurological damage. Scientists at the Lariboisiere Hospital in Paris studied four cases of illness that followed roller coaster rides. All of the patients, who were between 20 and 55 years old and otherwise healthy, developed a severe headache within a few hours or days of riding on a roller coaster. When examined, it was discovered that three had bleeding within an artery in the head and two had small strokes. Such news wouldn't have fazed Jonathan Thompson, Darthy Brown and Dion Hughes. Six Flags over Georgia, an American amusement park, offered a Jeep to whomever rode their roller coaster for the longest time. The three men tied for the first place, each having spent 17 hours a day - for 60 days! - riding the rails, with only breaks for food.
