The extraconjugal relations harm cardiac [ 2002-12-03 18:33 ] 
HAMBURG, Germany (Reuters) - the extra-marital sexual activity can increase the 
risks of heart attack, has declared a British cardiologist at the time of a 
congress on sexual health at Hamburg. The stable couples are much less prone to 
the heart failures at the time of sexual relations than those having 
an "aventure", explained Graham Jackson, a heart specialist at the hospital St 
Thomas of London. "We arrived at the conclusion that 75% of the cases of sudden 
death during sexual act were the fact of people having a relation out of 
marriage", declared Jackson Monday evening during the European congress. He 
added that the cardiac risk of attack was even greater when there was a 
significant difference in age between the partners. But he made a point of 
specifying that "after all, only one percent of the heart attacks are due to 
sexual activity".

Note du Traducteur :
Is it really necessary to be an heart specialist to make such declaration 
like : "(...) the cardiac risk of attack was even greater when there was a 
significant difference in age between the partners (...)"
Well ...maybe !


Even swallowed by baby, the circuit breaker of the car functions [ 2002-12-03 
18:04 ] 
LONDON (Reuters) - a one year old baby allowed his mother to start again her 
car by using the circuit breaker... which he had swallowed beforehand. The 
young woman, unable to start again her vehicle after having made shopping, in 
the west of London, had called a repair service, reports Daily Telegraph in her 
edition of Tuesday. The repair man noticed that part of the key (the circuit 
breaker) was missing  - and suggested that her son Oscar, who assiduously 
sucked the key of the car, had perhaps swallowed it. "She took him on her knees 
by making sure that his stomach was against the wheel", explained the repair 
man. "She engaged the key and the car started". "I suppose that it was the best 
system as regards protection against robberin." Oscar is well and the circuit 
breaker was recovered by the natural ways. The machine still works.

Note du traducteur : So this anti-robbering system is not so safe since you 
have to reinject the circuit breaker into the baby after each WC session.
And what abt that when the baby will reach the age of 5 or more ? Not so 
convinient. Except if you furnish an other baby but then you should try to find 
a way of "swap" btwn older & younger children otherwhise you will need a bigger 
car after time !

Oh well ... (bis) !

72!
