Queen Anne's revenge
Originally named Concord, the vessel was built by Britain in 1710, but captured by the French a year later. The ship was modified to hold more cargo and renamed La Concorde. The slave-ship was captured again by the pirate Captain Benjamin Hornigold on November 28, 1717 near the island of Martinique. Hornigold turned the ship over to one of his pirates - Edward Teach, who was later known as Blackbeard, and made him captain. Blackbeard converted La Concorde into his flagship, adding 20 guns and renaming her the Queen Anne's Revenge. With it he ranged the west coast of Africa and the Caribbean, attacking British, Dutch and Portuguese ships.

Mouse Lemur
Deep in the forests of Madagascar German scientists have discovered three new species of the world's smallest primate, the mouse lemur.
The creatures are the tiniest primates in the world, and therefore the smallest relatives in a biological order that also includes humans.

Mini 1978 Clubman
Abrie en ek jaag rond in my en Annabelle se classic Mini Clubman 1978. Ek en Annabelle het die Mini saam gekoop toe ons gestudeer het in Potch. Die "idee" was om n' kar aan te skaf n' roadtrip te doen en dan weer die kar te verkoop... Min het ons geweet van die Mini se persoonlikheid en die feit dat dit onmoontlik sou wees om hom sommer net weer te verkoop. Ons het in daardie somer van 2002 14,000km afgelê deur Suid Afrika op die lekkerste low-budget vakansie van ons lewens. Ons is van Pretoria na die Krugerwildtuin, Drakensberge (op met Sanie pas), Durban, Ooskus, Kaapstad, en Zig-zag terug deur die karoo weer tot in die Jakaranda stad, alles in 30 dae. Die Mini het nie een keer probleme gegee nie.
Bewys dat n' LAnd Rover 100km/h kan haal - dankie Kaapstad Metro Polisie

Senior police and administrative officials have rushed to the scene to investigate the incident, the report said, adding that a forensic science team had also been called in.
