“Scientists have shown that men find long legs attractive.”

Hopefully that was on the lunch break from when they were curing cancer.

Industry-sponsored studies of antidepressants that come up with positive results are more likely to be published than those that come up with negative results, says a paper in this week’s New England Journal of Medicine.

The authors looked at 74 antidepressant studies that had been filed with the FDA, and found that those deemed positive by the agency went unpublished only 3% of the time, while those deemed negative by the agency went unpublished 67% of the time. When unfavorable studies were published, it was in a way that conflicted with the FDA’s opinion of the study, according to the article.

350 children live in a Bangladeshi brothel – they hide under the bed when a client calls. When the women get pregnant, many hope for daughters who in time will be able to join them working in the brothel. The women are paid 100 taka ($1.50) for sex, about the same you would pay for a couple of large bottles of fizzy drink.

Botanists have discovered a new species of giant self-destructing palm in Madagascar which is so large that it can be seen in satellite photos.

The plant, which only exists in the remote north-west of the island, is unlike anything else ever found on the island before.

Former Fulham boss Chris Coleman has resigned as manager of Spanish Second Division side Real Sociedad.

The Welshman has stepped down less than a week after stating he would be staying at the club following a meeting with new president Inaki Badiola.

“Things have changed with the arrival of Badiola because there are now two different ways of seeing the club and of working,” added Coleman.

Sociedad made a slow start following Coleman’s appointment last summer but they now lie fifth in the Segunda Division after a run of just one defeat in the last 11 matches, just a point off the promotion places.

Badiola was duly elected and his ideas for running the club included the addition of a number of new players that he had already pinpointed – a policy which did not sit well with Coleman.
