German States Ban Red Bull Over Cocaine Traces

Regulators in the German states of Hesse and North-Rhine Westphalia banned the sale of Red Bull after finding traces of cocaine during tests
Levels of the chemical were not high enough to pose a health risk, but require the drink to be reclassified as a narcotic under German law.
The manufacturer of Red Bull has rejected the ban as baseless, claiming that “de-cocainized (sic) extract of coca leaf is used worldwide in foods as a natural flavoring,” and pointed out that coca leaf extract is considered safe for use as an additive within the EU and the US
I snorteed 3 cans just this morning :) and no ill effects *sniff *sniff

Dolphins enjoy sardine feeding frenzy

clipped from www.dailymail.co.uk
dolphins line up patiently as they look forward to a rather large and tasty lunch.
dolphins
mammals head to the South African coastline each year for the Sardine Run
The dolphins, alongside sword fish and sharks ambush them from below, while gannets and gulls hover above the waves waiting for their chance
Sharks and swordfish
dolphins
sardine run where huge schools of migrating sardines are chased by thousands of dolphins, sharks, birds and even hunting Bryde's whales
the sardines protect themselves
from this onslaught by forming into giant balls called 'bait balls'
which can measure as large as 65 feet
But for three of the past five
years, the cold current has not arrived, and neither have the sardines,
as they are unable to tolerate water that is warmer than 20 degrees
Celsius.

Being inside a bait ball is not for the weak minded - divers are surrounded by charging dolphins, sharks in frenzy mode, birds falling from above at speeds
