SO what news articles made the “stories of the day” for you this week? We compile some choice SOTDs that should put a smile on your face as we prepare for the weekend. We start off here in London, at the Olympics.

CAMERAS DONT LIE

The London Olympics are now in full swing and the competition is heating up.

Much as all olympians * with the exception of weightlifters and Ricardo Blas Jnr *, look all toned up and buff, we discovered this week that some do look like the rest of us mere mortals…at certain times.

No more curries please!

Have a look at these pictures of divers as they tumble through the air.  From the other side of small screens, it may seem as if divers are pulling some really graceful stunts with ease, but the zoomed lens of a camera has exposed what a task it is.

Kinda looks like my reflection in the toilet mirror the last time I had Indian curry.

KING’S FALL

Spain’s King Juan Carlos is the undisputed fall guy king. Juan has tripped and fallen while visiting army headquarters in Madrid, reports from the Spanish capital say.

Thursday’s accident occurred on a stone staircase, and the king got up and carried on with his duties, although his nose appeared red and sore.

In April, the monarch underwent hip replacement surgery after tripping on stairs and fracturing bones while on an elephant hunting trip in Botswana. The safari was widely criticized in Spain’s exorbitant during the country’s economic crisis, and the king apologized.

SWEET-TOOTHED THIEVES

Thieves broke into a beach kiosk and stole thousands of sticks of
seaside rock.

Around £500-worth of the confectionery was taken from the vending hut in
Bridlington, East Yorkshire.

Humberside Police said the burglars smashed a padlock and cleared out
virtually all the stock. A force spokeswoman said the burglary was
discovered by the owner when she arrived to open up. The spokeswoman
said she had no idea what the thieves would do with the haul.

Ordinarily, I would give the thieves, the same advice my toothless granny gave me about eating too much sugar, but I have the benefit of the wisdom below now …

STRONG TEETH

Human teeth may not match those of a tiger shark in size or number – but
they are just as strong, research has shown.

Scientists made the surprising discovery after comparing the
micro-structure of human and shark teeth.

There IS something called a humanitarian shark.

A German team led by Professor
Matthias Epple, from the University of Duisburg-Essen in Germany found
that despite the teeth of the top ocean predator being coated with
super-tough enamel, they are no stronger than the average human’s.

The research, published in the Journal of Structural Biology, could
assist the design of stronger and longer-lasting dentures.

Open wide, and show ‘em with pride! 

MULTITASKING

The next video is evidence that multitasking is meant only for women, as us men are just crap at trying to do more than two things at a time.

Enjoy your weekend and holla at your boy: @makiwahenry
