Kate Middleton's eyebrows are certainly looking rather thick and bushy at the moment, and one is slightly larger than the other, which is never going to be a good look for anyone, even the future queen of England.

Stonehenge Stones Being Turned Into Gravel
Tourist bosses from Stonehenge are begging visitors to stop sneakily stealing stones from a Welsh quarry where these giant monoliths are believed to have originated. Many of these stones are being taken by trophy hunters, who are selling them on eBay as polished gemstones.

In her show 'Mary Berry's Foolproof Cooking', she was having a lovely barbecue outside in a wheelbarrow on a sunny summer's day. However, thousands of viewers soon started complaining on Twitter, saying that it was daft showing how to cook food outside in the garden during the winter, especially as gale force winds (Storm Imogen) were sweeping across the country at the time.

The Titanic Will Sail Again
Costing a mere £300 million, the replica of the doomed ocean liner RMS Titanic is due to set sail in 2018. Photos of this epic ship show how no expense has been spared to recreate the luxurious period details and glamour, including the Titanic's famous staircase, the first-class smoking room, the Cafe Parisien and the six-foot deep indoor swimming pool. Named the Titanic II, the ship will require a crew of some 900 people and will carry more than 2,400 passengers, although with a lifeboat capacity of 2,700 people, doesn't that mean that in an emergency, 600 people won't be able to fit into a lifeboat?
