Of porn, a giant egg, Loki, Dali, "Super-tot" and Zorba

Move over "The Lionesses", it's Global Tiger Day!

It's another snippets post, dear reader:

• We're a nation of porn addicts news: There has been a massive "spike" in downloads of virtual private network (VPN) software, as the government has introduced strict age verification with ID to watch your favourite kinks played out on screen. Prudish bastards! The kids they're ostensibly trying to protect will already have cracked that one ages ago, and it's just the grown-ups that are trying to catch up...
• Foodstuffs that are alien to Americans news: The world's largest Scotch Egg, created just around the corner from us in North London by two foodies who share recipes online, has been recognised by Guinness World Records.
• Death to all vermin news: Meet Loki, the new "official hawk" of Westminster.
• Hello, Dali news: A "lost" work by Surrealist artist Salvador Dali, bought for £150 in a house clearance in Cambridge, has been valued for sale at auction at £20-30,000! I think it looks like some kind of dreadful rash, to be honest.
• The Indian Heracles? news: Instead of being scared and screaming when a deadly cobra started coiling around his hands, toddler Govina in the Indian state of Bihar bit its head off, killing it instantly! Wonder what he's going to be like when he grows up? Tough, I'd imagine.
• And, finally: Sharing the day with the likes of Theda Bara (140), Clara Bow (120), William Powell, Sally Gunnell, Diane Keen, Wil Wheaton, Simon Nye, Geddy Lee, Sigmund Romberg, DJ Carl Cox, Dag Hammarskjöld, Andi Peters, David Warner and - erm - Benito Mussolini...

  ...it's the centenary today of the birth of Mikis Theodorakis! Who? I hear you ask. His most famous work is rather recognisable:

Anthony Quinn, Alan Bates in Zorba the Greek

And the weather? Still grey.
