Les, what is this crap ? The government adjusted figures on workers' hours to capture the effect of the Sept. 11 attacks, which had the effect of boosting productivity as workers produced a lot of goods despite a cutback in hours. alchemie ?? Ironically, productivity grew strongly even as the economy experienced its first quarterly contraction in gross domestic product, down 0.4 percent, in eight years. Usually, productivity sags in an economic downturn. dailynews.yahoo.com

Starbucks Barmaid says cappuccinos made her breasts grow A young woman claims her breasts have grown by three cup sizes after she started drinking cappuccino. Lucy Puttick drank up to a dozen of the coffees a day to take her mind off food while she was on a diet. The 19 year-old barmaid from South London has lost half a stone, and says her bra size has gone from a 34A to 34D. She used to drink strong black espresso at her pub, the Frog And Forget-Me-Not, but changed to cappuccino for the sweeter taste. "My shape has changed completely. People are joking that I must be drinking not Nescafé but Breastcafé," Ms Puttick says. "It's as if the weight is being drawn to my boobs. I can't explain it - the only thing I've had more of is cappuccino," she added.
