::: SPIDERMAN MISTAKES :::

Eagle eyed movie goers have already spotted 77 continuity errors in the new Spiderman film. Such as:

>>> When Peter Parker first discovers he can climb up walls (while in citizen clothing), he tests it out by climbing up a building in an alley. During this scene, you can clearly see his clothes hanging out forwards, indicating that the scene was filmed with him crawling along a floor horizontally.

>>> When Peter shoots his web at his bedroom lamp and pulls it across the room, it smashes against the wall and breaks. But when Aunt May is talking to Peter from the door seconds later, the lamp is back on the dresser in one piece.

>>> When the tram with all the kids is falling, the kids are yelling. The adult behind them isn't yelling & looks bored.

>>> When Harry is talking to Mary Jane on the phone, she hangs up on him and his cell phone produces a dial tone. Cell phones do not have a dial tone.

>>> At Norman Osbourne's funeral, we see Harry from the side saying to Peter that he is like family, but his face doesn't move when he talks.

>>> How come you never see Peter's mouth move when he is talking in the Spiderman costume? The mask is spandex just like the rest of the costume, so you would see evidence of Peter's mouth moving when he talks. See the rest of them here...

::: IT'S NOT OVER TIL THE FAT LADY DANCES :::

Salvation at last! Your weight could win you a prize and fame. In Thailand they have a special competition for fat people... Sirintharika Santhisiri has been crowned 'Jumbo Queen' - in honour of the country's unofficial national animal - the elephant. The 16-stone widow beat 21 finalists to scoop the title. She won by "best exhibiting the characteristics of an elephant, by virtue of her grace, elegance and size". The contest has a serious side, to raise awareness of Thailand's falling elephant population.

Participants performed a variety of dances and songs including hip-hop, traditional Japanese folk songs, Hawaiian dance, Thai classical dance and samba (what a sight!). The audience burst into applause when mum-of-one Sirintharika wobbled into her winning Flamenco dance routine.

Graduate Sirintharika, who works in TV, once shed loads of weight to star in a Miss Thailand beauty contest. But she lost and decided to put it all back on again. She said: "When I looked at myself, it didn't feel right."

No pics, but if you like fat people...

Mark's crap joke corner:
A highly excited man rang up for an ambulance.
'Quickly, come quickly,' he shouted,
'my wife's about to have a baby.'
'Is this your first baby?' asked the operator
'No, you fool,' came the reply, 'it's her husband.'
