The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) have created a new domain name for porn, 'XXX.' I think this is a good thing, if it becomes a major domain for porn it will be easier to block for those who do not wish to view such material. Personally I am awaiting www.myrth.xxx
Also a four legged chicken (with all legs working) was recently born in Romania. I think if this is a characteristic that can be breed into other chickens we'll have cheaper chicken legs, and more of them too! (Story below)

Pornographic Web Sites to have New Address: “XXX”
MARINA DEL RAY, California, June 2, 2005 (LifeSiteNews.com)
The Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (ICANN) approved a new domain name for pornographic web content Wednesday – .xxx.
ICM Registry, the company that submitted the application to register the new domain claims the new suffix will help to regulate porn, protecting children from illicit content. Websites that register to use the suffix will be expected to put in place measures to protect children from unwittingly viewing their content, however, so far there are no plans for mandatory compulsion for pornographic sites to switch from the more common and less expensive .com to the new .xxx.
ICM Registry Chairman and President Stuart Lawley said that viewers will be given more power to only view the content they intend to by creation of the new domain. “By moving forward with .xxx, the online adult-entertainment industry is taking part in a pro-active approach to its presence on the Internet, making an identifiable commitment to responsible behaviour and to the development of best business practices,” Lawley said, according to a pcpro.co.uk report.

Four-legged chicken
A Romanian farmer is hoping to make a fortune after a chicken was born with four working legs.

A four-legged chicken has been born in Romania /Europics
Doru Grigoras said: "Think of all the extra chicken drumsticks you can get off a chicken with four legs instead of two."
He is planning to keep the black feathered chick until it grows up at his smallholding in Dambau and then breed it to produce more four-legged birds.
If the breeding is successful he will sell the chickens to a fast food chain, and if not he says the chick could still make him a fortune through advertising.
Grigoras added: "Everyone from around the region wants to come to see my chicken. Apart from its extra legs it looks perfectly healthy, although it eats a lot for such a small bird," the daily newspaper 7 Plus reported.
