Not HRH Prince Charles.. but a pub named after the Prince of Wales. Vandals painted the 16th Century building pink overnight – a few days too early for April Fools Day.

The Obama administration wants to reset US relations with Russia, and in a symbolic gesture Secretary of State Hillary Clinton presented her counterpart, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov with a huge RESET button when the met in Geneva.

Update: as we know President Obama received a new uber-super-safe-ugly limo. Is this a subtle hint that he needs a new chopper?

From the it doesn’t get any stupider than this department: 86 people in the UK have broken the World Record in underwater ironing.
What’s wrong with these people? I wouldn’t want to be anywhere close to an ironing board even on land, let alone underwater. These people should take a flight on Us Airways… (oops, sorry, bad joke).
