2. Research reported last month
found women both smell and look
more attractive to men at certain
times of the month. Also,
symmetrical men smell better.
Borrowing sweaty undershirts from
a variety of men, Thornhill offered
the shirts to the noses of women,
asking for their impressions of the
scents. Hands down, the women
found the scent of a symmetrical
man to be more attractive and
desirable.

11:39pm on Friday night to remove
the threat of rain ahead of the 29th
Olympic opening ceremony in Beijing.

11. 1. What does Clarkson say you
should do to your children?
2. How many people go skiing every
year?
3. What does Clarkson say will
happen to one member of your
family?

12. Do to children?
How many?
Happen one member of family?
For your next holiday, why don’t you take all your
money and put it on the fire? Then stand in a
fridge for a week, beating your children with a
baseball bat until their arms and legs break. And
then, after you’ve eaten some melted cheese,
dislocate your shoulder. If all of this appeals then
you are probably one of the 1.3m British people
who go on a skiing holiday at this time of year.
Skiing, for those of you who’ve never tried it, is an
extremely expensive way of combining acute
discomfort, butt-clenching embarrassment, mind-
numbing fear and a light dusting of hypothermia.
Plus there’s a better than evens chance that at
least one member of your family will come home in
a wheelchair.
