Oz Rules: 296-6

"We've poured you a beer and we've had the camels shampooed, we've saved you a spot on the beach, and we've got the sharks out of the pool. So where the bloody hell are you?"

A Japanese teacher, gripped by the baseball fever that seized the nation during a game with bitter rival South Korea, was forced to apologize after watching the game in a classroom where students were taking a test. "Some students were looking forward to watching the game, and I was also anxious about it," the teacher was quoted as saying. "I was very thoughtless."

A hotel in northern Germany has started charging its guests by the kilo for an overnight stay. In the town of Norden, close to the Dutch border, guests now have to step onto the scales before moving into their rooms and fork out half a euro ($0.61) per kilogram (2.2 lbs). "I had many guests who were really huge and I told them to slim down," said Juergen Heckrodt, owner of the three-star establishment. "When they came back the year after and had lost a lot of weight they asked me what are you gonna do for me now?" Heckrodt said he hoped his initiative would inspire Germans to become leaner and healthier. "Healthy guests live longer and can come back more often."
