Baby elephant appears after two-year wait, Whipsnade Zoo, Bedfordshire - 27 Oct 2011

Baby Elephant Born After Two-Year Pregnancy
A baby elephant born after the longest pregnancy recorded at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo is also the smallest baby ever recorded there.
After a whopping 700-day pregnancy, the newest addition to ZSL Whipsnade Zoo's Asian elephant herd was born at 12:15am on Tuesday last week (18th Oct).
Experienced mum Azizah gave birth to her third baby - a male - after going through the longest pregnancy ever experienced the Zoo. The normal gestation period for an Asian elephant is 22 months but the new calf stayed put for around 700 days - nearly two years.
Despite this, the new calf (who is yet to be named) is also the smallest elephant ever born at ZSL Whipsnade Zoo weighing in at just 104kg, around 16 stone, at birth. Keepers were initially worried the pint-sized pachyderm would not be tall enough to reach his mum's milk, but he quickly learnt to get on his tip-toes and has had no problem feeding.
Elephant keeper Lee Sambrook said: "Azizah took to him straightaway and the rest of the herd is so excited to be around the baby and touch it. Elephants are social animals and having youngsters joining the herd is what elephant life is about."

Man builds world's longest motorbike, Lincolnshire, Britain - 28 Jul 2011

World's Longest Motorbike Has Room For 25
A plumber has built the world's longest motorbike - which is an incredible 22 metres (72ft) long.
Colin Furze, 31, spent a month building the 25-seater bike, which is as long as a tennis court.
He used one-and-a-half 125cc mopeds which he extended using an aluminium frame and drove the bike a mile along the runway at Saltby Airfield in Grantham, Lincs.
He managed to get the bike, which is worth around GBP 3,000, up to 35mph, but found it almost impossible to steer.
"When I first got on it I thought it would never work and at a slow speed it's almost impossible to keep upright," said Colin, from Stamford, Lincs.
"But once you get going it becomes a bit easier, although it is a real strain on your arms as it has such heavy steering.
"It wobbled a huge amount as I drove along and apparently the back of the bike was weaving around all over the place.
"It is very difficult to handle and it would be hard to ride on the roads as you need about six widths of road to turn. I think it is really built for Roman roads."
Colin constructed the massive motorcycle, which takes three people to move, in his mum's back garden.
He had to cut the bikes and construct the aluminium frame, which has been made in three parts then bolted together.
To make it into the record books, Colin had to drive the bike 100 metres, but amazingly he managed to ride more than a mile.
He will now send the video along with signed witness statements to Guinness World of Records, so they can verify it.
Colin already holds the world record for the fastest mobility scooter, which he built to go at a remarkable 71mph.
"This motorbike was so heavy and difficult to drive I think it would be impossible to make a longer bike. I think this record will stand for a very long time," he added...

Colin constructed the massive motorcycle, which takes three people to move, in his mum's back garden.
He had to cut the bikes and construct the aluminium frame, which has been made in three parts then bolted together.
To make it into the record books, Colin had to drive the bike 100 metres, but amazingly he managed to ride more than a mile.
He will now send the video along with signed witness statements to Guinness World of Records, so they can verify it.
Colin already holds the world record for the fastest mobility scooter, which he built to go at a remarkable 71mph.
"This motorbike was so heavy and difficult to drive I think it would be impossible to make a longer bike. I think this record will stand for a very long time," he added...

World's Longest Motorbike Has Room For 25
A plumber has built the world's longest motorbike - which is an incredible 22 metres (72ft) long.
Colin Furze, 31, spent a month building the 25-seater bike, which is as long as a tennis court.
He used one-and-a-half 125cc mopeds which he extended using an aluminium frame and drove the bike a mile along the runway at Saltby Airfield in Grantham, Lincs.
He managed to get the bike, which is worth around GBP 3,000, up to 35mph, but found it almost impossible to steer.
"When I first got on it I thought it would never work and at a slow speed it's almost impossible to keep upright," said Colin, from Stamford, Lincs.
"But once you get going it becomes a bit easier, although it is a real strain on your arms as it has such heavy steering.
"It wobbled a huge amount as I drove along and apparently the back of the bike was weaving around all over the place.
"It is very difficult to handle and it would be hard to ride on the roads as you need about six widths of road to turn. I think it is really built for Roman roads."

Travel To Burma: A Touch Of Freedom?
Has life become any easier for Burmese citizens? Has the recent "election" of a new government given reason for optimism?
Revisiting the country after almost a decade - and an encounter with Aung San Suu Kyi - leaves a mixed impression. Should we go there on holiday ?
Admittedly, a handful of well-stocked supermarkets in Yangon, some clubs and a few trendy restaurants were not there before. And after spending 15 out of the last 21 years in house arrest, "The Lady" is now free to move about. Nobody I met seemed to regret the generals' move to the countryside, after having built a grandiose monument to their own isolation in the brand new capital of Naypidaw, built at huge expense in a country remaining one of the world's poorest. There they comfortably reside, miles away and out of sight from the squalor and poverty to which they have sentenced their 50 million countrymen.
The November "election" did offer a few seats in the new parliament to a somewhat disorganised opposition, and in theory at least offers a forum for political dialogue - although the revised constitution guarantees the military continued power. Critics describe the new constitution as mere window dressing, camouflaging the regime's reluctance so far to engage in open public debate.
Regardless, little of this presents much hope to Yangon's homeless or the poor street hawkers and the merchants, still resigned to display their shoddy goods, cheap souvenirs and outdated magazines on the decrepit sidewalks of the city, plying their trade in the fumes from cars emitting grey clouds of exhaust - for those lucky enough to afford the scarce petrol. Nor does it change the lives of the rice farmers and oxcarts drivers in the countryside, or the destiny of women, hunched over small heaps of pebbles, fixing holes...

John Isner of USA wins the longest tennis match in history at Wimbledon, London, Britain - 24 Jun 2010
US tennis player John Isner finally triumphed over French opponent Nicolas Mahut in the longest tennis match ever played.
In a battle that stretched over three days at Wimbledon, both players entered the fifth set at 2 sets apiece, knowing that the winner would have to beat his opponent by two clear games, as the rules at the All England Tennis Club dictate.
However, neither player, nor umpire or crowd, would expect the match to be so even that both players kept holding their serve as the number of games won grew ever larger.
Bad light at the end of the second day sent the players home to rest with the final set level at a staggering 59 games each.
However, after the third day of play commenced and after 11 hours 5 minutes of total playing time, US seed Isner finally broke Mahut (FOTO:DUKAS/REX)
