       And now, here is [hippo] continuing with the tale of convivial formalities, or is it formal convivialities?

       Jin Bish. Really quite extraordinary. Good evening. It was anounced today that. I'm sorry, it looks like we can't bring you that report right now. Coming up later. And now let's hear the next annotation.

       So she said "If you think _that's_ impressive, go and get a couple of apples and" - Uh, we're on? Hrrmph.   

       Zen, thanks. In entertainment news, youTube viewings of clips from "The Day Today" surged dramatically following an idea posted on the quirky Halfbakery website about pretending to talk like newsreaders.   

       When asked about the huge list this idea created, a spokesperson for the site, said "I don't like it, but I'm going to have to go along with it."

       It appears [calum]'s having some technical difficulties. We'll continue with that story when the situation improves.

       Boise Park. While the sound department works on that connection, here's a preview of "Your Health Matters" -- a microscopic look at ways to give yourself a fit a....
