RAF Bombs Out - Over Scotland
An RAF fighter jet has accidentally dropped a bomb on Scotland. The 14-kilogram practice bomb was lost from a Tornado GR4 aircraft during a routine flight from RAF Lossiemouth in Moray. RAF authorities do not know if the device survived the fall and have yet to locate the bomb but warned the public against touching it. Practice bombs are not live devices but look like real bombs.

It’s Enough To Make You Blubber
Whale Had A Nervous Tic (Tick-Tick, Tick-Tick)
Part of a 19th-century bomb has been found inside a whale. The fragment is part of a time delay bomb that was introduced in 1879 and manufactured until 1885. This suggests the bowhead whale may have swum its first strokes not long after the Civil War. Scientists say it is rare to find a whale more than 100 years old but believe some may reach 200. The nine-centimetre fragment was lodged in a wound inflicted about 1890.
