London, Nov 30 : Officials have launched an investigation against “British Fritzl” for his involvement in other unsolved sex attacks around his hometown.

The 56-year-old businessman was last week given 25 years of life terms for abusing his daughters over a period of at least 25 years and fathering nine children with them.

However, now it is feared that he may have committed other crimes as well and thus officers are trawling through unsolved sex attacks in areas where he used to live.

“Here we have a man who showed a blatant dis-regard for what is right and wrong,” The Daily Star quoted a police source as saying.

London, Nov 30 : The Dalai Lama, the exiled Tibetan spiritual leader, has said that sexual intercourse provides but fleeting satisfaction, while chastity offers a better life and "more freedom".

He told reporters in a Lagos hotel that conjugal life causes too many "ups and downs".

"Sexual pressure, sexual desire, actually, I think is short-period satisfaction and, often, that leads to more complication," the Telegraph quoted him, as saying.

London, November 30 : A 29-year-old British man will try to become a ''freeconomist'' by living without money for 12 months.

Economics graduate Mark Boyle intends to live completely off the land, and waste products he scrounges around his borrowed caravan at Timsbury, near Bath.

Besides, he will be using his very own composting toilet.

"I''ve been preparing a lot over the last couple of months, but the challenge will be the things I can''t plan for - a broken arm, exhaustion or the worst case scenario, a family bereavement," Sky News quoted him as saying.

London, Nov 30: Britain is the most promiscuous western nation, according to a new survey.

In an index measuring one-night stands, numbers of partners and attitudes to sex, Britain comes out ahead of other industrialised nations such as Australia, the US, France, the Netherlands, Italy and Germany.

Some 14,000 people in 48 countries filled in questionnaires about casual sex and how many people they expected to sleep with in the next five years.

The results were turned into an index of ''sociosexuality'' - a measure of how sexually liberal people are in thought and behaviour.

London, Nov 30 : When it comes to sexual prowess, French men have been touted as the uncrowned leaders in the whole world – and now a survey has revealed that the same goes for their condom size.

The eight-month survey, conducted by the Institute of Condom Consultancy, based in Singen, southern Germany, asked over 10,500 men across 25 European countries to measure their penis. And the French came out on top with a claimed average length of 6.09 in (15.48 cm), reports The Telegraph.

They scored 1.2 in (3 cm) more than the Greeks, who had the shortest average measurement in Europe.

However, Jan Vinzenz Krause, the institute''s director, did not comment on how honest he thought the Frenchmen had been in reporting the data.

London, Nov 30 : They say cleanliness is next to godliness – and now University of Plymouth scientists have shown that soaping away your outer dirt can affect your moral judgment.

The research has shown that washing hands with soap and water makes people view unethical activities as more acceptable and reasonable than they would if they had not washed themselves.

To reach the surprising conclusion, 22 people who had washed their hands, and 22 who had not, were made to watch a disgusting scene from the film Trainspotting, about heroin addicts.
