Is the monster of Lake Ness a lie?

It is the only question that everybody has. Is the monster a lie? Is it a legend or it's true that a monster lives in Scotland? Nobody knows it. The monster of Lake Ness is an attraction for a lot of tourists, but the monster hasn't been seen by anybody. We have not enough information about it.

The photos about it aren't many, but the stories of the Scottish people are numerous. Paul Johnson, an American scientific says: If this animal lives today, he is now more than four centuries old!

Some people believe that the monster is a dinosaur, but does a dinosaur live four hundred years? I don't know. When I was a kid, I believed that the monster really existed, but now I am not sure. It's probably a mythological animal, as the Minotaur, Hydra or Dragons.

A Valencian discotheque gives plastic surgery as a prize

A discotheque in the Valencian Community, Pacha, has announced a party where there will be a prize draw for a plastic surgery operation. All boys and girls will be able to participate at a cost of 20€ per entrance. This way of attracting new customers is not new: in Argentina there have been similar iniciatives in the past. Although a great controversy has been raised, the owner of the disco said that there is nothing unethical in this campaign, that it's just a new form of marketing that proves that not everything has already been done.

Time to cook!

Zucchini cream

You need:

• 1 zucchini per person
• 2 portions of 'Caserio' cheese
• salt

Peel the zucchinis. Then cut them in thin pieces. Boil the pieces until they are soft. Add the salt. Finally, put them in the blender until it becomes a cream. Add two pieces of cheese per person and press them to make a mixture. TIP!: If you feel a strong taste, you can add cream (milk) into the zucchini cream.
