It had to happen sometime

A WOMAN in a deep sleep sent emails to friends asking them over for wine and caviar in what doctors believe is the first reported case of ‘zzz-mailing’ – using the internet while asleep.

The case of the 44-year-old woman is reported by researchers from the University of Toledo in the latest edition of the medical journal Sleep Medicine.

They said the woman went to bed about 10pm but got up two hours later and walked to her computer in the next room, Britain’s Daily Mail newspaper reports.

She turned it on, connected to the internet, and logged on before composing and sending three emails.

Each was in a random mix of upper and lower cases, not well formatted and written in strange language, the researchers said.

One read: “Come tomorrow and sort this hell hole out. Dinner and drinks, 4pm,. Bring wine and caviar only.”

KSENYA Sukhinova from Russia was crowned Miss World 2008 after beating 108 other international beauties in a glittering extravaganza held in South Africa on Saturday.

“And Miss World 2008 is Russia,” announced Julia Morley, head of the Miss World committee that organises the event.

The second runner up was Gabrielle Walcott of Trinidad and Tobago and the first runner up Parvathay Omanakuttan of India.

The 21-year-old blue-eyed blonde beauty, who declared shortly before her win was announced that being nervous made her “feel stronger”, takes over from Zhang Zi Lin of China to become the 58th Miss World.

“I think I can help people and I want to help people and today if I walk away with this crown I will do that,” Sukhinova told judges through a translator after being asked why she should be crowned the winner.

Sheesh, they are getting older and older!

An Indian woman has given birth to her first child at the age of 70 after receiving IVF treatment, newspapers reported her doctor as saying Monday.

Rajo Devi, who married 50 years ago, gave birth to a baby girl on November 28 after in vitro fertilisation, said Anurag Bishnoi, a doctor at the Hisar fertility centre in Haryana state.

“Rajo Devi and (her husband) Bala Ram approached the centre for treatment and the embryo transfer was done on April 19,” he told the Hindustan Times. “Both the mother and child are in good health.”

Bishnoi claimed Devi was the world’s oldest mother.

Another 70-year-old Indian was reported to have given birth to twins via IVF in July this year, while a 66-year-old Spanish woman had twins in 2006.

Devi’s husband, aged 72, had also wed his wife’s sister after 10 years of his first marriage did not result in children. His second wife also failed to become pregnant.

It was not clear whose egg and sperm were used in the successful treatment.

“IVF has revolutionised the way we look at infertility,” said Bishnoi.

“Infertility is no longer a social taboo or a divine curse. It can be treated scientifically.”
