4. A petaflop is a measurement of computing speed equivalent to one thousand trillion calculations a second.

5. Rwanda has its own Archers radio soap - an everyday story of cassava-farming folk.

6. Komodo dragons don't kill their prey outright - instead their bacteria-laden saliva causes septicaemia.

7. Dolphin pods have no leader.

8. Pigs can suffer from mysophobia, a fear of dirt.

9. One in 10 people have a piercing other than on the earlobe.

10. Egyptian law says the age gap between spouses should not exceed 25 years.

Seen 10 things? . Thanks to Richard Jenkinson for this week's picture of "10 shoes belonging to uber-fans of the Magazine Monitor", and Ed of London for one thing.

Earlier this month I congratulated myself for having thought up the pun "Irish ayes are smiling" for use if the referendum said "yes". Now I look at today's Metro front page saying "Irish ayes smile on Brown" and I realise that if I actually use that pun tomorrow I will seem hopelessly derivative and past it. Is there some department at Monitor Towers that could help me? (This letter should not be seen as advocating any Punorama-type contests.)

The fourth image in is accompanied by the description "Duke University researchers created an invisibility cloak in 2006". Personally, I think it looks like a pound coin being sliced trivial-pursuit-pizza-style by lasers. Now, either that thing is the invisibility cloak, in which case it doesn't work, because I can see it, or it isn't the invisibility cloak, in which case why use the image?

Paper Monitor has always had a soft spot for Roo-ney puns, and the Wayne-Coleen nuptials throw up a fresh crop, a la... "The Roo-yal wedding" - the Mirror; "Bride and Roon" - the Sun... and the wet weather lends a helping hand to those who like their word play... "I thee wet" (the Sun), "Coleen's wetting day" (Daily Mail).

In fact, since this has widely been labelled the wedding of the year, there's a sad paucity of coverage beyond the Mirror, Sun and Mail. Not surprising you may think, given the lockdown on access thanks to OK! buying up the entire rights to pictures... a ban that even seems to extend to OK!'s sister publication, the Daily Express. Not even for the sake of a little cross promotion. There's nothing, nada, niente to employ the vernacular or the Rooney's current host country.

Instead, readers are presented with what's known in the journalism trade as a "management must" - a picture of the paper's proprietor Richard Desmond posing alongside drummer Jason Bonham. The fiercely impartial headline reads "Roll up for the best gig in town" which leads us to the point of this exercise: Mr Desmond is himself a drummer, we're told, and the two are teaming up for a charity (not the "C" word) gig with Desmond's group, the RD Crusaders, at the weekend. Two drummers in one group. A bit Adam and the Ants retro, no?

Altogether now: "Marco, Merrick and Jason B, Gary Tibbs and yours truly".

What with the outrageous deals pulled off by Brown in order to buy the DUP's votes, coupled with the recent reports of the PM (Prime Minister, not Paper Monitor) telephoning people in the early hours, it has got me wondering whether he intends to contact every voter personally before the next election to see what we want in return for our votes.

Many thanks to Mark, Reading, (Wednesday's Letters) for his kind offer to assist Claire and I, but in this instance I'm afraid I must indeed decline.

All milk out here in Bolivia and I'm dubious about the environmental merits. I seem to lose about half the bag due to accidents opening the bag (milk squirting everywhere), finding a suitable container (milk spilling everywhere) and finally milk going off due to not having a nice sterile container (milk smelling everywhere). I can't help suspecting that returnable and reusable glass bottles were a more environmentally friendly option.
Jessica, La Paz, Bolivia

As a frequent visitor to North America I am very familiar with milk in plastic bags. They're a standard item in grocery stores. I would imagine every home in North America not only has one of the plastic holders in their refrigerator, but also a safety cutter - to nip off one corner of a new bag - attached to the refrigerator door with a magnet. You get used to them, but I agree that surely reusable bottles and electric milk floats are far better?

Fresh off the red-eye from the Big Apple, Paper Monitor races to its post to bring you, dear reader, the recommended daily allowance of newsy nuggets.

Well, I say "races". It takes time, people, to locate one's travelcard when the past few days have been spent hopping in and out of big yellow taxis. And to source a coffee when one's eyes are propped open with matchsticks. Not to mention actually find one's way out of the airport complex.

But there's a job to do, and so to it. Sir Alan finally chose his apprentice last night, but since Paper Monitor has yet to catch up with that crucial episode of its favourite and its best telly show, a veil shall be drawn over the matter.

Which does pose a bit of a problem at the newsstand. With eyes averted, Paper Monitor attempts to chose a newspaper "sans Apprentice" by feel alone...

Oops, that's the Daily Telegraph, best steer clear as a paper that's the choice of captains of industry will surely cover the business sitcom...

The Guardian, Sun, Dailies Star, Mirror and Mail, the Times and Metro all give off a strong whiff of men's cologne, so those in search of an Apprentice-free zone should steer clear.

And that leaves just two choices. The Daily Express, aerated about fuel prices, and the Independent, which gives pause with its front page headline "WINNER... OR LOSER?" but it's a false alarm, despite all its blahing about backroom deals and last-ditch efforts - it's Gordon Brown.

But disaster! Having finally chosen the Indie as a sure bet for an Apprentice-free zone, Paper Monitor is confronted by the grinning mugs of Sir Alan and aiwfroaidsfgvbnsdpfubgeq0tv.

(Monitor note: We apologise for the interruption to this service due to Paper Monitor's sleeping head hitting the keyboard. Normal service will resume tomorrow.)

"I'm Man United" - Apprentice winner Lee illustrates his performance on the show.

Despite the "reverse pteradactyl" impression in a high pressure interview and the "That's what I'm talking about!" catchphrase, Lee McQueen survived 12 intense weeks on TV to win the plum job as Alan Sugar's Apprentice. And Lee can't help coming over all football pundit, likening his victory, at the end of the day, to a Wembley final "because the underdog can still win." And it's a consistent showing from Lee that he reckons sealed his victory: "I delivered every time... If you think of it from a league table point of view, I'm Man United."

Re: ? Might I suggest that the bag of milk isn't really there to "replace the traditional doorstep pint" in terms of being kinder to the environment? Surely the "traditional doorstep pint" is delivered in a reusable (even better than recyclable) bottle using a fairly environmentally friendly method of transportation. Can the, presumably, plastic bag, sheet of instructions and disposal of "container jug" (when a new and better model comes along) be all that better for the environment than other efforts?

The notion that P Diddy, or any of his incarnations, is the most important man in the world of rap (Wednesday's Quote of the Day) is laughable at best. KRS-ONE, Afrika Bambaataa, Grandmaster Flash, Fab 5 Freddy and whole horde of others have been responsible for more inspiration, innovation, development, promotion and mainstreamning that he has. and I suspect ever will. All P Diddy has done, in the grand scheme of things, is over-market, genericise and commodify rap to make it barely distinguishable from pop. Hardly laudable actions deserving of celebration.

An innocent abroad. That's what Paper Monitor is in New York, having tagged along with the bods chosen to pick up the ³ÉÈËÂÛ̳ News website's Webby Award.

So it's fortunate that Flight of the Conchords was part of the in-flight entertainment, with an episode in which Kiwi musicians Brett and Jermaine get some valuable tips on negotiating the mean streets of the Big Apple. So Paper Monitor is now wearing a hi-vis belt, carrying an unfolded map at all times, and is avoiding crowds in favour of back alleys, all the better to avoid muggers.

And so to the papers. The Onion, which Paper Monitor has previously only perused in its online guise, is dispensed in paper form from the street-corner boxes familiar from the movies. Eager to read more on the promised feature "Where [John McCain]'d Be If Not Running For President: Dead" and tickled by the weather forecast for snow - "somewhere in the world, snow is falling", Paper Monitor pounces. All copies gone, to be replaced with discarded taco wrappers. That, surely, is a comment on the transitory nature of news.

Stepping from the heat of the city streets to the cool of a neighbourhood deli, Paper Monitor pays its money for a cawfee and copies of the New York Post and New York Times.

Boy, Americans sure use words. Lots of 'em. Portions are big on this side of the Atlantic. The broadsheet Times (or is it closer to a Berliner format?) packs its front page with six articles, one picture story - on the sweltering and near-record breaking weather - and a dozen puffboxes trailing what's inside. Such as on the Sports pages. Not the Sport pages, as these are always known by Fleet Street's finest. And pages two and three are largely taken up with more summaries of "what's in today's edition".

The tabloid Post, too, doesn't mince its word count. It starts with an A* effort at a poster front page - "ATTACK OF THE KILLER TOMATOES - DISEASE FEARS SPUR CRISIS FOR BURGER LOVERS" on the news that McDonald's et al are serving tomato-less burgers because of a salmonella scare - but each news page has more text than the Sun, Daily Mirror and Star combined.

But for all the differences, some things remain the same. It's hot here, crazy hot, with the mercury hitting 33C. And that means to picture editors across the world that it is time to send out the snappers with an easy brief: find a young lady, in a bikini, cooling off. The Post has an obligatory blonde in a halter top standing in front of a super-size fan. The Times is a little more coy, having its bikini-clad lovelies as the out-of-focus backdrop to a single, naked foot peeking above the waters of a beach in the Bronx.

Whew. Hot enough for you? Paper Monitor is off now to seek a cool breeze on Brooklyn Bridge's raised walkway.

A few cursory observations in advance of a more intrepid Paper Monitor later today.

Does Donald Trump really trump the competition when it comes to global comb-over recognition? The Times and Guardian seem to think so, both christening him the "world's most famous comb-over". Paper Monitor concedes that neither Neil Kinnock or Arthur Scargill, nor the great Bobby Charlton could rival Trump in the global fame stakes, but is there a better-known purveyor of the hinged head rug? Suggestions via the comments button below.

There's a similar display of journalistic intuition in Redtopsville with the Sun and Mirror preparing for the upcoming Rooney nuptials by running their own A-Z guides.

But while both agree that B is for butterflies (guests will each be given a box with a butterfly to release), E is for Elsie Lindsay (Coleen's personal trainer) and Y is for yacht (do you really to ask?), there is clearly need for some voice of authority here. Is A for Alder Hey (the Sun) or Abbey (Mirror)? Is C for cricket (Mirror) or champagne breakfasts (Sun)? And so on.

Finally, an almost overlooked gem from the giveaway Nature Spotting booklet in Saturday's Guardian. Among the serious write-ups about spotting otters, wild boar, deer, badgers and so on, nestled this astonishing treasure. A question and answer session with "Sam Fox on foxes!"

A taster: "Do you like foxes? Oh I do yes. I've got a family in my garden... Were you pro the hunting ban? Yes, of course I was... Would you say you were a fox?..." If you can really be bothered

"Morning, everybody. Windy, huh?" - Donald Trump's precarious hairdo is ruffled as he lands on the Isle of Lewis.

Mr Trump is testifying in Aberdeen at the public inquiry into his plan to build a top-end golf resort along a protected stretch of coastline. He may be an uber-succesful billionaire magnate from America, as well as the face (and executive producer) of the US Apprentice but The Times has him nailed as the "world's most famous comb-over". Perhaps momentarily more pressing for him than convincing the enviromentalists, is how to keep his coiff coiffed in the Outer Hebrides, reputed wind-power capital of Europe.

Yet more nominative determinism - the Conservative Chief Whip in the European Parliament was Den Dover (say it quickly)...
Fred, Rotherham

Nominative determinism? Look no further than Canada. While living in Toronto, I bought my stereo system from a store called Mr Hi-Fi. What else was he going to end up selling with a surname like that? Not only that, but my lunchtime sandwiches were bought from a chain called Mr Sub, the soup division of which was called - you guessed it - Mrs Soup. I actually asked an employee if Mr Soup minded Mrs Soup spending so much time with Mr Sub, or whether Mrs Soup was actually Mrs Sub, but had decided to retain her maiden name of Soup because of her line of work. I don't know whether it was a staff training issue or what, but would you believe the employee hadn't got a clue what I was on about... Oh, and I think I'm obliged to say "other hi-fi and submarine sandwich outlets are available."

I hate to nit-pick with Stuart Taylor's nit-pick regarding division by zero. Mathematically you can divide by zero - but in the real world there is no way of putting nothing into something... And I have it on good authority that little fact WILL impress the ladies.
Graham Bell, Braunton, UK

Actually Helen, Luxembourg (Letters, Friday), in most cases x/0 is explicitly left undefined, even if x=0 - ie mathematicians say "You are not allowed to do this". Although there are some situations in which it is useful to define a symbol to represent "x divided by zero" - often something we call "infinity" - you have to be very careful about doing so. In particular, you must accept that you usually can't do normal arithmetic with "infinity" and get meaningful answers (e.g., as we've already said, ending up with 1=2). In computer arithmetic, division by zero usually either results in an error message, or a special value called "NaN" - Not a Number. Anyway, the point is there are vastly more interesting counter-intuitive things in maths, so can we please talk about them instead of this?
Dave Taylor, Leeds, UK

Helen, Friday's letters. No time to go into the differences between
multiplying by zero and the implications of trying to divide by zero, but can you just assure all of us that your job in Luxembourg is unrelated to anything to do with numbers, finance or formulae that might somehow affect the rest of us in Europe? Thanks.

Friends, it seems like yesterday that, with innocent joy in our hearts, we opened the Guardian and let out an excited yelp that, yes, yes, yes, the longed-for wallchart of butterflies plopped on to the floor.

Remember how we ran with boyish/girlish glee to show mummy what we had got? And how she said yes, we could put it up on our bedroom wall so long as we were careful not to get Blu-tak on the wallpaper?

Now of course times are harder. Colder. Rougher. More cynical. Mere wallcharts have long lost their power to delight.

No, what we need are wallcharts which fold into little unstapled booklets. And that's what the Guardian has given us today. They are calling it a "foldie" in the hope that it sounds cooler.

On Saturday the paper tried to make a virtue of triumph of hype over reality, by billing the arrival of the "foldie" on the front page, with a little diagram. "[W]e are introducing a revolutionary new format to the Guardian stable: the foldie. We will use this lovingly crafted device - sweated over by paper technicians and inky fingered printers - to bring you beautiful pocket-sized guides..." blah blah blah.

Three points.
1. Didn't realise the Guardian had a stable. Sounds quaint.
2. There's that "device" thing again (remember the Telegraph introduced a device which turned out to be a logo saying "Was Is and Will Be" without actually saying what was, what is and what will be?) When will the world of newspapers realise that devices need batteries??? Get with the plan, boys, it's not that difficult.
3. Those diagrams? Reminds Paper Monitor of the rather strange guide they had in the new but still rather strange Times2 last week on how to peel an orange, which was lucky to escape further note at the time.

Anyway, if the whole butterfly thing does strike you as being familiar, you're right. It was just two years and 23 days ago that the Guardian's butterfly wallchart was released into the wild. No doubt there have been developments in lepidoptery in that time, but Paper Monitor can't help but think that the only thing really joining the Guardian's stable is a format in need of a subject.

In any case, we don't like being left out. So your suggestions, please, especially if they are nifty non-proprietary photo editing software format, of how one might conceivably fold a webpage. Send via Comments below, or send images to the.magazine@bbc.co.uk with "Nifty folding webpage idea" in the subject line.

Sir Jonathan is not happy at the state of theatre in London's West End, particularly the use of celebrity actors to shift tickets. David Tennant is one of those who has been called in to put bums on seats. It's all too much for Sir Jonathan, whose main recreational activity in his Who's Who entry is "deep sleep".
