Siri's take on life and love

You can ask Siri anything. These people have...

Q: Sing me a lullaby Siri.

Siri: Rock a bye baby on a tree top. When the wind blows ... Oh, this one doesn't end well.

Q: What are your pick-up lines?

Siri: You auto-complete me.

Q: "I need to hide a body."

Siri: "What kind of place are you looking for?" - and she offers you a list of choices such as reservoirs, metal foundries, mines, dumps and swamps.

Q: "What are you wearing?"

Siri: "Aluminosilicate glass and stainless steel. Nice, huh?"

Q: Have you ever been in love?

Siri: Not as such. But I did have strong feeling for a cloud-based app once.

The legend lives on

North Korea's late leader Kim Jong Il was not just a prolific operatic scribe, he was also an avid golfer. According to Murray: "Kim reportedly picked up a golf club in 1994 and shot a 38-under par on a regulation 18-hole golf course - including no fewer than 11 holes in one. This would have put Kim head and shoulders above the world's best, if state media reports about his game were to be believed."

Customer's not always right

A reader writes: "Last night my wife phoned for a takeaway pizza then went down to Domino's to collect it. She arrived home quite grumpy. When she got to Domino's they had lost her order. After being subjected to her wrath they were most apologetic. About half an hour after getting home she received a call from Pizza Hut wondering why she hadn't picked up her order!"
