Daily News… END OF THE WORLD: GANGNAM STYLE? If the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are about to descend on Earth, it seems one might be riding in from South Korea on an invisible steed to the tune of «Gangnam Style». South Korean social networks and websites have been buzzing in recent days over a prediction attributed to the 16th century French seer Nostradamus, that suggests the singer Psy is not the smiling, benign 34-year-old rapper he appears. «From the calm morning, the end will come when of the dancing horse the number of circles will be nine,» reads the «prophecy» being circulated on websites, Facebook and Twitter. An obvious fake, the quote has its origins in a video posted online in November by a Frenchman who claims to be writing a thesis on Renaissance-era literature and just happened to stumble upon Nostradamus’ supposed prophecy. The only hiccup is this so-called thesis writer is actually Simon Gosselin, a blogger and videographer who invented everything for fun. «Three weeks ago, I was with a friend when Psy’s video became the most popular in the world,» he told AFP. «We said it was a sign that the end of the world was approaching and invented the prophecy.» His joke subsequently became the basis for a spoof five-minute «documentary» posted on YouTube that ties Nostradamus and Psy to the December 21 apocalypse prophesied by the Mayans and has garnered nearly 1.5 million views. The interpretation is compelling. South Korea is known as «land of the morning calm», the dancing horse is Psy’s signature dance style and the nine circles refer to the nine zeroes he will rack up when the «Gangnam Style» video passes one billion YouTube views. The number of views currently stands at nearly 972 million, and it could reach the billion mark on or around December 21.

International News… CHRISTMAS WITH 25,000 FREELOADERS «Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse.» Er, not quite. Get a magnifying glass and take a close look at your Christmas tree, says a scientist. In all likelihood, it is harbouring thousands of bugs. Bark lice, mites, moths and the odd spider are among the tiny creatures that live on pine trees and find themselves dragged into homes when Christmas comes around, says Bjarte Jordal at Norway’s University Museum of Bergen. Stimulated by the lights and warmth, they emerge from hibernation in your living room.
POLICE ARREST LUXURY WINE VANDAL Italian police on Tuesday arrested a former employee at a prestigious Brunello di Montalcino winery for pouring out barrels worth millions of euros in a case that has shaken up the tranquil Tuscan hills. Andrea Di Gisi was caught after police bugged his car and heard him telling his nephew he had washed off wine stains from the jeans he wore the night he broke into the cellar at the Case Basse chateau and carried out the deed. They said that De Gisi had acted out of revenge after several reprimands and after the chateau’s manager allocated some housing to another employee.
