From the BBC news website….
Israeli minister in vision gaffe
Israeli newspapers have printed photos of Defence Minister Amir Peretz trying to watch military manoeuvres through binoculars with the lens caps still on. Mr Peretz was inspecting troops in the Golan Heights with the Israeli army’s new chief of staff, Gen Gabi Ashkenazi.
According to the photographer, Mr Peretz looked through the capped binoculars three times, nodding as Gen Ashkenazi explained what was in view.
Analysts say it is a new blow for the embattled defence minister.
Mr Peretz’s popularity has fallen in the wake of last year’s war against Hezbollah militants in Lebanon.
But one Israeli paper pointed out that he is not the first prominent official to make this mistake.
According to daily Yediot Ahronot, US President George W Bush and former Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon have both done the same thing.

most pointless invention of 2007…..so far…
It has been hailed as the first major development in bicycle design for 150 years. The Sideways Bike has a steerable wheel with a set of handlebars at either end.
The cyclist sits sideways and operates a wheel with each hand, and pedalling makes the whole bike travel sideways.
Its key advantage is that it’s more manoeuvrable than a conventional bike, says its inventor Michael Killian, 46, a software engineer in Dublin.
