from the hip

Or so they claim. The Danish newspaper BT writes that more than every second Dane, 54%, have had sex in the kitchen according to a representative survey. And sex in the kitchen is even more frequent among the people living in Copenhagen than in the rest of the country – six out of every ten in Copenhagen.

According to the Danish newspaper, this almost makes them the world champions of kitchen sex. However, they are not quite on the top, the Japanese and the Swedes both beat them by a narrow margin. But the Danes also proudly announce that they are way ahead of the British – only 40% in the UK have ever done it in the kitchen!

I trust the Danes will strive to improve their position in the future.

Keith Richards, the magnificent guitar-riffer, apparently finds it difficult to write his memoirs.  Media reports earlier said that after a bidding war the price ended up above US $ 7 million, a pretty hefty sum, as music-based books are traditionally not big sellers.
Keith Richards is a pretty cool guy, who doesn’t mind telling the occasional lie:

Richards has never been shy about expressing his opinions in interviews, with Jagger often bearing the brunt of his acerbic wit. The guitarist got himself into big trouble with his own family earlier this year when he claimed that he snorted the ashes of his dead father. He hastily backtracked after generating worldwide headlines.

According to Danish newspaper BT, Keith is working with his biography, and finds it very exciting. However, having spent a large portion of his life in a fog of drugs and liqueur, he finds that he doesn’t always remember how things were. “Sometimes I just have to call the others and ask them what really happened”, he says.

And he also says that his daily pot smoking doesn’t really make writing any easier. But he has plenty of time, of course. The book isn’t due until 2010. Lots of pot from here to then.
