Crazy World: Grandpa at 29, granny at 30...

BRITAIN: Shem Davies, 29 and Kelly John, 30, became Britain's youngest grandparents when their 14-year-old daughter gave birth to Gracie in July. The little girl's father, Jordan Williams is 15.

Tia was born when her parents were 15 years old, reports Daily Mail.

The unemployed grandpa told the daily: "said: 'It is an absolute joy to see Gracie thriving. I'm incredibly proud of Tia. She'll be a brilliant mum. At first I wasn't overly pleased that she was pregnant but I soon got over than. Now it's all about being positive."

The daily was also told that nurses in the maternity wing of the hospital thought Davies was too fresh-faced and they insisted that he prove he was over the age of 16 before he could see his own grandchild.

Tia, the mother of the little child, plans to become a haridresser once she finishes schooling. The new father who sat his final school examinations just weeks before his daughter appeared, said he understands responsibility. He told the daily: 'I'm captain of the school rugby team and that's like having 14 kids.'

Woman sues over forgotten surgical sponge

SYDNEY: An Australian woman who lived for more than 15 years with a grapefruit-sized surgical sponge sewn inside her after abdominal surgery was to sue her doctor for negligence, a report said Monday.

Helen O'Hagan claims the sponge was left in her abdominal cavity by surgeon Samuel Sakker during a 1992 colectomy, according to the Sydney Morning Herald.

She suffered cramps, fevers and loss of bowel control but attributed it to the long-running health issues that landed her in hospital to begin with, and did not discover the sponge until an October 2007 x-ray.

During that time the sponge "became encapsulated in dense fibrous adhesions within a sac of fluid", the Herald said. It was removed by a different surgeon on the same day that it was found.

O'Hagan won the right to sue Sakker for negligence or breach of contract over the incident, despite the now-retired doctor calling for the case to be dismissed because she had taken so long to start legal action.

Judge Leonard Levy accepted that O'Hagan was so preoccupied with her health woes, having been hospitalised 23 times since 1970, she did not initially seek answers about how the sponge had ended up inside her.

The delay was compounded by the fact that the surgeon who removed the sponge was posted interstate for the next three years and did not tell O'Hagan it could only have been left there by Sakker until last May.

The lawsuit begins this week.

Break into Facebook user data, win $500

US: Facebook is offering rewards of $500 or more to people who find security vulnerabilities in the social network.

"To show our appreciation for our security researchers, we offer a monetary bounty for certain qualifying security bugs," Facebook said in a blog post.

Security researchers who are the "first person to responsibly disclose" a bug that could "compromise the integrity or privacy of Facebook user data" would be eligible for $US500 ($453), Facebook said.

"Our security team will assess each bug to determine if qualifies," Facebook said.

The website said a typical bounty was $500 but it "may increase the reward for specific bugs".

Facebook last month hired George Hotz, a celebrated hacker known as "GeoHot", but has not disclosed what he is doing for the company.

Hotz was sued by Sony for hacking the Japanese company's PlayStation 3 game console and is credited with being the first person to go public with a way to hack into an iPhone.
