Roberto Carlos goal wasn't a fluke

French scientists say Carlos's famous goal could be repeated if a ball was kicked hard enough, with the appropriate spin and, crucially, the kick was taken sufficiently far from goal.

Oh you don't say !!!!!

I don't recall a single person, be they pundit, friend or anyone else who thought it was a fluke? Obviously the research on why cornflakes go soggy when you add milk to them is complete :-\

Indeed. It's a pet hate of mine - the totally inane things that some scienists waste their undeniable talents on:(

I'm going to apply for a grant to research why coffee turns a lighter colour when you add milk!

I've heard that some people keep an empty carton of milk in the fridge. Just in case someone asks for a black coffee :o

According to my extensive research that would be an empty milk carton rather than an empty carton of milk :P
