Still going ... Energizer Bunny to turn 20
Pink drummer regarded as an icon in the advertising trade

Turns out he really does just keep going and going.

The Energizer Bunny, the symbol of battery maker Energizer Holdings Inc., debuted in commercials in 1989 and has,
well, kept going ever since.

Now entering his 20th year, the advertising icon has become famous enough that people who persevere beyond reasonable
expectation are often referred to, or call themselves, the "Energizer Bunny." Among the many references from politicians:

Happy Birthday Bunny, keep up the good work!

Ha, ha-the advertising agency got some extra press coverage as a result of the 20th birthday for Mr. Pink Bunny.

One day, expect that the drum will become some more modern instrument. However, the drum catches attention-everyone looks to see what the sound is all about.

New Year twins celebrate birthday

Twin sisters, believed to be the oldest in Britain, are celebrating their 101st birthdays.

Betty Richards and Jenny Pelmore, who live a mile apart in Truro, Cornwall, were delivered by a doctor who arrived
on horseback on New Year's Day, 1908.

The twins, who have lived in Cornwall for more than 50 years, said good health and keeping active was their secret to long life.

Mrs Pelmore has recently bought herself a new car. "I'm still driving and my new car is a Mitsubishi," she told BBC News.

"It's got lovely high seats, does nearly 85 miles to the gallon and is very comfortable - I'm very proud of it."

Scots celebrate bard's birthday

Thousands of people have taken part in events to mark the 250th anniversary of the birth of Robert Burns, Scotland's national bard.

The celebrations were led by First Minister Alex Salmond. It also marked the launch of a year-long programme of events which the Scottish Government hopes will raise the country's profile.

A procession took place in Dumfries and there were further events which took place in Alloway, Burns' birthplace. Sunday's events began with Mr Salmond attending a church service in Alloway, while Culture Minister Linda Fabiani and the Duke of Buccleuch took part in another commemorative event in Dumfries.

Mr Salmond later attended a wreath-laying ceremony at a statue of Burns in Ayr and then went on to the Dumfries lantern procession attended by thousands.
