Russian Billionaire Roman Abramovich is awaiting the delivery of a yacht he bought for $354 million- reportedly the world's largest private yacht capable of fending off pirates.

The 500-foot Eclipse, about two-thirds the size of the German World War II battleship Bismarck, is equipped with a missile detector and radar equipment, and has bullet-proof windows and armor plating to protect the 41 year old Abramovich from pirates.

A large dose of nostalgia awaits club goers at the World's Largest Disco, where the spirit of the 70's is brought back in full swing.

The place was filled with around 7,000 people all towering in their platform shoes and wide collars as they try to bring back the spirit of the disco era at the Buffalo Niagara Convention Center.

Chinese newspapers reported on Friday that a ban on disco music in private rooms of nightclubs and karaoke bars have taken effect in an attempt to control the rise in illegal drug activity at Beijing's entertainment venues.

The Beijing Times newspaper said, "Because many drug takers regularly dance and go crazy to upbeat 'disco' music in private rooms, police have specially requested karaoke machines not have this music."

The Hymnal Plus, a karaoke-like machine that can play almost 3,000 hymns and songs, is becoming all the rage in English churches.

The British-made machine can play traditional songs familiar to churchgoers in a conventional fashion. However, for the more fun-loving parishioners, it's also capable of a disco version of "Amazing Grace" and a jazzed-up "The Lord's My Shepard."

Researchers looking for ways to eradicate toxic cane toads have found a way to trap them using ultra-violet "disco" lights.

Introduced from Hawaii in 1935, the pests are now an environmental menace, spreading in the millions across Australia's tropical north. Cane toads, some as big as dinner plates, can even kill crocodiles and wild dogs with their hallucinogenic venom.
