A newly-invented knife that will be difficult to use in stabbing and keep kitchen users safe from accidental injury will be out in the U.K. market this year.

The knife, invented by industrial designer John Cornock, has a round instead of pointed tip that will snag on clothing and skin making it quite ineffective as a weapon.

Michael Jackson has demanded all the children in his choir know sign language. The "Thriller" singer is due to kick-off his 50-date residency at London's O2 arena next month and has sent an email telling promoters AEG the requirements he wants for his team of young singers.

A source said: "Normally when we cast choirs for acts, it's quite a laborious task. But in this case, it's proving a near impossibility. Jackson is a perfectionist and wants it exactly right and that means every child being able to do sign language."

The Food and Drug Administration is warning consumers not to use hand sanitizers made by a Utah chemical company.

Clarcon Biological Chemistry Laboratory Inc. of Roy, Utah has voluntarily recalled some of its skin sanitizers and skin protectants marketed under different brand names because of high levels of disease-causing bacteria found in the product during a recent inspection by the FDA.

A 10-year-old girl in England has to lead a severely restricted lifestyle because she is effectively allergic to the 21st century.

So far doctors have been unsuccessful in explaining why Molly Harrad has such a severe and rare condition, but they have told her parents she would not have suffered from any of her allergies if she'd been born 100 years ago, England's Daily Telegraph reported.

Japanese scientists have created the world's first transgenic monkeys that can pass to their offspring genes that make their skin glow a fluorescent green, according to the journal Nature.

The scientists successfully integrated the GFP gene of a jellyfish into the DNA of the common marmoset, said the research published in this week's issue of the science magazine. Monkeys born to the genetically-engineered marmoset inherited the GFP genes so the skin on the soles of their feet also glows green when exposed to ultraviolet light.
