In a study, men who were played recordings of a range of women's voices judged those with higher-pitched tones the most attractive - especially when asked to choose who they would favour for a one-night stand.

The researchers, at Pennsylvania State University, believe that higher voices in women may have evolved to sound youthful, flirty and attractive

An iron used for a wedding suit, a rear-view mirror broken in a jealous fit and a lower leg prosthesis -- at first it's hard to find any link between the items on display at a new museum in Croatia.
