Need a 10-minute break? Step into the Reading Room…

NYC, the Khorasan and a three-breasted woman…

Try these nuggets for size – all take 10 minutes or less to enjoy.

1. Trip through NYC

Can we go to NYC now? That’s what you’ll be asking after you watch this. Swift but lovely.  [Piot Wancerz - 2 mins]

2. Three-breasted woman…

By now you’ve probably heard about the alleged ‘three-boobed woman’ in the US. But as Amy writes over on DailyEdge.ie, there are compelling reasons for this being a giant hoax… [DailyEdge.ie - 5mins]

3. What is Khorasan?

The United States and allies from five Arab nations launched airstrikes against Islamic State militants this week – but also against a group called Khorasan. If you’re wondering who Khorasan are, this Mashable explainer is good. [Mashable - 2mins]

4. Feminism

Did you miss Emma Watson‘s speech about feminism at the UN? Here you go. [TheJournal.ie]

    I’m sick to the teeth of Enda Kenny. I cringe every time I see him and it gets worse when I remember he’s the leader of my country, how the hell did it happen???

    He became leader because Richard Bruton made a balls of the Fine Gael leadership challenge and Fianna Fail made a balls of the country. Wrong man in the right place so to speak.
    Ther was a film about it a few years back called ‘The Accidental Taoiseach’……

    F*cking cringeworthy stuff. I actually got embarrassed watching that. Memories of the Calor Housewife of the year competition. And as for Enda. Suffering Jasus!

    I honestly don’t know how he shows his face in public. I’d be gone into hiding, never to be seen again.

    At the start of the video, the presenter grabs the runners-up hand first of all and then swapsover. Poor woman probably thought she won.

    Did Enda not ask Betty Williams if winning the baking competition meant as much as the Nobel Peace Prize?
