AnswersAnswers
  1. It's after Bo the cat, who owns the girls' counsins. Also, Michelle Obama's father was nicknamed "Diddley" after the blues musician.
  2. It was for snow, given to the 224 - out of 1,400 - Crown Prosecution Service employees in London who made it to work on Monday 2 February.
  3. It's the controversial split-level diffuser on Jensen Button's Brawn GP car, which was cleared for use on Wednesday by the sport's governing body, the FIA. Meanwhile, an officer from the Met Police has been suspended for apparently hitting a woman at the G20 protests.
  4. It's "third" - 29% (just under a third) of men aged 20 to 34 live with their parents, according to new figures from the Office of National Statistics.
  5. It's Gordon Brown, speaking on a visit to Glasgow on Thursday, in which he also said: "I take full responsibility for what happened. That's why the person who was responsible went immediately."
  6. It's every four days, and the wife cannot lawfully refuse. The laws have been widely denounced by the international community.
  7. The quartet were babies, just 15cm - six inches - long. It was first feared that the other pythons in the cargo hold had eaten them, but this was discounted. As a search didn't turn up the reptiles, the plane was fumigated to kill the wee snakes.
