    In Chinese medicine I think it was used to treat burns but I as far as I know that wasn't restricted to women.
    Are you referring to Bovril helping the housewife produce nourishing meals in the 19th century?

    No to either. This was very definitely restricted to women as it simply has no application for men.

    Dates back to 1930, when a certain effect was noticed after the injection of extracts from an ox's pituitary gland.

    That's probably a step too far.

    The injection wasn't given to a woman - it was given to a frog.

    That's it.

    Scientist Lancelot Hogben, who had a strange predilection for injecting hormones into frogs, injected the pituitary gland extract into a South African Xenopus frog - and noted that it started laying eggs. Knowing that the urine of pregnant women contains hormones from the pituitary gland, he put two and two together and set about developing the 'pee on a stick' pregnancy test.

    Over to you.

    Sheriff Tiraspol's stadium and they beat Real Madrid on Tuesday which was a tad unexpected.

    I think that's the stadium of FC Sherriff Tiraspol - the first team from an unrecognised state to get through to the group stages of the Champions League.

    Cheers Yorkie! A fairly simple one now. A world record of 231.523 mph was set in 2005. What was it for?
