Patch the puppy has familiar face.

Patch has a dark mark on his top lip mirrors just like Fuhrer's moustache

He also has a large brown area over his left ear, like Hitler's hair

But his owner, from York, insists the resemblance ends there

She says Patch is gentle and loveable - unlike his spitting image

A dark mark on his top lip mirrors the Fuhrer's famous moustache. And another large brown area over his left ear completes the look of the 20th Century dictator.

When Lynda Whitehead introduced her new puppy Patch to her family, she didn’t realise quite how much of a führer he would cause. For while the cute seven-week-old is quiet and cuddly, her daughter spotted his uncanny resemblance to Adolf Hitler. Now he inspires her grandsons to do the goose-step and even responds to being called Adolf or Hitler.¨

But, according to his owner, the resemblance ends there as Patch - unlike Hitler - has a lovable temperament.

The tiny puppy, a cross between French bulldog and a shih tzu, has two brothers and lives with owner Lynda in York.

She said no-one calls him by his real name any more and Patch is starting to obey orders - as 'Adolf' or 'Hitler'.

What does your handwriting say about you?

- People who write letters close together are intrusive and crowd others
- Illegible signatures mean a person is private and difficult to understand
- Words or sentences that vary to the rest of the text suggest it is a lie
- Schizophrenia and high blood pressure can also be identified from writing

By VICTORIA WOOLLASTON

Are you an outgoing, sceptical people pleaser? Or an arrogant, practical person who has a tendency to lie?

According to research from the National Pen Company in the U.S., your handwriting can give away clues about 5,000 different personality traits based on the way you space your letters, how you sign your name, and even how you connect the letter 'o' and 's' to other letters in a word.

It can even be used to identify potential health problems including schizophrenia, high blood pressure as well as how much energy you have.

"Thanks to Google's Street View project it is possible to travel to travel to the far reaches of the Earth without ever leaving your armchair.

But although the search giant's mapping project is ongoing, there are limits to the virtual journeys possible on the world-beating online service.

Inspired in part by the geography game GeoGuessr, Atlantic blogger Ian Taylor set out to find out just where the end of the road lies on Google Street View."

X-traordinary! Life size X-Wing is largest Lego ever built (Daily Mail)

- Model took four months to complete

- Built in the LEGO Model Shop in Kladno, Czech Republic

- X-Wing is a 42x the size of LEGO Star Wars set #9493

- Steel was used to enable it to withstand the rumble of the subway and earthquakes

An enormous Star Wars X-Wing spaceship has landed in New York's Times Square.

It took 32 master builders more than five million LEGO bricks and too 17,000 hours to put together the full-scale replica of the Star Wars fighter.

The Lego X-Wing is the largest Lego model in history. It's as big as the real thing and would be capable of fitting the real Luke Skywalker inside.

The full scale mode imitates the official $60 Lego 9493 X-Wing Fighter - except it's just 42 times larger.

However instead of just 560-pieces and a few inches in length, this model uses more than five million pieces. It's 11-feet tall, 43-feet long and has a 44-foot wingspan.

The engines also glow and roar as per the films - and you can sit inside.

The Star Wars-themed, 46,000-pound spacecraft arrived in 34 sections by container ship from Kladno in the Czech Republic.

Professor Vitaly Larichev, of the Institute of Archaeology and Ethnography at the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences, claims that the 16,000-year-old site was not only a place of huge religious significance in the ancient world, but also its stargazing capital.

Inside Mussolini's wartime bunker: First pictures of fascist leader's secret lair (Daily Mail)

- Experts said the underground chamber was the dictator's 'last bunker'

- It was only discovered after engineers stumbled across an iron hatch

- Bunker contains nine rooms but was never finished before he was arrested

- The chamber, under the former fascist headquarters, will be open to public

By HANNAH ROBERTS

"Pictures of Benito Mussolini's last wartime bunker that he built to protect him from an RAF bomb attack have been released for the first time.

The reinforced concrete cell, constructed 50ft below the former fascist headquarters in Rome, was so secret it was not discovered until 2011.

Historians believe Mussolini, one of Hitler's closest allies during the Second World War, had the underground bunker built for himself and his mistress Claretta Petacci."
