Ever the eccentric, Fidel Castro has been outed as a boxers burner by a former bodyguard. Delfín Fernandez says that paranoia with assassination has resulted in the Cuban leader giving orders to incinerate his underwear after each use. Fearful of a chemical attack on his nether regions, Castro insists on wearing new underwear every day. Does he wear Calvin Kleins you may ask?

One must wonder too if the Taoiseach is mindful of a similar chemical threat to his face considering the fact that he spent €19,000 on make-up last year. MaxFactor have yet to comment on whether the Taoiseach Ahern's foundation could be laced with a life-threatening substance.
