Sinatra buried with a few of his favourite thingsLOS ANGELES: Frank Sinatra was buried with some of his favourite things: a bottle of Jack Daniels whiskey, a pack of Camels, a Zippo lighter and 10 ten-cent coins. Daughter Tina Sinatra said carrying the coins dated back to the 1963 kidnapping of her brother, when her father wanted to make sure he always had pay phone change. "I think it came from Frankie's kidnapping, may be before," she said on CNN's Larry King Live. She placed the dimes in his pocket. Her sister, Nancy, put the bottle of whiskey in Sinatra's pocket and someone else slipped in the cigarettes and lighter. Sinatra, 82, died on May 14 of a heart attack. "We really wanted him to have a big send-off," Tina Sinatra said."Sick" cartoonTOKYO: A seven-year-old schoolgirl became nauseous after her teacher showed her class the same episode of a hit cartoon that sent hundreds of kids into violent convulsions last December, news reports said on Saturday. The girl was sickenedshortly after she watched the videotaped episode of Pokemon with 28 classmates on Tuesday, Kyodo news reported. On December 16, at least 700 viewers, mostly children, were rushed to hospitals with symptoms ranging from nausea to epilepsy-like spasms after watching the cartoon, aired on TV Tokyo. It is not known why the teacher showed the cartoon to the class.Cereal modelCOLUMBUS: He's no athlete, but astronaut-turned-politician-turned-astronaut-again John Glenn deserves to be on a cereal box, at least according to his home state fans. Ohio's Congressional delegation petitioned the maker of Wheaties to put a picture of the US Senator on the cereal box - something the manufacturer General Mills has done in the past for noted top athletes. General Mills said it will consider the request. Seventy-seven-year-old Glenn, who's retiring from the Senate this year, is scheduled to make a space shuttle flight in October to test how older people fare in space. He said he was honoured by the request, butjoked, "Considering my age, you'd think they'd want to put my face on a bottle of Geritol."
