Plants genetically engineered to make fish oils. As a vegetarian who won't eat cod liver oil¹, I think this is great.

¹ (For one thing, even with the gelatine-coated capsules — another reason not to — the smell of fish lingers on the breath. Ugh! At least flaxseed oil only tastes of, er, flaxseed.)

Janet and John in favour with retro people.

I never read them. (At 26, I'm probably too young.) I started to read with flashcards and such epic classics as Smoke and Fluff, a story about naughty kittens. However, I progressed to things with polysyllabic words in them fairly rapidly, meaning I don't remember many of my baby books. One or two good Janet and Allan Ahlbergs, plus the classics (Very Hungry Caterpillar, Where the Wild Things Are).

Terry Wogan's parodies are occasionally amusing. If you like your morning smut lame, tame 'n' eccentric. (Which, if you're a Brit, you have to. It's a tradition or an old charter or something.)

Lovely. A sentence of six months' prison and 200 lashes, handed out by a Saudi court in a gang rape trial, has been criticised as unjust.

This is because it was handed out to the VICTIM.

For getting raped. And then appealing against her initial punishment. WHAT A DEBAUCHED SATAN, OMG STONE HER.

Saudi Arabia is my favouritest country evar.

Rowan Williams isn't "welcoming" enough and the CofE is "obsessed" with gay priests.

I'm glad. It highlights what a dinosaur the stupid institution is. Some sweet day, people will notice.

This story does the same for the RCC, as if we needed any more evidence. Disgusting parasitical organisations thinking they can muscle in on real life; annoys me so much.

As for old Karol becoming a singing star, well, it practically parodies itself (Cher robot: "Do you bel^ieev_ve in life after death"), so I'll merely note in passing the totally unbiased title of the record. "Saint now!"

(Follow-up to be called Apocalypse Soon, We Think, We're Curiously Unspecific on the Date But It's Totally Happening This Time, Honest (P.S. the Seven-headed Beast is Moral Relativity or Something, it's Definitely Not Us), in stores across the Holy Land soon.)
