I'm going to go along to this.
I sense a mini version of this over the weekend. :D
Do conditions in zoos facilitate circumstances in which elephants would kill their young out of stress? Corrected that headline for ya there, newsy-website person.
I admire this woman's actions. Good show.
Yeah, all right, I wouldn't have resisted making that pun either.
Carousel fraud 'out of control'
I don't know if someone will take note of my feedback email and fix this, but this story at present is illustrated with a picture of... a fairground carousel. With no explanation of what carousel fraud is or why it's called that.
(From Wikipedia: The term... "carousel" refers to the way that the fraud in a more complex manner sees VAT and goods passed around companies and jurisdictions, similar to how a carousel travels round.
)
And I hope I'm allowed to say so! ;) (As my userinfo page clearly states, my views are not that of my employer.)
(Hahaha, they fixed it.)
Brown pledge to tackle bullies
How? You can't legislate against people being bumholes! (You could remove restrictions that make teachers scared to intervene in physical fights going on right in front of them, but you wouldn't stop the little bastards 'knowing their rights' and taking you to court.)
Dinopaddle! I've wondered about this.
BBC Springwatch: Concrete gardens
Just lose the car! There's no excuse for it if you live and work in London.
Let's spend £££ on sea defences instead of moving somewhere a little more sensible. Well, it's the sea, yaknow, wat khun you do?
A Star Wars virgin gives his thoughts on the film. Fascinating stuff.
(I'm not sure I quite believe he's as naïf of the major plot twists as he claims. With the films' huge presence in pop culture, could anyone be? Heavy, heavy unconscious foreshadowing throughout if he is.)
I must watch these films sometime, though of course I've been spoilered for all the good stuff over the years.
