Probe your ports, madam? No? Oh well, have an asexuality article.

Despite this thing calling me an uneducated poor woman, guess why I like it.

Contagious yawning news trawl

Wednesday, 6 August 2008, 12:02

Pet dogs can 'catch' human yawns


One for Tivo: Horse and rider rescued from ditch, where they were stuck upside down


Anti-freeze cat poisoner sought


Life-sized pig sculpture is found and I can see why you'd steal that. It's totally sweet. And totally evolutionarily unsound.


One for Charly: Why Microsoft 'Midori'?


Arctic Map shows dispute hotspots. They should kick everyone out and declare it Antarctica in my opinion.


Sea squirts! These were mentioned in Fish with Fingers, which I'm reading at the moment. (It's about Devonian tetrapods, not genetic anomalies.) Sea squirts are awesome because they undergo quite a drastic metamorphosis between their baby, tadpoleish forms and the adult stage in which they're stuck on rocks, like any normal anemone or what-have-you.


Amusing Juxtaposition of the Day:

Hospitals 'infested with vermin'

Maggots could help in MRSA battle


Victorian boot found in a tree


Cataplexic young lady falls over if she laughs


One for Anke: colour-blend Large Blue butterflies


Race for antidote after snakebite


Should baby be risked for sister? I wish I had time to digest this one properly. Medical ethics are ace.


EastEnders dog Wellard is killed off


In pictures: Stranded whale (warning - not happy ending)


Nine-week-old kidnapped from garden. Free the Berkshire One! Poor baby!


Bashir sorry for 'tasteless' quip, just like he was sorry for his last 'tasteless' quip...


Phear Phorm


Pet charity's credit crunch fears


Amusing Juxtaposition of the Day, Part 2:

Iranians suspend death by stoning

Texas executes Mexican murderer

Bush presses China on freedoms

(Bush did try to make them reconsider the Mexican guy's verdict. IT'S STILL FUNNY.)
