I’m in need of inspiration. Or money. Either would brighten my day…
- Can Colin Fry really speak to the dead? The first-name basis doesn’t imply objectivity, but there are the usual tales of highly specific information.
- Is there chess after death?
- Jung’s ‘Big Dreams‘ are “meaningful representations of our concerns and emotions.” Perhaps it’s worth considering that the ‘visitation’ dreams may actually be exactly that?
- Is there a glimmer of consciousness in supposedly vegetative patients?
- Investors warned about seeking astrological advice.
- The intelligence of swarms.
- The Bell Witch, Al-Qaeda and Doomsday. I can’t really add much to that as a headline.
- New drug can dampen down bad memories. What was it that Alexander Pope once said?
- Israel scraps Temple Mount bridge plan.
- Zahi calls in Grissom: Egypt to use DNA evidence to identify Tuthmosis.
- 80 years of robots in Hollywood. That’s about actual robots, not the corporate money-chasers…
- The Opportunity rover is preparing for a possible one-way trip into Victoria crater.
- How much does a space toilet cost? About $19 million apparently…
- Bigelow Aerospace puts the Genesis 2 in orbit, with Robert Bigelow giving a nice gift to his grand-daughter Blair.
- Micro-generator powered by vibrations.
- “Spitting orangutans” display inventive behaviour.
- Pwnage news: what would George Orwell think of all this? Probably that he was a couple of decades out…
- Could African drummers talk to whales?
- Tasmanian Tiger may not be extinct.
- Dodo skeleton found on island, may yield bird’s DNA.
- Cats can trigger allergic reactions in 1 in 4 people.
- Pesticide’s suspected in case of AWOL honeybees.
- Human’s gobble one quarter of the food chain’s foundation.
- ‘Man-eating piranhas’ are a myth, study finds. Not sure how they tested that, but I’d suggest the researchers count their toes…
- Forget the piranhas, or the Martians, or Al Qaeda…the rubber ducks are coming!
Thanks Rick and Kat.

How happy is the blameless Vestal’s lot?
The world forgetting, by the world forgot:
Eternal sunshine of the spotless mind!
Each pray’r accepted, and each wish resign’d .
