Congratulations to Rick, who is one year closer to the asylum, and justifying his natural grumpiness. Here’s your present, amigo!

- Implantable ‘eye telescope’ that magnifies vision 3 times. Behold the bionic peeping tom!

Thanks to Kat; and thanks to Paul, for making this World Cup interesting.
Quote of the Day:
“It is a mistake to believe that a science consists in nothing but conclusively proved propositions, and it is unjust to demand that it should. It is a demand only made by those who feel a craving for authority in some form and a need to replace the religious catechism by something else, even if it be a scientific one.”
Sigmund Freud.
