A quick trawl of the stories I find VERRRYY INNNTERRRESSSSTING

They’ve found more creatures that perished in Noah’s Flood in Queensland, apparently. That’ll be dinosaurs, then. We have Banjo, a carnivore, Matilda and Clancy, two herbivores, all named after Waltzing Matilda but not nearly as wonderfully named as Muttaburrasaurus.

On a slightly related note, as I was looking at the various diseases that are afflicting the nation (Ronnie Biggs has MRSA, everyone!) there was an article about an extremely ancient alternative therapy: ground up dragon bones used in Chinese medicine. Those guys!

Seriously, we’re all going to die. How many cases of Swine Flu in August? Take care, Ronnie Biggs, you’re not a healthy man. You’d have thought with all this hot weather flu wouldn’t be an issue, but now it seems even the buses are turning into incubators.

One final thing, and I honestly thought this was a joke story, but it seems the Scots are keen to recycle the oil from the deep fat fryers. First thought, very good, very ecologically sound, I thought it was a biodiesel alternative, but no. I was wrong, and so is this. I mean… as a tanning agent? Wrong on so many levels.
