Friday, December 28th, 2007

This gorgeous image to the left is of the Boomerang Nebula (also called the bow tie nebula). It is a protoplanetary nebula located 5,000 light-years away from Earth in the Centaurus constellation. It was formed by high-speed winds of gas and dust blowing from the aged star at the center of the image. The winds [...]

Fox are hypocrites

Thursday, December 27th, 2007

After banging on and on and on and on and on and on and on and on about how people can’t use their “copyrighted” material - that people can’t video tape the sports for example because that would be “stealing” their copyrighted material:
They’ve gone and done it themselves!
A woman uploaded a picture of her dog, [...]

Happy holidays everyone! I sent out ecards to everyone, I then figured that my blog could do with a similar message, although I’ve slightly missed the boat for xmas, we’re still in the middle of the holidays (and that’ll do). Hope you are all having a wonderful festive season - enjoy all the parties, time [...]

Arctic ice melting faster than projected!

Wednesday, December 26th, 2007

Ummm, quick screenshot of the BBC news websites diagram of this to catch your attention… I know that’s cheeky but I generally try not to crib things, in this case it’s for the greater good. Basically look at that melt!
The BBC news website has reported that scientists have recorded an extraordinary level of melting during [...]

Happy Solstice

Tuesday, December 25th, 2007

Happy Solstice everyone! I’ve already wished everyone a merry christmas. However the BBC hasn’t half been banging on about how everyone was out celebrating Jesus’ birthday, and I felt moved to post.

Intelligent Design (Creationism Relabeled)

Sunday, December 23rd, 2007

For many years now the Intelligent Design camp* has been claiming that they are separate from the creationists camp which tried to get creationism taught in schools back in the 1980s and failed miserably. After all it would be ludicrous to teach superstition as science! Everyone knows that ID is just creationism relabeled. Well I [...]

Glasgow 1868

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

I have no idea where I got this pic. Presumably it is in the public domain (and if not then it jolly well should be). It is apparently an image of somewhere in Glasgow in 1868 - and couldn’t you just tell! Doesn’t it just draw you back into those bygone times…? Actually, come to [...]

A Christmas Present

FREE FICTION
Merry Christmas! Here is a freebie from us. ‘Crimbo: An Anthology’ from Stonehedge Publishing. In the UK Crimbo is a slang word for Christmas, though it’s actually going quite mainstream these days. I’m guilty as charged, I came up with the title, it just popped into my head. Anyway, this little gem is FREE, [...]
