In this news story on Ananova, it is reported that a Dutch town is hoping to reduce occurrences of gays using their park for sex by filling it with Scottish highland cattle, which will apparently “scare them off”.
It’s a weird world.

Schoolboy, 12, Performs Armed Robbery And Is Placated With Crisps
Article on the BBC. A schoolboy holds up a shop and demands money, using a sawn-off shotgun.
My favourite bit: Mr Guliani said there was no money in the till and, on instruction to load the bag with cigarettes instead, told the boy he was under age. The retailer later offered him sweets and crisps instead.

The BBC have an article about Australian researchers successfully teleporting photons a distance of 600m, advancing upon their first efforts in the field, over two years ago.
Bush’s Foreign Friends
There’s a new googlebomb out, abusing the way that the popular Google search engine works. To see it in action, go to Google and enter “Bush’s foreign friends” (including the speechmarks) as the search term, and hit the “I’m Feeling Lucky” button.
Where Do They Make Balloons?
So I come home from work on Monday evening to find my flat full of balloons. WTF???
The ActionScript Jabberwocky
This made me smile: The Jabberwocky in ActionScript (Macromedia Flash’s scripting language). It’s another one of those that you’ll really need to be a proper geek to appreciate, but it’s really quite good.

Full story from BBC News.
Painful Work Patterns
This is actually getting quite painful. I’ve now been at work for 13 hours straight, and for a total of 40 hours so far this week. Still; next week should be marginally better.
The knackeredness I can deal with. What’s nasty is that I’m not seeing as much of Claire as I’d like.
Doom 3 Screenshots
Mmm… There’s some Doom 3 screenshots online…
Magical Trevor
Everyone love Magical Trevor;
‘Cos the tricks that he does are ever so clever.
This Land Will Surely Vote For Me!
This is hilariously good, and it’s kicking up a bit of a fuss. So, in case it gets taken down, I’ll be hosting a copy of it here, too… Click here to watch "My Land", starring Bush & Kerry. I can’t help but sing along…
