Greetings from Mr. Raccoon and Mr. Wasp who is in Estonia at the moment just to kill my liver by making me drink a lot. Anyway, how about this one to get the righteous shroudwavers in a tizzy… _ _ And this next one is worthy of a BBC health article written by […]  Mentioned in passing at Watts Up With That, the following Ted video is well worth spending 18 minutes on. Jill Bolte Taylor gives a brilliant presentation and speaks with a genuine passion 8 years after observing her own stroke : Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity few brain scientists would wish for: She […] Whilst I never fully judge a film by it’s trailer (as the trailers usually contain all the bits worth seeing from the film condensed into 2 or 3 minutes leaving the other hour or so as dull as ditchwater), the trailer for Ridley Scott’s Prometheus certainly looks stunning : _ _ One to look […] Three months back here in England is about all I can stand so it’s time to stretch my wings again and head back to Estonia for a two week break from UK misery. Posting will most likely be hit and miss depending on how many units (at a lot less than 40 pence each) […] I came across the following picture of the Sun after following a link in David Thompson’s Friday Ephemera (which never fails to impress) and just had to grab a copy for here : Tweet Ban it! Ban it all! You are not trusted to make the ‘right’ choices.

The following video is one of those surprises (for me at least) and shows the last few seconds of the US Navy supply ship SS John Burke which was […] Another one of those “just when you thought you had seen everything” moments : A novel way to start a fight : And finally, a little compare and contrast with Greece vs Estonia : I think the unemployment figures may be a little out of date there but the point still […] Much better than up on blocks as the saying goes in Barnsley : H/T – Coccoon Tweet Talented artists never fail to amaze me with their skills and patience : Tweet Just when you thought you had seen it all then along comes youtube to remind you that you haven’t seen anything yet : _ _ Speechless ….. Tweet With the Protection of Freedoms Bill nearing it’s final stage in the Lords, I thought I would have a quick look to see just how many of the 1000 plus current powers of entry would actually be revoked (full list here courtesy of The Daily Mail).
