Hi, Younglings

And either way, you'll find this disgusting:
'New skin-eating amphibian discovered'
http://planetearth.nerc.ac.uk/news/story.aspx?id=1415
"Scientists have discovered a new species of caecilian - a worm-like amphibian - whose young peel off and eat their mother's skin."
It's not the most pleasant way of feeding... but then, you mammals do feed on adapted sweat, sucked out of the chest-fat of your mothers, so you can hardly talk :-P
Remember the Naiad Rug's short-film competition?
And remember that i thought Sally Le Page's was the best? Well, it seems the panel agreed:
'I won the Guardian competition!'

The only researchers' names i recognised were Dunning and Kruger. The way to tell whether you're ignorant, is to introspect yourself for doubt. The more you know, the more you aware you will be of not knowing other things - this results in doubt. If you don't feel doubt... you're ignorant!

'Water Divining / Dowsing Tests 2013' - the Mighty Mitta Muster Water Divining Test, 2013 (46 minutes)
The excuses these people come up with are the real wonder of water-divining - from fictional rivers, to wood quality, to the barmy idea that a third of our body is made of static electricity! Wondrous entertainment :o)

'This 'DRM' Chair Will Self-Destruct After Eight Uses'
DRM stands for Digital Rights Management, and it's what money-hoarding corporations sometimes use to prevent the sharing of files you've bought from them. What if hard products worked that way?
