In "Curious Snowed-in George:"

It's a pleasant day here after a cool weekend. 28 Celsius (82F) and sunny. Went snorkelling yesterday, going surfing after work today. I like Sydney. (ignores howl of misery from the other side of the world)

In "Mofi has seemed to be fading for a while,"

I have often felt that MoFi is lacking wobbegongs. To rectify this, here's one I escaped a couple of weeks ago: Wobbegong. It was huge. Huge, I tell you.

In "John Archibald Wheeler, RIP"

A farewell from one of his former students is here.

In "Le site de l´architecture ferroviaire"

"Too Geeky"? Does not compute.

In "3 guys, 3 bikes, 3 miles, 1 insane descent."

Wusses. They were being passed. It's meant to be the other way round.

In ""

Also, could you back off on the odours? They trouble us.

Too late. Someone you trust is one of us already...

In "Goodbye everyone, "

There was a trivial political shitstorm in the EU a few years ago, when a Norwegian minister referred to a sub-trivial British minister as a "drittsekk". This information is presented purely to add a multi-lingual dimension to sexyrobot's new favourite word

In "Free Mumia?"

In "CyberBullied Off Line"

IS illegal. I don't believe I did that. Very, very, go-to-jail illegal.

In "UFO Evidence"

(Actually, that's a herring gull. A startled one).

alumroot: That is possibly the best picture of a silver gull I have ever seen. Even better than this one:

In "McNaught from New Zealand"

Yay! Saw it last night! I had to wait until about an hour after sunset, but it was clearly visible from Melbourne. Happy me!

Still 100% cloud cover in Melbourne. Rain, too, so it's not all bad. Grrrr.

In "That's so Book!"

Off to drink some adds.

In "Live near the Monticello reactor? Get your free potassium iodide! "

In other news we discover why the camels were so pissy.

In "*slings girl and runs*"

This is unbelievably, psychotically stupid and I want a go.

In "Comet McNaught (a surprise comet)"

Hi mercurious! I'm in Melbourne. I've got a week's holiday booked, and the only thing planned is some boozing in SA. We were trying to decide between the Great Ocean Road and more boozing in the Yarra Valley. Thanks for the suggestion! Decision made.

In "Stephen Hawking to be launched into space."

I think we should send the Werzog. With laser beams.
