A touch of lack of heat, a smidge of damp stuff and not a
jot of atmospheric movement at the Castle this morn, still have oodles of hot
water, his Maj is bored with the wevver and I seem to have been invaded by
yellow flowered Triffids which I didn’t plant.
Infineon Technologies' Lim Saw Sing discovered a colony of
microscopic nudists having an orgy on the surface of an integrated circuit.
Which turned out to be the polyimide surface itself after
being exposed to etching by reactive ions.
Hydrogen-fuelled
taxis, introduced in London for the Olympic Games, are being transported on a
130-mile round trip to Swindon to refuel.
The fleet of three
low-emission cabs was introduced to ferry VIPs and officials during the Games.
But the hydrogen
fuelling station, at Lea Interchange near the Olympic Park, has had to close
for security reasons.
The consortium
HYTEC, which provided the taxis, said a new station was expected to open at
Heathrow soon.
In the meantime,
the taxis are loaded on a transporter to make the trip to the nearest filling
station at car manufacturer Honda's plant in Swindon.
What a gas...

pledge eurozone leaders would do “everything possible” to save the euro today

consolidated.”

A fire walking
seminar in Moscow region’s city of Khimki ended in burns for most participants,
an online tabloid reported on Monday.
Eighteen of 30
women who partook in the seminar had to seek medical help after walking some five
meters over glowing coals in a bid to “strengthen their spirit,” Lifenews.ru
said.
No case was opened
because none of the victims required hospitalization, local police was cited as
saying.
None of the victims
sued for compensation, and at least one of them said she wants to repeat the
experience, the tabloid said.
Oh dear......I do love a Numpty or thirty....
Apparently while many, many people “watched” the ‘O limp
dicks’ (thanks Bernard) opening cermony a
clearly seen unidentified flying object was videotaped making its way over
London’s Olympic stadium, reports Examiner.com.
The disc-shaped object is first seen entering the upper left
portion of the video as the fireworks erupt over the stadium. The UFO — which
appears to have a dome or bulge rising from its centre — moves slowly across
the sky as if deliberately observing the light-show spectacle below it.
That’s it: I’m orf to Barclays for some
