BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Hubble sees 'planet' around starThis is pretty historic!!! this COULD be the first photo of a planet orbiting another star!!! we've discovered over a 100 thru indirect methods, i.e. light bending and warping cos of gravity, but this could be the real thing an actual planet orbiting a white dwarf star, and its 5 -10 times the mass of Jupiter!!! Tell you what we're living in the future

BBC NEWS | Asia-Pacific | 'Naked sushi' restaurant finedThis is quite amusing, for a communist state the Chinese certainly are embracing all manner of curious Western practises. Eating sushi off naked women, what is a bizarre Japanese pasttime obviously doesn't go down that well in Bejing!! MInd you can you imagine it if they started in in the UK. Local variations include.... eating scampy and chips of a fat girl in the North, chicken tikka massalla off someone's thighs in Birmingham!!!! the list is endless (and to be honest quite grim!!!)
Hello and welcome to the first blog from the Emerald Isle, thought i might just jot down my thoughts while i'm over here, to remind myself as the days blur into one!! Staying at the Mont Clare which is ok, quite a nice hotel although the room's a little small. Have to run across the road to use the gym at the Davenport (and when i say gym i mean hotel bedroom with crap equipment in it!!) So far Dublin has been windy as hell, nearly got blown over walking to work this morning. Still its not all that bad at least Driver's here now!!!

BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Dark matter 'found within decade'BBC NEWS | Science/Nature | Dark matter 'found within decade'Dark Matter found within the decade eh?? the thing that intrigues me is that scientists reckon that all the visible objects in the unverse only accounts for 0.5% of the total. This to me is exactly the case for an argument against an all powerful deity we are even more in significant than even we realise, we live for a cosmic fraction (even the planet's only been here for a cosmic second!!) How rational people can subscribe to theories of God's is farcical to me?? Religion should be banned outright globally!!! Even more worrying?? If we're such a minority in the universe (compared to all the particels we can't see) what if there's a whole flip universe that lives in the Dark Matter and we're the anomaly that lives in the light??
Scotsman.com News - Top Stories - Military scientists to study regrowth of limbsLimb regeneration?? Quality its our good friends at DARPA again!!! i love these guys more money than sense and they back projects that might not see technology leaps for another 30 years!! now THATS science for me!!
Yahoo! News - Robotics' Research Gaining in PrestigeRobots of the future?? i predict we're about to see an explosion of these little buggers!! it was all prophesised in the Terminator and the Matrix, what good are Asimov's laws of robotics (i.e cannot harm or by inaction cause the harm of a human being) when all the robots are being developed by the military??
In flight flight-simulators?

Broadband prepares to take off... imagine - you'll be able to synchronise your Lotus notes, work over the VPN straight into the network at work. You'll be truly mobile... what joy, you can work eevrywhere now!

Get it out of me!

Oh my goodness! A woman in Mexico gives birth to a healthy baby boy after performing a Caesarean on herself with a kitchen knife. This is incredible, and makes you wonder about the primitive urges and instincts which drive us. May be she thought it was a parasitic alien.... Lewis - your views on pregnancy?
