I don't know if this was said already and the boards search function is not the best especially on mobile- so apologies if it was!

If you Google image search the number 241543903 you will see loads of pictures of people with their head in a freezer.

And 4636228756 is people with their heads in washing machines.

Any codes for gas ovens?

There is a tribe of people on Tanna island in the archipelago of Vanuatu, who believe that Prince Philip is the reincarnation of their long lost Mountain God, after he visited the island a couple of times in the early seventies. They were less impressed by the Queen.

The Kastom people call themselves the Prince Philip Movement and it appears to be related to similar a neighbouring islands cult - The John Frum Cargo Cult - who believe that a chap called John Frum will one day arrive with gifts of insight and wads of cash.



Every night, the Prince Philip Movement have prayers and services for his return while getting off their faces on fermented Kava juice. One of the things he'll do, apart from making the villagers immortal is have the fish leap ashore and control the weather to their benefit.

At Google's headquarters at Mountain View, CA, they do not use lawnmowers to maintain the lawns.
They rent a herd of 200 goats instead as part of a carbon free approach to maintenance.

Commendable, but how do the goats get to the lawns? If it entails a couple of 40 ft trucks over say 20 miles, once per week it's probably much the same thing. Though I'm sure they gave it some thought.

There used to be a Shepherd on the Munich equivalent of the M50 (the A99). It worked out cheaper than a company with lawn mowers and strimmers. The cars are doing 120 Km/h within a few metres of them.

This was in the early 2000's when I was working there, not sure if he's still used.

The Thylacine, or Tasmanian Tiger may not be extinct after a few reputable observers spotted one which may be part of a small remaining population.

Baby Tas Tigers are called imps!

I'm wrong, Tasmanian Devil babies are called Imps, not Tigers! Makes sense when you think about it too

I wouldn't like to get into an argument with a Tasmanian Tiger.

Looking at one of the pics in that article, they have a HUGE bite:eek:

Airey Neave, the then shadow NI Secretary of State was killed in 1979 by a car bomb that was fitted to his car in the underground car park of the House of Commons. It was one of the most audacious attacks of The Troubles.

He was also the first person to ever escape from Colditz making the 600km journey to Switzerland and then on to the UK.

He spoke fluent German was an agent for MI9 which helped Allied prisoners escape from occupied Germany and was the man who read out the indictments to various Nazi leaders at the Nuremburg Trials after the war.

His murder is the subject of a conspiracy with some people blaming the US for his death. He himself was suspected of having a plot to kill then government minister Tony Benn.

Both Capuchin Monkeys and Cappuccinos are named after Capuchin Monks.

Monkeys coz their colouring looks like the monks when their hoods are up and the drink because it's the same colour as the robes.

And Capuchin Monks get their name from their robes, hood is 'cappuccio'.

He was really into jazz/rock and often would listen to Chicago,a band who impressed him greatly.

Next time you're really furious make note of your top lip twitching. It may not even be noticeable but when a person is in a state of angry arousal the twitch of the top lip is an evolutionary left over of the teeth baring display of defence/threat that we still see in other great apes and some other animals.

Light-skinned people synthesize vitamin D better than their darker-skinned counterparts. People in colder climates enjoyed less sunshine, which led to skin lightening to improve the endogenous production of vitamin D, its synthesis being triggered by ultraviolet rays from sunshine on the skin.

Just to point out there have been sightings by aboriginies for decades. They weren't considered reputable unfortunately. It's a bug bear of mine. Sorry to be awkward. Great post though!

In a really inspiring story of generosity, a group of 200 desperately poor women from Kampala in Uganda who earn around $1.10 a day working in a mine breaking rocks into gravel, some of whom were suffering from AIDS, made a donation of $900 to a European charity to give to victims of hurricane Katrina.

The women donated every spare copper they could and sold homemade bracelets and jewellery they made in their spare time to relieve the suffering of the people of New Orleans after the hurricane.

Only the year previously, these women with so little had done the same, donating their earnings and raising a similar amount to ease the suffering of the victims of the Southeast Asia tsunami.

I so much want this creature to be alive. I'm not sure why but I find the footage of what was believed to be the last thylacine alive haunting somehow.

It is haunting.

To be the last of your kind is like the epitome of a unique kind of loneliness.

There are no waiting lists for a donor kidney in Iran, because it's perfectly legal to sell your kidney to the highest bidder there. People place advertisements in newspapers, supermarket noticeboards and sometimes lamposts or simply in graffiti on walls around the hospitals, giving their bloodtypes and their phone numbers.

There is evidence that poor and uneducated people have been coerced into selling their organs, especially poor rural women who have been pressured to sell a kidney to provide for their own dowries, or on older women to sell theirs to provide the bride price for her daughter, or the startup capital for a sons business, but it hasn't stopped a roaring trade in living donor body parts.

Only Iranians can sell kidneys, and only to other Iranians.
