Why the RAF is best in the world

My good baldy friend Adrian Sudbury sent me a link to this video and I thought it might cheer you up a bit

This video was put together by and shows Dean Tabreham of the RAF Dancing to different songs whilst trying to marshall Fighter Jets at the same time. The video is in aid of Cancer research and donations will be gratefully accepted at www.cancerresearchuk.org for an extremely worthy cause.

More reasons to be afraid

Scary assed spider
5 Current Genetic Experiments Most Likely to Destroy Humanity

Most frightening is of course the idea of combining the DNA of Spiders with other creatures - any creatures whatsoever... scientists should just not be allowed to combine spider DNA with anything... ever

Is Richard Branson trying to be Mr Fantastic?

Posted by liam on January 8, 2008 11:39 AM

Aurora Borealis
For his next big plan for the private space industry, Richard Branson is thinking up new ways to excite affluent space tourists: flying them into the biggest lightshow on Earth, the Aurora Borealis.

What made me laugh most was the question of health and safety regards passing through the Northern lights.

Although launching humans into an active aurora holds little scientific interest (if it did, it would have probably been done by now), it does pose some prudent health and safety questions. As Dr Olle Norberg, Esrange's director, confidently states: "Is there a build-up of charge on the spacecraft? What is the radiation dose that you would receive? Those studies came out saying it is safe to do this." Phew, that's a relief.

Try telling that to the fantastic four who gained superpowers after exposure to cosmic rays during a scientific mission to outer space.

Widow definately leaves £10m tip to Chinese restaurant

Posted by liam on December 11, 2007 2:00 PM

Following on from my earlier story of a Widow who left her £10m fortune to her favourite Chinese restaurant here

The final will of a widow who left £10 million to the owners of a Chinese restaurant was upheld by the High Court yesterday, despite claims by her family that she did not know what she was doing.

What made me laugh was the quote from the family's lawyer -

Michael Cooper, who is believed to have acted for the relatives on a no-win, no-fee basis, issued a statement on his clients’ behalf expressing their disappointment: “Ours is a close and loving family and we did our utmost to support our aunt after she lost her husband and son, and brought this action to ensure that her wishes to benefit charity were upheld.”

This one is going out to all those poor men, like myself, who are suffering like martyrs with the dreaded 'Man Flu' at the moment. Especially to my long suffering friend Adrian Sudbury

How cute is this video I want a little robot boxer just like on of these.

Over on the Guardian Unlimited is a video

Two-legged robots gather for the Robo-One grand championship at Tokyo's convention centre to decide which one is strongest in the world

I want the one with a balloon for a head.

I enjoy a Chinese once in a while but it would have to be a very special meal to leave this sort of tip

The boy refuses to go to bed without the 6m (20ft) Burmese python named Lucky.

I don't think I can add anything to this story, it speaks for itself. Anyone else thinking of that hypnotising snake from the Jungle Book?

What happens if you give an elephant LSD?

Posted by liam on November 27, 2007 9:00 AM

The New Scientist magazine has just published a list of top 10 bizarre experiments. Top of the list was what happens if you give an elephant acid... I mean someone with qualifications and letters after their name, and probably a white lab coat sat down and decided they would see what would happen if you give an elephant some acid. I mean haven't they seen Dumbo?

Take this for a classic quote.

These experiments are not the work of cranks. All were performed by honest, hard-working scientists who were not prepared to accept common-sense explanations of how the world works. Sometimes such single-mindedness leads to brilliant discoveries. At other times it can end up closer to madness. Unfortunately, there's no way of knowing in advance where the journey will lead.

Chuck Norris approved

Chuck Norris the uber macho alpha American male and former action movie star is one of the biggest stars of the internet. Here is a video of him giving his support for a supposed presidential candidate. For the life of me I can't tell if this is a genuine presidential candidate but either way- coolest election video ever.

Who is king of the ocean? Myth Busters over on the Discovery Channel did a series of tests and experiments to test whether the rumour that sharks won't attack when a dolphin is around

Really surprising results on the video here as they tested this theory with hungry great white sharks.

Don't worry no Dolphins were hurt. Be warned though its a long video about 8 minutes.

Google turns Masseuse into a millionaire

Posted by liam on November 12, 2007 9:49 PM

Hooray!! Google Makes Masseuse a Multimillionaire

Bonnie Brown was fresh from a nasty divorce in 1999, living with her sister and uncertain of her future. On a lark, she answered an ad for an in-house masseuse at Google, then a Silicon Valley start-up with 40 employees. She was offered the part-time job, which started out at $450 a week but included a pile of Google stock options that she figured might never be worth a penny.

After five years of kneading engineers’ backs, Ms. Brown retired, cashing in most of her stock options, which were worth millions of dollars. To her delight, the shares she held onto have continued to balloon in value.

There is something so right about a woman following a divorce doing a job like this in a start up company coming away a few years later as a millionaire, all i can say is well done her. Hope she lives it up for the rest of her days.

NO going topless, unless you work in a fish shop

Posted by liam on November 6, 2007 6:09 PM

One of the UK's most absurd laws states that only a clerk in a tropical fish store has permission to be topless in public in Liverpool.

Among other good laws, It is illegal to die in the houses of Parliament (think this has something to do with anyone who dies in houses of parliament being entitled to a full state funeral - as if you didnt know)

Another one from back in the 17th Century states it's illegal to eat a mince pie on Christmas
