How To Tell A Scientist From A Crook
Posted on June 7, 2012

A scientist would look at the horrific weather of the 1930s, and try to figure out why it happened.

A crook would simply alter the data – to make the 1930s disappear. http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2012/06/07...a-scientist-from-a-crook/

Cold Weather Threatens Swedish Reindeer With Extinction
Posted on June 10, 2012

Sweden’s reindeer population is on the verge of extinction – because it’s too cold for them. The beasts – famous for their survival in Arctic conditions – have been struggling to find food on their mountainside habitats which are still covered in thick snow. ”We’ve had bad years before but we are really worried how this will work out. “I’ve already started finding dead reindeer calves on the mountain,” said herder Mikael Jonsson from Rans Sami village. http://stevengoddard.wordpress.com/2012/06/10...reindeer-with-extinction/

Won't be needing my Rubber Dinghy to collect the water from stand pipes in the river street anymore

off topic sort of

But I have just seen a bird land in a tree in the middle of a gale

No big deal you may think birds in trees just perfectly normal

But just think how difficult a task that is. You are hurtling towards a tree and you can't see the branches on account of the leaves (pretty much like the wood) you are in a gusting swirling environment and that branch you need to put your feet down at 0mph is swaying around alarmingly in the breeze

Now how long a perfectly clear runway do we need to land and how many landings will be aborted in the UK today on account of nasty crosswinds?

That must mean Pigeons are awesome

I must share twitter joke of the week

Bono is so in love with all things American that he believes it's acceptable to spell "colour" with or without 'u'


I love it
