# blog question
sorry to ask here, but have been searching with no luck; can anyone remember a thread about the 'best blog in the world'... as read recommended by) by Dawkins, Stephen Pinker, Stephen Hawkin etc.

Think it was on /links about a fortnight ago.

would really appreciate if anyone can remind me... (relates to work)

# I watched a bloke assault his wife at work today
the bit where he spat in her face, after slapping her, whilst she held their child made me literally choke on the rolly in my mouth; but he was far to large and obviously psychotic for me to feel bold enough to say "Leave it out geezer" :(

# I have an almost
uncontrollable urge to involve myself in situations where I am morally offended. I've done good ( caught burglars etc. ) only to be admonished by the police when they pull out the guy's knife and so on. I've took a beating before for sticking my nose in but nothing too harsh. It won't last though because I just can't stand by. It's a gut reaction.

# might be an idea to ask this as a reply to an existing link over on the links board
(top of screen, third link in) - Best to ask in one of the top threads on there, as they last a bit longer, and more people will see it.
Failing that, it might have been newslettered if it was any good, so you might like to check the newsletters from the past few weeks

# yes, I know
I was expecting a major raping for asking, but I thought that was what the /board was for... to toughen you up for /talk...

Anyway, like I say, trying to get something important done for work, including prepping for a coming interview with Richard Dawkins, so really wanted to cross reference something I read on *that* blog (on someone else's PC I don't have access to...)
