I did my occasional spot on Sky News last night, talking about things from some internets and what-have-you. This is it, if you're that way inclined.

And I'm really tempted to get me some sculpting tools and try my (somewhat terrible) artistic skills out on some unsuspecting pumpkin.
That guy has truly mad skills though, without a doubt

Nice little archery game, and quite addictive once into it. Controls are simple enough, but can be a sod to hold steady. Enjoy.

Sorry for delay, got distracted by your archery game there. I came 17th, so the world cup stayed closed to me. :(

I wish him luck, but I don't dance like any of his examples, I use the 'bounce to the music whilst painting pictures of the other leading rhythms with my hands' techno style of dancing thewendyhouse.org/oct08/oct20.htm and I really can't see how you can do research into dancing without involving the music!

The back story is really interesting too, about how women seem to prefer the dancing styles of men with higher testosterone, or more symmetrical moves.

It's the science that's naked, not us. We have to wear clothes otherwise we get chemical burns (and arrested after the students complain).

A sexual selection mechanism, much like a peacock's tail.
I'll also be making a right buffoon of myself, wearing goggles that shift your vision 10 degrees right, thus mucking up your hand-eye coordination something rotten. I may even dance in the studio this week...

I don't know if it's just me being a giant sci fi fan, loving space and what not, but that's awesome. Just hearing something almost an unimaginable distance away, completely alien to myself, is just amazing. Brings home just how we're only experiencing a tiny fraction of the universe on our Planet, but we can still get a taste of what's over the hill thanks to telescopes and such.
Utterly great

Blackpool and other hen night favorites are going to be awash with these things.
Edit: Could let it pass. Ive lived in Oz most of the last 12 years and Ive seen plenty of Aussies acting like penises at the MCG and other great sporting venues to not need to wave big inflatable willies at the Poms their own hands will do just as well.
