Don’t take your ding-dong for granted. In some parts of Africa, they steal penises.

The founder of Greenpeace, Patrick Moore (not the stargazing Sir Patrick Moore) details why he decided to leave the organisation he set up in a WSJ report. Here’s a snippet: “At first, many of the causes we championed, such as opposition to nuclear testing and protection of whales, stemmed from our scientific knowledge of nuclear [...]
There is a worldwide resource crisis in full-swing right now, and it’s coming home to roost. Costco are seeing customers stocking up on staple products as prices continue to climb ever higher. China has only 12 days worth of coal in their supply line. Japan is starting to suffer food shortages requiring their government to [...]
I do a fair bit of travel during the year, mostly short haul puddle hops lasting no more than a couple of hours. Occasionally we will go somewhere further away, which requires a longer flight, more hassle and less comfort. Thankfully some airlines take passenger comfort more seriously than others, as you can determine from [...]
The BBC are reporting a strange attack at a Jedi Church in Wales involving a drunken Darth Vader and a Jedi Knight. It’s the stuff of dreams.
Statistics show that the average browser will give a site a generous 7 seconds to perform or they’re outta there faster than you can click a mouse. Add the rumours that Google are factoring site response times into their algorithm and it becomes even more important. Check out these tips to speed up your site [...]
Need I say any more? Problems with voting have been reported (and updated with proof) in PA, where the critical battle for supremacy between Obama and Clinton is being played out.

I’m a sucker for huge construction projects: the bigger it is, the better. And if it happens to be on the Discovery Channel then that’s even better again! Here are 6 of the biggest earth moving projects ever from the NYC Subway and Boston’s big dig to the Panama Canal.
Anyone else remember the Flowbee? Well, it is officially one of the 10 dumbest business ideas that actually made money.
Kudos to this guy who has just finished walking around the world! I’ve been walking about 4 miles every night for the last week because we have been experiencing rather mild weather for the time of the year. How lame does that sound compared to completing a round-the-world trip on foot after 18 years? Very.
