“In 2004, the government used the royal prerogative - exercised by ministers in the Queen’s name - to effectively nullify the decision.” —

Chagos exiles ruling overturned

Very sad news and the above quote from the article particularly caught my attention.

What century are we living in and WHY is there such a thing as “royal prerogative”!

Dawkins' atheist ad campaign hits fundraising target • The Register → theregister.co.uk

I like the sentiment.  Maybe the next campaign could say “There’s probably no god - have a lie in on a Sunday morning”

Hamilton heads Massa in practice → news.bbc.co.uk

Here’s hoping that two red cars and one arsey spaniard finish WELL behind Lewis tomorrow too, not to mention Sunday!

Wolverhampton kebabs corpse shocker! → theregister.co.uk

Sometimes I’m so glad to be a vegetarian.  Mind you I was never a fan of kebabs anyway.  How do they prepare that odd looking lamb(?) that gets cooked for days until the whole lot is eaten barf!

HAL : Hybrid Control System - CYBERDYNE → cyberdyne.jp

Wow looks like we’re getting, there useful robotics for everyone?  And not a military application in sight so it makes you wonder what’s being cooked up behind closed doors at DARPA etc.

I just hope it’s not networked else the elderly or disabled users would have to be on the look out for the riverdance virus!

a land where you can still see the Burning Bush where God spoke to Moses.

I would LOVE to see that burning bush, is it still burning, does God still speak via the bush?

Catholic priests cane YouTube over blasphemous vids • The Register → theregister.co.uk

Religious nutcases.  So many people taking the idea of the “Host” that seriously and literally is a bit worrying!  Next thing you know people will start taking those old testament stories seriously…

space "joy riders" join climate experiment → news.bbc.co.uk

It’s difficult to think of a more worthless and wasteful enterprise than Branson’s space joy ride.  So the “agreement between Virgin Galactic and Noaa is on a ‘no exchange of funds’ basis” is presumably down to the guilt the project directors feel at dumping so many unecessary polutants in the upper atmosphere?
