Hypermiling might be the word of the year but I prefer topless meeting. Only it’s not what you think.
Fine Gael’s economic ‘plan’ dissected in far better fashion than I can muster.
Greenland goes to the referendum booth to seek greater self-rule powers.
Take that you spammy feckers.
If we could resurrect neanderthals by cloning, should we?
The town where no one is allowed to die.
…but that doesn’t necessarily mean nothing lives there.
Carbon dioxide, a potential fingerprint of life, has been discovered for the first time in the atmosphere of a planet orbiting another star… carbon dioxide is one of four chemicals that life can generate, so being able to detect it shows that astronomers have the ability to find the signs of life on other worlds.
The Saudi pirates who captured a Saudi oil tanker are now only asking $15m in ransom, down from $25m.
I took the above photo in a local bookshop. With the exception of one or two books at the top left and lower right, all of these deal with child abuse; they are survivor stories. They are the legacy of years of abuse in this country and I don’t doubt that the writing process helped the victims to come to terms with what happened to them. But is the fact that there is such a number of books, and such a sustainable and sizeable market, an indication of us as a society? Are we so fascinated with other people’s misery?
Any opinions on the Chinese Democracy? It took 13 years and $17m after all.

The glaciers, the biggest known deposits of water on Mars outside of its poles, could prove useful for future manned missions to the red planet as drinking water or rocket fuel, University of Texas planetary geologist John Holt said.
