Religion has proved once again to be hazardous to health. 150 people died at a stampede during the Hindu Shravan Navratras festival where the “divine mother” is worshipped. This only after a month after about the same number of people died at Naina Devi temple after a shelter collapsed and someone helpfully shouted “Landslide!” These [...] Continuing the recent death theme, I thought I would share these fantastic pics. Herons are big buggers, as can be seen. They are also opportunistic predators, taking what they can find, normally fish, insects and amphibians. Flopsy looks rather surprised to be picked up by the ears. The heron then deliberately drowned flopsy in [...] The above graph shows my daily hit rate.

We’ve selected some great products to help you make that grand gesture. Plus, with [...] Many years ago, I used my computers’ spare processor cycles to analyse radio signals for SETI.
