One minute to midnight

Ok so some bright head teacher  has ban  kiss chase and tag, because it was becoming too rough.

The person then goes on to blame TV and videogames for the violence.

I’m not talking about the recreational stuff, cos drugs are bad mkay.  

The Division Bells
Nice bit of Prog Rock, released in 1994, this one is a favourite of mine.

A Japanese minister got into some trouble recently over his assesment of the lack of children in their nation and the demographic problems they present.
"Because the number of birth-giving machines and devices is fixed, all we can ask for is for them to do their best per head." 
I really don't know what to say to this.

It would seem that I was abused as a child. Apparently the horror of eating roast chicken is child abuse I’m not saying that my Mums cooking it bad (It really is quite good).

Kudos to they guys across the pond as they have managed to produce there very own heat ray.

Fortunately its not the "make your enemies burst into flames" type of heat ray, but rather a method to disperse hostile crowds with out using the water cannon or rubber bullets, which lets face it are still bullets.

It seems it is safe enough to use on journalist as one of the guys from Reuters was given a demonstration.

Apparently being hit by the heat ray is like opening a really hot oven. Certainly enough to knock you back.

Isn't it fun to live in a futurist world where people have heat rays. All we have to do now if figure out a way of putting it on some three legged war machine.

Some of you may consider humans to be the highest form of life on earth.

The more wise would say Mice, with a notable mention to the dolphins.
