Yaxley, Rhodes ready to come home


Alex is on her way home. Whether she stays in the Adelaide Hills or to Canberra to be rehabilitated by the AIS is yet to be seen.

'American Serengeti' needed to save large mammals


'American Serengeti' needed to save large mammals. The best way to save the planet's large wild mammals facing extinction this century is the creation of a huge nature preserve in the US midwest, a group of leading biologists argue in this week's issue of Nature magazine.

Well, yeah. Bloody obvious, isn't it?

Fear of terrorism turns authorities into morons again!


I feel safer: Homeland Security vs. San Francisco Bay Area Puppeteers Guild. Mark Frauenfelder: Brian Stokes says: "I kid you not. My beloved San Francisco Bay Area Puppeteers Guild is under investigation by Homeland Security. According to their latest newsletter, its assets have been frozen ever since my friend and Treasurer Pam Brown resigned after 20 years and passed the miniscule nestegg to a new bank account a few months ago. The bank apologizes but legally can't do anything until Homeland Security determines this group of puppet fans and professionals is not planning to attack our country.

"This is the Guild where Jim Henson met a young Frank Oz and Jerry Juhl back in the 1960s. Not long ago, I was President, and before that, Secretary.

"But now our government thinks it's harboring terrorists." Link

As far as i'm concerned, it's official; the US government has gone gaga.
