Not sure how interesting this will be for anyone, but well... Anyway, I moved here a few months ago now, and the first job was to start on turning the massive crappy yard (of the kind usually seen on Animal Cops Houston containing malnourished pit bull terriers) into something civilised with grass a...

Prof Stringer thinks that ancient humans did not die away once they had given rise to modern humans. Why does it takes experts so long to fall over the obvious? The attempts to fit every skeletal piece into a straight line evolution has become embarrassing in recent years. Roy. My theory in this ca...

Take your point, Dig. It's difficult to tell quite where to draw the line between theoretical but probable and the wackier stuff, except I'm told that with quantum theory, or at least with some of the bizarre stuff like particles being in two places at once, the sums add up and somehow it can be tes...

Put me down for some rain too, please. There are now cracks in the garden containing dinosaurs and Doug McClure. The humidity isn't so bad here in SA, although in Houston it's beyond belief - like the surface of Venus. Having said that, this morning when I went out to water the lawn I'm trying to en...

San Antonio also broke it's own record last week - 112 I believe, or 111.

This would be one of your rhetorical questions, yes?

And a lot of people who know nothing of orbital dynamics trying to find a comet with an orbital period so that it will hit in 2012, They might do just as well to take a closer look at the Mayan calendar rather than just taking it for granted that whatever drug-addled shaved chimp came up with that ...

Kim Kardashian,

Isn't she attacking Deep Space Nine?
