Hahaha When evolution went a bit wrong.. excellent find K!

'I've noticed you've taken your top off..'

Computers..

Not mine, but made me laugh: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SADhAmYWbEYThq*OTTV9afTPdmNNYUj7c054t58fgEtKByRTbNnL9sHEucgpDbvQLIY9pWSsPGFFatzIEfR!NIec8zXR6gDZyrstWA!gC!1LAAAAynJVAg/koreanwarsII.jpg Edit: Should work now..

I don't see what's wrong with people with religious conviction spending money on statues if that's what they want to do Tofu dude! Statues, especially ones inspired by religious conviction have looked great throughout history; simply look at the works of Bernini; he erected perhaps the greatest work of sculpture in history for the Shrine of Saint Teresa of Avila, Memory thinks.. Use you vote for your other qualms.

Chuck Norris with a lightsaber! What a terrifying thought! Must doff one's cap to some of the photoshopping with some of thoughs..

Hahahaha Excellent M fella!

I was reading about that today as well. I was also reading about this: Click image for the New Scientist article

Perry was the Commodore who commanded the world changing expedition; James Carson Brevoort was part of the expedition's company.

Stray cats and cockroaches aren't about seven foot tall and similar to apes in physique by the accounts of the Bigfoot myth; that means it's not just virtually impossible for it as a species to have remained hidden for so long in the environment where the myth has reported it to lurk; North America and Canada, but more importantly not to have an effect on the ecosystem around it to have gone unnoticed. Being that big requires quite a lot of food, the more so in evidence if it was a herbivore. It simply doesn't make any sense scientifically. You've got bears in your neck of the woods, right? That's probably your Bigfoot legend. And Tofu put it perfectly about giant squids. We've only had the technology to wade from the shallows into the depths of 2/3 of the planet to discover new species of living creatures realistically within the last decade; despite the hints turning up as scars on beached sperm whales from their encounters with these awesome creatures. Wikipedia has reasonably good entry on the giant squid btw.

So.. Notes on some figures of Japanese fish taken from recent specimens by the artists of the U.S. Japan Expedition, by James Carson Brevoort. United States Naval Expedition to Japan (1852-1854) Contained in: Narrative of the expedition of an American squadron to the China Seas and Japan, in 1852, 1853, and 1854, by M.C. Perry. v.2. The links all work, despite the borked thumbs.

We have Darwin's original publication concerning the Origin of the species; and loads of his original letters and papers; I helped design a display not so long ago for the Society's reception featuring some of his stuff.. My main man, Michael, our archivist, decided to go to Marrakesh this week, so i'm a little lost around his little Empire in the strong room, other than the Perry book I know the exact location of. I'll try and snap up some pics tomorrow of the book.

Can't see how an animal like Bigfoot would have learnt to be so elusive from humans from it's evolutionary experience.

Uh! Must check my favourites folder on the site I sense a Noooooooooooooooo!

I promised Paul some pictures of the Zoological Society of London's 'vaults,' where I work, where all the bound journals are stored in a recent email, so had the images lurking on my HD today. The basement where they lurk: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TADZArYWrIAqdhVYTHvZIX0ekLC7IM7!AQHqjs2zT7SpQ07O5F0OqlNvob3J8i3Qgj3owdLLnhHxIPH7FEYz3qvrxduqUN9Spa!**vCVQFdrIYorIcadPw/basement_01.jpg http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0TAD2ArcW7IAqdhVYTHvZIcBc!8SOtlcYocOTUFY!ClEAotEpUwhOvYSJL4ocC9ukesHN8WFKV*Ll9jV8gRlMJjD3FAvBQqDm!MrFkwPXml*nSt6bRR6z0A/basement_02.jpg And the first part of the strong room, where the expensive stuff is kept: http://groups.msn.com/_Secure/0SwAAAOEWb4dD8QgKiOm7X18nzeWIxnwRq1AmSWw7q87QZhNJgtQBAW4utf0lnClNkDF3g5bVGrozSLy9494bVI*gN15Fqb!30y74fGK4Ad!VhcDR5ee1Vg/Strongroom.jpg Our oldest book is from about 1550, and kept in another strong room I am not permitted in law to photograph. But there is a truly amazing collection of books amongst the collection, including a book that grabbed my attention not so long ago written by one of Commodore Matthew Calbraith Perry's officers around 1852. Whilst the USA was ending Japanese isolationism, this guy not only found the time to write a book about Japanese fish, but illustrated it beautifully, and subsequently got the book published. If I find the time, i'll grab a picture of it tomorrow, because just think; because of Perry's expedition, Japan had modernized enough for it's fleet to sink an entire Russian Navy fifty years later, which is remarkable if you think about it. Not that that has anything to do much with a book on fish. But anyway, i'm the poor sucker who has to file these books, and shift the stacks... Sorry, I saw this thread, and was reminded of work...

Hello mate! Long time no see!

This made me laugh: http://b3ta.hnldesign.nl/beta196.jpg

Broke my wrist when I fell off my skateboad as a kid. Remarkably that's it given the amount of time I spent working on a bike or up trees.

730kb direct linkage is a bit huge D16 fella, as has been pointed out in the past. Just think of the non-broad band lurkers weeping tears of frustration as the site grinds to stand-still for them! Anyway, in the meantime: http://www.sayagain.co.uk/b3tapix/images/lemur3a.gif Lemur's are ace! Oh! Not by me!

Episode III stuff..

Best concert I went to was Motorhead's 10th anniversary at Hammersmith here in London, many, many years ago, when I was a teenager. Loud wasn't the word; it was volcannic!

Arf! That's cool! Edit: Kitty has attitude..

It was that or actually pay some attention in class.. Anyway, nice stuff D!
