From our good friends at fortune
An American scientist once visited the offices of the great Nobel prize winning physicist, Niels Bohr, in Copenhagen. He was amazed to find that over Bohr’s desk was a horseshoe, securely nailed to the wall, with the open end up in the approved manner (so it would catch the good luck and not let it…

Bible Arguments
http://www.ethicalatheist.com/docs/religion_and_science.html An interesting site. Those of you that regularly read this blog (which I think amounts to my mum =) ), will note that I’m generally open minded. This site, however, is a direct oposite for all the things I’ve ranted about Fundies. Indeed, most of the articles on this site managed to annoy both…

In Search of a New Name
Using this Name Generator, I managed to find the names “Standard Pirate”, and “Mechanical Angel”. One shortens to SP, and the other MA. Not bad.

301 Useless Facts
301 Useless facts Essentially what most blogs are about, random stuff that’s out there, mixed with a little opinion. This Blog, par example, is missing on a bit of opinon, mostly due to time constraints. Hopefully, I can fix that sometime soon. Until then, enjoy the links. WFKSK

A Gigapixel Image
Van Gogh’s Starry Night seen here as a Gigapixel image. That is, (as the page explains), thousands of smaller images used to make up the picture. I thought it was quite neat. WFKSK
