Te - Tellenium I did this one the first day, but I love how the website explains "Research is hindered by the fact that if you absorb even tiny amounts, you smell of garlic for months." These are people who work with substances that can KILL YOU, mind.

Po - Polonium Used as an electron source in antistatic brushes. That Russian guy was poisoned by polonium-210.

Is there anyone out there who somehow hasn't already been geekily excited this week about the discovery of ice on Mars?

Helpful links are provided on the site - Listen to this story via streaming audio, a downloadable file, or get help. *cracks up laughing* Do you think they phrased it like that deliberately?


In other news, a satellite has been launched to monitor rising sea levels and track the effects of climate change.


And who wouldn't want one of these? Well, except for all those weird people who don't like tattoos. Never lose your mobile phone again!

On Never Mind the Buzzcocks they were mocking a British TV presenter called Fern Cotton so I googled her and she has a tattoo of a fern on her side, which looks awesome except I think the other smaller tatt near it detracts a lot. Why, Fern?

Buzzcocks!

I have watched eight episodes of Never Mind the Buzzcocks since last night. Do you think I can watch the other 25 I have on my HD before my intensive unit starts tomorrow? They're only 28 minutes long.

I CAN BUT TRY.

The thing about this show is, I know bugger all about music and never know who ANY of the guests are but it doesn't matter. Everyone has fun and takes the piss out of each other.

I just watched this episode. Go give it a go. It's funny! I promise!

The Real McCain

"You can't scare people or intimidate them if you're going to reach agreement with your colleagues and your contemporaries And I've worked hard at that, and that's what the American people want," McCain said. " The second thing is if I lose my capacity for anger, then I shouldn't be president of the United States. ... When I see the waste and corruption in Washington, I get angry."

Apparently THIS wasn't reported at the time because of the bad language
