    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/7465419.stm

    I've animated the two superimposed images so you can play spot the difference.

      Tripod alert

      The summer sun is fading as the year grows old
      and darker days are drawing near
      my life will be forever colder
      now you're not here

      If we discover mercury on mars and manage to mine it, will the rigs be called HG Wells ?

          How fortunate for governments that the people they administer don't think

            The chances of anything coming from Mars...

            Btw, "Forever Autumn" one of my all time favourite songs.

              a) Oh bugger. Mars is a big ball of white plastic covered with an inch or two of dust.

              b) That's just where the dairy fat has separated out because the chocolate is so old. A little deeper is the caramel layer, then the fluffy bit like in a Milky Way.

              I have to either turn it off, or discretely leave the room. It makes me cry.
              My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.

                zeity, I wonder if these whippersnappers would believe that we had BJ's then.

                  You invented Ben & Jerry's?


                  I'm sure Ben might dispute that claim.

                  Jerry is probably non to happy about it either.
