This animation is impressive. Remember all those old movies of horse robots trampling along, and falling over?

Grandma Eats Cannabis
I just heard the tail end of an interview with a 66 year old grandmother who appeared in court on Friday week ago for making cannabis laced cookies as a treat for friends and neighbours.
She was using the drug to ease her aches and back pain, for medicinal purposes.
She’s now running for election in Wales.
Guess what? She has a website with recipes and ideas! It’s grandma-eats-cannabis.com!
Hacking the Papal Election
Hacking the Papal Election – great article that examines the Papal Election process. In this day and age I’d hope that the faith of the cardinals would discourage cheating but you never know!
There is one way of hacking the process..
The process is vulnerable to other forms of attack. Like Alexander VI Borgia’s tactic of wholesale bribery and assassination of opponents…
Rover, here boy! It's not a dog's life at Rover.
Proinnsias has a good replacement logo for the ailing Rover motor company.
By chance, I read this morning an article interviewing Jon Moulton who wanted to buy Rover a few years back.. “If only they’d sold Rover to me …” Love this quote:
Asked whether MG Rover might have had more success if Moulton had taken over the company, Daniel Ward, a spokesman for the car maker, said simply: “He didn’t.”
The paper has more here and here, including the revelation that the Chinese have a claim to the Rover name!
Pope John Paul II – Wikipedia
I’m reading the Wikipedia page on Pope John Paul II. It’s fascinating, especially the descriptions of his efforts to bring peace between Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy.
Now to read about that Great Schism.

The Man Who Saved the World
Great story about the man, Stanislav Petrov, who didn’t press the button. *phew*
Doctor Blue Box
Have you seen this man? Contact Clive if you have.
Yes, yes, welcome all Doctor Who fans! The first episode aired a few minutes ago and it was a great show! All that living plastic would give anyone the creeps except when they lose their heads and go smashing things up. hehe.
I have it series-linked on my Sky box so I’ll be watching. UKTV Gold is showing the original series at 6pm but I only caught the last 2 minutes of that episode in-between cooking a pizza but I think the new series will be better!
(Thanks Mark for telling me about it!)
I'm off coffee
I’m off coffee. I was never a big drinker, enjoying a cup with my breakfast and perhaps with my lunch later but I’ve gone cold turkey.
I’m off it two weeks now! 3 days into it I got an almost-unbearable headache for an hour but it disappeared and that’s it!
It’s still tempting however.. going into a cafe last weekend was a trial!
Thankfully I can think and work without extra stimulus.
