Specs: estimated weight = around 1000 kg; skull length: 53 cm. don't supposed they'd be lured by a chunk of cheese cunningly hidden in a trap, would they?

POPSNgugi Wa Thiong'o on Kenyan election I urge you to go to the source and read the entire article. I am generally a huge advocate of t he 1000 character limit for clipping, however this time it has really made life difficult for me. Ngugi Wa Thiong'o is one of Kenya's great writers - this recent assessment is, in my opinion, a surprisingly objective take on the pre-election situation in December 2007. (Written before the elections took place)

POPSYou Darkness, from which I came You Darkness, from which I came, I love you more than all the Flames, Limiting the World, by shining all around us, (?) so that no one knows of the darkness. But the darkness actually holds everything: Form and Flame, Animals and me, How easily it gathers them, (?) Men and Might - And it is possible: a great Power is coming closer. I believe in Nights. *** by Ranier Maria Rilke (My own terrible German translation...)

POPSWhen it's on the tip of your toungue If a picture paints a thousand words, a metaphor paints a million pictures. I love metaphors,so I just thought I'd do a clip then I figured if it was going to fit I was going to have to be more specific. I am amazed at the way a metaphor can translate ideas between people, that may have been mutually exclusive. The way when there is a completely new concept related, we may be unable to find any direct analogy, but a metaphor can provide enough clues to transmit understanding. It can be a case of I can't explain exactly, but I can show you where to look. The way poets, musicians, artists, writers use metaphors creatively to allow new ideas or emotions to be accepted more easily.

POPSPersepolis I went to see this at the cinema last night. And I absolutely loved it. It's political. It's critical. It's naive. It's full of wisdom. It's funny. It's sad. Its message is simple. Its message is deep. Just wonderful!

POPSSEXY (Totaly hot naked picture of a Mono-monostatic object: perfect geometric equilibrium) Now that I have your attention, allow me to introduce the Gomboc! It's an object of absolutely perfect geometric equilbrium. There is only one position in which it can rest, and it will always return to the exact same posture, because the balance of its proportions all pull it to a single incredibly narrow center of gravity. And, it is TOTALLY NAKED! I mean, just check out the curves on this one! How did we get this Gombloc? Well, there were a few Russian mathematicians sitting around (probably stoned) who thought it would be cool. So they just sat down and did the math "for a few years" and then tested thousands of pebles (once again, STONED!) until they just decided to make one themselves. I am so not worthy!
