Although there’s not a lot to this site, it does regularly post news about Chinese Lunar research.

Also, when I tried to give it a ‘thumbs up’ got the SU ‘Bad URL’ error so to visit it click the link above the picture.

Mrs Cloggy to retrieve Clogiron’s Flat Cap?
http://clogiron.stumbleupon.com/


The planned rocket launch to retrieve Cloggy’s cap was cancelled one day before the launch date.

I can exclusively reveal why this happened – the daring Mrs Cloggy has spent the last few days in the tool shed feverishly building her own rocket propulsion pack.

Despite pleas from the Health and Safety Executive, NASA and Air Traffic Control she is determined to go ahead.

We all wish her luck.

That wish has come true, since I no longer know how to use my telephone.”

Nolligan Nino crosses the finish line in the Great Snail Race, Second Life July 14th 2007.

From Huron to Noyo along the roads of Second Life we ran.

Running for charity and cutting a comic image that made loads of people laugh out loud as around a dozen enormous snails jostled for position, nudging and bumping into each other.

Even though it was hellish competitive, I could not resist the urge to ‘slime’, or rather ‘bump’ people who were standing in the road.

It was also encouraging to hear residents shouting my name and urging me to run faster. My favourite comment was:

“Look at those Escargot!”

…and on the positive side I did raise a small amount for cancer relief.

Many thanks to my SL friend RacerX Gullwing for the being the host and to all the many others who helped organise the event.

BTW I came third, not bad considering I started at the back.

This week:

Cancer (June 21-July 22)

Relentless robotic focus on technological imperatives has turned you into an asocial automaton; you’re having difficulty passing the Turing test, even with your family and loved ones.
Time to gather up what remains of your disintegrating humanity and explore your nonlinear side:

Train a cat to fetch,
attempt telepathic contact with giant koi,
try to find the hidden Christian messages in Marilyn Manson CDs.

ARIES 21 March-2O April
Fruit looks set to play a key part in your week, and so does a 60-watt, mini-candelabra-style, screw-in light bulb.
It’s all the fault of Neptune, the planet of healthy living, rising in Aquarius, the sign of irritatingly hard-to-find household goods.
