mySociety: a VoxPolitics project - this sounds like a good idea - an organisation that wants to develope social/community enhancing Internet-based material

Fox nearly sued itself over 'Simpsons' parody: Matt Groening - The evil empire that is Rupert Murdoch's News corp - probably one of the most pernicious threats to enlightened society shows just how byzantine it's workings are. It's definately ttime that governments of this world clubbed together and taxed the bastard out of existence - it's why he hates the notion of European integration and why he has tried to get a stranglehold on so much of the world's media interests.

Fossil find fills evolution gap - www.smh.com.au - it seems one of the earliest fossilised chondrites - the bridge between invertebrates and vertebrates - basically an blob-like worm with a stiffening rod along its back
