    How ridiculous is this? Two people arrested and cautioned for ‘stealing’ wifi. I can’t believe the Police actually wasted time on this to be honest. Andrew Jones should watch out – his crawls for WiFI are legendary, and have even prompted him to call for software to help 😉 Moral: don’t be a dumb-ass. If…

    I’ve always gawped in wonder at the bit in Acts 8 where "the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. Philip, however, appeared at Azotus". The only teleportation reference in the Bible? Anyway, seems like they’ve finally worked out how…

    Great tip via the Moot site – this cheeky electronic crucifix, which transmits the Lord’s Prayer in ASCII at 916Mhz to all around.
