    From David Byrne’s journal: According to Einstein we’ve got a little over 4 years. Here’s a quote from him: “If the bee disappeared off the surface of the globe then man would only have four years of life left.

    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.

    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.
