I had forgotten how funny PhD comics are:
First Law, Second Law, Third Law

I don’t really like criticising people for trying to speak a foreign language. At least they are trying. That said, people should really know that using an automatic translator to help you understand a text is OK, but it is definitely not OK for translating official announcements. The following two pictures were taken in front […]

Ever wanted to know what Galactus feels when he is devouring the world’s main cities? Now you can. The Eat London project will have people cooking an edible model of London that we Londoners can go and eat afterwards.

With great satisfaction and surprise, I received today the news that abortion had finally been legalised in Mexico City. Note that this legislation only applies to Mexico City, not the whole country. With this measure the Federal District joins a few other states in allowing the voluntary interruption of pregnancy during the first twelve weeks.

This is a very funny rant about the ubiquitousness of Pachelbel’s Canon in D.

Well, I had to go to Norwich and face the old Master (read supervisor) sooner or later. So I packed a copy of my spellbook (thesis) and my portable lab (laptop) and transported myself (via train) to the northeast to the old towne. Facing your Master is always a daunting prospect.

Amusements

Comic book series "52" DC comics What happened in the 52 weeks after the Infinite Crises? What happened in the 52 weeks without Superman, Batman or Wonder Woman? What happened in the weeks leading to World War 3 in the DC Universe?

Books "The Machine Crusade": Legends of Dune 2 Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson The second volume of the Legends of Dune prequels, where the origins of the Dune universe as we know it are revealed.

Music "Elodia" Lacrimosa A fantastic symphonic/gothic rock album.

Last movie watched in the cinema "The Painted Veil" John Curran with Naomi Watts and Edward Norton. Period piece about an English bacteriologist and his estranged wife living in the middle of a cholera epidemic in China. The music and landscapes are fantastic. It was quite funny to see both leads, particularly Edward Norton, kept losing their accents. And yes, the mother superior used to be Mrs. Emma Peel, once upon a time.
