This is one of those underdog stories that supposedly only happen in movies… only sometimes they really do happen in real life ;) It’s a beautiful story.

Google Ads

As you may have noticed, I’ve put up some Google Ads in the side bar. It’s a sort of experiment - I’ve never played around with internet ads before and I want to find out about them.
But anyway, due to this, I am (quite rightly) obligated by Google to tell all my readers about how [...]

Rare earth elements, how they’re used and why China has a monopoly on them

The world depends on China in a multitude of ways (which I, personally, find a bit unsettling), but this angle is not often mentioned and it’s rather major.
If you own any sort of electronic device, the substances in it were probably mined in China. This is especially true for Japanese brands, apparently, as 100% of [...]

This is a really weird, but very interesting clip on monkeys who like to drink alcohol…

I’d find this sort of thing impressive even if they were adults, but it’s even more interesting (and cute) because they’re so young (just 6 & 7 years old).

It’s a shame the hosts are so patronizing. Must say I prefer the British hosts a lot more - they might be a little softer with some [...]

Are there any other boybands (or pop groups of any sort for that matter) that would start a concert with a string quartet playing Richard Strauss? ;)
But what I really wanted to post was the song that comes right after the classical music bit - I just had a total giggling fit over it:

Harry Potter cast interviews in gay magazines

Last year, Daniel Radcliffe did an interview in Attitude Magazine, which greatly amused me as I have a really stupid sense of humour (that said, it was a really good interview). This year, he’s continuing the trend, by giving an interview to Out Magazine. Again, it’s a very nice interview and the photos are hilarious [...]

According to statistics over 80% of comments left on blogs are spam. In my case it’s even worse than that as over 90% of the comments I get are spam (which is why I moderate this blog pretty heavily). Just to give you an idea - at this time there are 618 comments on this [...]

He really is getting better at this sort of thing ;) It’s a really nice interview :)

Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows: Part I - the official teaser trailer

I know I’ve supposedly posted the first teaser about 6 months ago, but the real teaser trailer (whatever that means ;-P) is this:

They use many of the same shots on both teasers, but the new one is somewhat more interesting :)
The scraps of feedback that have come through from a super secret maximum-security test screening [...]
