I lol'd.

Saddle angle

The saddle at that angle acts as a hydrofoil to keep it afloat.

Lego boob.

Spotter, I've lost hours in that particular rich seam of Wikipedia

In the bible the the devil tempts jesus by turing stones into bread, if it was me (and if it wasn't fiction) he'd have probably turned up with a laptop and a direct link to wikipeda

Ugh, forgot to preview.

Dunno why I've never bookmarked APOD before, but that has now been corrected.

I think I do actually. Will read in detail later. So far as the drug thing goes, it's clear that the cartels will never stop smuggling. It's also clear the appetite for cocaine is only going to increase. Little can be done about either of those things. If drugs were legalised, which is the only move left on the part of the authorities, things could be controlled. It needs to happen, otherwise the whole business will get nastier still. I don't believe that housewives across the globe will become coke-heads were it legal. There'll be egg on the faces of the powers that be when it happens, as they'll quickly see they've missed a trick for far too long. Statistics like in that article are shameful.

That's ace. Some real mentals in there though.

I'm also pretty certain that the 3rd in from the left for the Kiss photo is BRM:
