I read the news today oh boy! Page 673

But what about the foxes? Eh? Eh? I sense discrimination here.

They're doing shifts looking pitiful in your garden

The main man hasn't appeared tonight. I suspect Ellie.

It actually makes a nice change for a ridiculously rich footballer to use his money with some imagination, rather than just on prostitutes.

Cool.

Good place to hide the bodies though. Just saying.

A Swedish man has survived being trapped in his snow-covered car for two months without food../

How would you get trapped in a car? If covered in snow, why didn't he try to dig his way out? Maybe the doors froze up...and the windows? And he couldn't break one?

The mind does boggle. Why didn't he run out of oxygen?

Heston Blumenthal is creating artificial burgers with a fellow mad Dutch scientist.

It's the end of the world as we know it.

This made me chuckle today:

Science Fiction got there first.. I think the significant story for this theme was called "Chicken Little".

<later>
Hmm can't find it.
This is NOT the one I recall: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Chicken-science-fiction-novella-ebook/dp/B0064EG7RQ

<later still>
Ah, here's a reference to and an extract of the one I meant. http://www.technovelgy.com/ct/content.asp?Bnum=1002

The idea is in Pohl and Kornbluth's 1952 novel The Space Merchants. As the years go by I increasingly think that this was the most depressingly prophetic work of fiction ever.
