Looks like the government's flirtation with nuclear power is over, at least for now, with the Minister for the Environment doubting it would be the best option for reducing greenhouse. The public remain wary of nuclear power stations.

A woman accidentally packed her cat. Ginger survived and is fine. (I've lost my copy of the macro with a cat in a suitcase saying, "You thought you forgot me, but you didn't really." ETA: Found it!)

Fun from the green revolution: there are 50,000 chemicals used in agriculture and by vets in Australia; only 1 in 100 of them has been tested for health and environmental impact. Children are especially vulnerable, before and after birth. Agricultural workers are at least twice as likely to die as other workers.

Check out Scarleteen: Sex Ed For The Real World.

Behold! The Ashes to Ashes Children In Need ad.

Bloopers from Emmet Otter's Jug Band Christmas. These are largely unremarkable, but there's a great bit where a prop just will not do what it's supposed to, and Frank Oz and Jerry Nelson riff on it without breaking character.

And finally, John Barrowman was on fine form when the NME called.

Oh... kay. So they x-rayed the suitcase, saw something that was clearly an animal inside and asked her if she had a turkey, and when she denied it they did not make her open the suitcase to see what kind of animal (live or dead) she may have been smuggling?

Gotta love Canadian airport security. Two months after 9/11, a friend of mine got on a plane in Toronto with an exacto knife in her purse (she had meant to put it in her checked luggage with some other craft supplies) and didn't realise it until she got to her destination. Her purse had been x-rayed and nobody noticed what she had.

I'm boggled by the fact that they X-rayed the woman's suitcase several times and didn't notice that the skeletal shape was MOVING.
