Did they yell "Eureka"?

The Propellerheads consist of keyboardist/bassist/DJ Alex Gifford and drummer/DJ Will White.  They sprang out of Bath, England in 1996.

The Facial Expressions of Tethys by artist Julius von Bismarck. A suspended high-sea buoy that moves in real time. Sensors on a twin buoy out in the Atlantic Ocean send live satellite data to motors inside the museum. This makes the indoor buoy copy the exact, real-time movements of the ocean waves.

It's only 8am and I've already finished my ration of coffee #BackToSchool
An empty French Press sits forlornly atop an oak kitchen worktop. All the stuff needing to be cleaned since yesterday's dinner is hidden from sight via clever (if I say so myself) positioning and focusing.

The horse op-ed is an instant classic. I can't tell you how much joy this piece gives me. It should be taught in every introductory writing class in no small part because the horse arguments are so compelling. "I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children."
I Work Very Hard, And I Would Like To Try Cake

By A Horse

Hello. I am a horse. I work very hard at my job of being a horse. When humans say move the heavy thing, I move the heavy thing. When humans sit on top of me and pull on my head, I carry them where they want to go. The main food the humans give me is hay and oats. But I am thinking it would be nice to have a different food.

I am thinking I would like to try cake.

Yes, yes. Cake. I know all about it. When humans eat cake, it is in glad times. It is the food for a celebration, such as when a woman becomes 47. I have seen cake on the Fourth of July. When humans have a cake, they stand around it and clap hands and smile and say happy birthday at each other. Sometimes there are beautiful markings on a cake, such as balloons or a pink shape.

Sometimes the top of a cake is on fire and a boy must blow on the fire with mouth wind. This is the scariest cake. I do not want this kind. But I will eat any other cake. Any cake that is not the fire cake that tries to kill the boy.

Please understand: I do not get money for doing work. I do not get to go inside the house. All I am either doing my horse job or standing in my pen or eating food off the floor. I always do these things. But I have never once gotten cake and I would like it very much.

I have noticed that human children get to eat cake. But I am bigger than the children. I am more helpful to the farm. Children do not move the heavy things like me or let anyone ride on them. And yet they get cake. Maybe the humans will realize this. Maybe they will say, "You  know who deserves cake? That horse. That horse whose back we are always on."

Every day I dream about what it will be like if I get to eat cake. Here is what will happen. First, I will walk to the cake and putt my nose at it like hrrfff to make and stomping my hooves to make sure it is not a snake. Then I will trot in a circle to show that I am a horse and I am large. After that, I will nuzzle the cake to …

Help settle an argument about why they carve crosses in the bottom of Brussels Sprouts. My mum says it’s so they cook more evenly, I say it’s because they’re undead and it’s the only way to stop them coming back and eating your brains. My brother claims it’s so they expand on impact for a kill shot

This is the best bit of meaningless marketing statistics I've seen in a long time. Part of me wants to know their sample size and methodology, but mostly I'm jealous - I've got to use this
Close up of label for kitchen cleaner. Text states "removes up to 100% of tough stains."
Up to 100%.

It's 10 years since Cat Food Letterbox Day! Oh happy day!
Screenshot saying 2nd January 2016. Today my friend asked me to nip round hers and put some dried cat food through the letter box as they're away and were worried they forgot to set the auto-timer-feeding contraption and the cats would be hungry.  So I bought some Go Cat (herring and salmon with extra vegetables), went round and started flinging bits through the letter box. The door opened.  I'D GOT THE WRONG HOUSE.
