Sticking a bluetooth hands free thingy in their ear the moment they leave the house and on the way home again instantly increasing their working hours, suckers.Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment

Nothing against people having children, just leave them at home please.The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
