    Life not danger, not even of a heart attack every day a fresh box of fruit is delivered to each office for the staff to help themselves to. The last place I was at charged me 70p for a banana that had seen better days.

    I'm yet to seen a oversized Norwegian, they all seem so exercise obsessed its scary.

    Watch out - they might be soldiers loyal to Edward II who have been hiding in the forests for 700 years and don't know the war is over!

    Nah just curious I suspect, he’s long gone now probably back off into the hills.

    Reading in the aftenposten why mirrors have been installed on the roadside because the moose stray onto the roads you see, apparently their reflection frightens them – I know how they feel.

    My last contract I was looking out at a carpark with the gentle hum of the M27 in the background, so far today I’ve had moose, and 5 or 6 guys in camouflage carrying rather large firearms…

    Hmm there is a moose outside my window, should I offer it some of my sandwich?

    From Mort, by Terry Pratchett.

    "The only things known to go faster than ordinary light is monarchy,
    according to the philosopher Ly Tin Weedle. He reasoned like this: you
    can't have more than one king, and tradition demands that there is no gap
    between kings, so when a king dies the succession must therefore pass to
    the heir *instantaneously*. Presumably, he said, there must be some
    elementary particles -- kingons, or possibly queons -- that do this job,
    but of course succession sometimes fails if, in mid-flight, they strike an
    anti-particle, or republicon. His ambitious plans to use his discovery to
    send messages, involving the careful torturing of a small king in order to
    modulate the signal, were never fully expanded because, at that point, the
    bar closed."

    Depends what you mean by speed. Einstein was wrong in many respects, but got some interesting results, if for the wrong reasons. You'll catch on eventually.

    Einstein said that the speed of light is the ultimate speed in the universe. I’ve often wondered what the speed of dark might be…
