    Nothing like blurry shakey video to prove something is true. If you look carefully, you can clearly see Big Foot chatting to Lord Lucan behind one of the trees.

    Well. When I watched in slow frame it has shadows in all the right places. Watch it again, slowmo it and then comment again.

    Actually screw that. Good isn't it. :-o

    Here's a PDF of a scanned 1901 newspaper telling the tale of an eagle carrying off a baby, the mother giving chase on a mule, and having then to dangle down a cliff on a rope and kill both the eagle and its mate to get the baby back

    Trust the Sun to fall for it, the mugs (if they did, and weren't knowingly reporting a fake as if it was real).

    Will cloud computing lead to redendancies of vast numbers of IT support and development staff?

    Nah it's an urban myth.
