And another gem from the Thousand and One Nights:

Now the incense in question was the excrement of the Chief Patriarch, which was sought for with such instance and so highly valued, that the high priests of the Greeks used to mix it with musk and ambergris and send it to all the countries of the Christians in silken sachets; and kings would pay a thousand dinars for every drachm of it, for they sought it to perfume brides withal and the chief of them were wont to use a little of it in ointment for the eyes and as a remedy in sickness and colic. But the priests used to mix their own excrement with it, for that the excrement of the Chief Patriarch could not suffice for half a score countries

We hope you are enjoying your U-verse service. We wanted to make you aware that as of March 29, 2010; Fox Reality (channel 130) will end operations and will no longer be available. In addition to this change we are launching the National Geographic Wild channel on March 29, 2010.

Gmail option I just found: 

Mail Goggles

Google strives to make the world's information useful. Mail you send late night on the weekends may be useful but you may regret it the next morning. Solve some simple math problems and you're good to go. Otherwise, get a good night's sleep and try again in the morning. After enabling this feature, you can adjust the schedule in the "General" settings page.

Could save a lot of embarrassing moments 

I was just reading an article about that. Apparently it doesn't work all that well.

Apparently there's a march today in Berlin commemorating the 125th anniversary of the end of the Berlin Conference 1884/5 which carved up the colonial spheres in Africa.

The marchers call for a memorial in Berlin that condemns colonialism, slavery, and racist violence. They also intend to raise awareness of Germany's blood stained colonial history (pre-1933 Germany is not present in most people's minds except in the broadest of terms).
