If was sensible I’d start putting the actual dates I publish them or if i was patient I’d just wait until Fridays.

Apparently i’m neither…

• Paris has been startled
• What’s Happening
• Russ Mills
• Vanitas
• Anti-patterns
• Where babies come from
• A riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma
• Slow-mo
• Palindrome
• Gig Posters (thx to Bash via Gadsbo)
• Subprime
• “…if you was to put me and this here sniper rifle anywhere up to and including one mile of Adolf Hitler with a clear line of sight, sir… pack your bags, fellas, war’s over. Amen.”

The squad has been announced and overall I’m pretty happy. It’s not far off what I would’ve gone for, though would’ve liked to have seen Tom Croft and maybe Thom Evans taken along.

Paul O’Connell has been announced as the Lions captain for this summer and though I still would’ve gone for Drico myself I can see why you’d choose O’Connell, especially up against the Springboks.

The full squad is announced tomorrow afternoon (fingers crossed for Ireland’s greatest ever contribution to the squad) and just incase Geech is a little unsure how this sort of thing works there’s a quite handily titled article on the BBC site:

Ian McGeechan’s choice of squad is critical to the Lions’ fortunes in South Africa

You don’t say…

For the full effect watch it in HD - 1000 Frames per second is a selection of clips taken at (wait for it…) 1000 frames per second. The bouncing jelly cube at the end is incredible (albeit mind-boggling)

The Big Picture has a collection of snaps from zoos around the world, some of which are ridculously cute:

That said some of them aren’t so nice - the Armenian travelling zoo especially.
