Pink Robot
For the wall of fame/shame outside our office we’ve* decided rather than picking a piece of work to display we’ll** each produce a piece specifically to go on the wall which can be anything at all really, it can be work-related or totally random. It can be the piece of work you’d produce given a completely free rein.
For mine I’m going to have some fun with Pink Robot from Electric City, I’m not totally sure where she’s going but here’s where she’s starting.
* Where by we I mean mainly me
** Where by we I mean the whole department, though I think that might take some convincing…

Organ Recall
A new kid-safe uterus will be available in 2009 … In the meantime, please refrain from swallowing any ovaries.
Magazine Monitor over at the BBC Website had gone for this as its quote of the day, personally I prefer the above – read on over at I Heart Guts…

Guess Who?
This might rival the Jules Winnfield, “Does he look like a bitch?” As the coolest thing anyone’s done with Guess Who.

Thanks to the J-Ho for this one

Why Binomial Names are fun
I think my favourite binomial names fall into one of two groups: those where the genus name and the species name are the same, and those where it’s name has old school Roman or Greek origins, more specifically where it’s name is a combination of two other animals.
As such I like:
- Rattus rattus
- The Camel Leopard
- Bison bison (especially Bison bison bison)
- The Sparrow Camel
- Gorilla gorilla gorilla (for Final Fling fans see also…)
- and Basilicus basilicus
Leopard itself gets an honourable mention for being the offspring of a Lion and a Pard.
Additional:
Although I don’t like the idea of the group’s membership requirements, I think there’s a good pub quiz question to be had out of the Barbary Lion, Pere David’s Deer and the Hawaiian Crow
I’d kind of hoped my binomial name list would be more extensive but as I can hear birdsong I think I should retire – hopefully I’ll add to my list over the next few days.
