Image of the Week: Win A Dream Holiday

My mate posted this on Facebook. I thought this was ironic due to the fact this paper came out only a couple of days after the Costa Concordia tragedy happened (on Friday 13th January, woo00ooo), and just above the photo of the sinking cruise ship they’ve got a big red headline offering to win a dream holiday.

Stuff I’ve appreciated while flailing around in the net: Chimpanzees Use Sex Tools (Physorg.com) Male chimps attract attention by rustling dry leaves to get lady chimps to check out their erections.  Sound effects are woefully underused by human males in courting, IMO, except for farting, belching, and Eric Clapton (none of which work on me, sorry). Facebook’s Gone Rogue; It’s Time for an Open Alternative  (Wired.com) A critique of FB’s worrying privacy policies and user interface, and a call to action for open source developers.
