Several things in the last few weeks have persuaded me that the World has indeed Gone Mad, with or without being Mentioned In The Book Of Revelations. So. Chicken farming in the Orkneys anyone?

It's that or self-immolation, and I'm too old for histrionics.

a-HA I see what you did there!

Can one farm chickens in Texas? If so count me in. I quite like these curly ones (http://www.freewebs.com/professorchickensbreeds/frizzles.htm) but there are a lot of fine looking chickens (http://www.ruleworks.co.uk/poultry/gallery-chickens.asp) out there it seems.
I'm up for anything that doesn't involve Administration, Taxes or Politics. Capitals (?Capitols) intentional.

I saw a hilarious article (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18420831?ordinalpos=2&itool=EntrezSystem2.PEntrez.Pubmed.Pubmed_ResultsPanel.Pubmed_RVDocSum) this week, it's pretty much the only thing that cheered me up. Save a couple of nice ladies in the pub...

Um and something I read in Science today about lateral gene transfer in bdelloid rotifers (http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/abstract/320/5880/1210). AMAGAD GENE STEALING!!!11

Little things gotta keep you going, right?
Why can't it be Mary-Kate Olsen? I know I am wrong in the head... I KNOW!
