The Mouldy Soup picture is up as usual.

And a study to be published shortly suggests that America is far more vunerable to biological attacks than nuclear weapon disaster [news.bbc.co.uk]. It outlines lots of terror weaknesses. Interesting. I wonder who gets the details of the report….

Decisions have been made, in particular, that Diane Pretty will not have the right to assisted suicide [news.bbc.co.uk], or rather, that her husband will not be imune to prosecution should he help her to die.

This does seem rather to fly in the face of the verdict a month ago where another lady was allowed to not have treatment.

Still. The decisions are made.

Ruling must be a strange thing. There is a lot of power associated with ruling. To help with that, some countries have split the ruling up between a larger group of people. I suppose there must be an optimum number of people that could share the rule. I wonder if any country currently has this. I doubt it.

Another ruling today is the European Court of Human Rights’ ruling over Diane Pretty’s right to assissted suicide [news.bbc.co.uk]. This could be a large event if it goes in her favour. Whether any precedent would apply over other cases I don’t know, but it would certainly be interesting. The ethical debate pro and con will of course blaze on.

Also, we Brits work too hard [news.bbc.co.uk]. Europe is attempting to get us to come into line properly for the 48hr week.

Mmm, 48 hr week.

Blog entry, another win for M Schumacher at the Spanish Grand Prix [news.bbc.co.uk]. Button, who was doing fairl well, was forced out with car problems, whilst Coulthard fixed his first podium of the season, finishing in third place behind Montoya.

Good Morning everyone. Today I bring you news that Microsoft may be interested in bidding for (part of) ITV Digital [news.bbc.co.uk]. I’m not sure how much of this is pure speculation. Microsoft have previously bought bits of cable TV networks.

Odd proposals which probably wont get anywhere but I think could be a good plan, are that parent’s of tearaway children could have their benefits taken off them [news.bbc.co.uk]. Of course there are any number of flaws in that plan that could prevent it from working as intended.

Do *not* click on this multi-coloured site [mrtn-03.com] if you are in any way prone to fits, etc. from looking at bright fast changing colours. If, however, you remember 80s games on your PC, go take a look (My bet is that you don’t stay amazingly long though.)

Lastly, you could click and watch Mr Nice dance [csh.rit.edu]. It’s probably something wrote to test their flash skills and it somehow got found on the Internet. Hehe.
