- Isle of Wight model triceratops left in middle of high street – BBC News
"It takes about five blokes to move the dinosaur a couple of inches, so it was definitely a concerted effort and drink was probably involved".

Useful for me, and for work. Not so useful for normal people.
- Alexa, Unlock the Internet
I use Siri a bit, but voice controlled computing feels like the web in 1996: weird to use now, and not properly joined up, but clearly going to be huge. But: always-on listening devices creep me out.

- Michael Buble Being Stalked By A Velociraptor
I'm not entirely sure who this Michael Buble character is – I think he's some kind of pop star of the sort I probably won't enjoy very much – but he has sailed so completely under my radar that I suspect I am even more out of touch then previously thought. However, here he is being staked a velociraptor. Velociraptors make everything better.

- Homeopathy: There's nothing in it | The 10:23 Campaign
Just in case anyone reading this has been dropped on their head recently, here's a campaign aiming to raise awareness of the quackery of homeopathy masquerading of "complementary" medicine.

I all for holistic treatments, and accepting the western medical science does not yet have all the answers, but I also believe it's vital to know where the lines between "we don't know why it works", "we're not sure if it works" and "we *know* it doesn't work" are drawn.
