CBSNews Jump The Gun A Little

Let me say straight away that I’m not a fan of football, but I keep an eye out for interesting things going on around the Internet. So when the well known news service site CBSNews publishes a news article with completely the wrong news and say that the Netherlands win the world cup I tend to sit up and take notice.

They have since corrected the mistake, but I am one of those people who tends to take screenshots of things like that, just in case…

Netherlands Win World Cup?

Working with websites all day I can see how this sort of thing can happen. Although I would say that CBSNews needs to give its users a little more training

This bit of news was, in fact, how I learned who had won the 2010 world cup. I didn’t watch the final, or indeed, any of the matches during the contest.

Sacred Reich - Heal

Take a look at this wicked album cover. Music is pretty cool as well.

Any idea what it is? I think it is a knee operation.

Wet Rabbit, Wet Rabbit

Today I finally got to cleaning the outside of the tent after our camping trip last week. After finishing I had this large wobbly bowl of dirty water, which I decided to pour over our wilting rhubarb plant.

However, when I poured the water out over the rhubarb this grey blob shot out from underneath and hid in the hedge.

Turns out that there was a rabbit hiding underneath it (now wet), and it must have been there since I had come outside about an hour before. I think we had better harvest the rhubarb before it is eaten up!
