no doom or gloom

In honour of the fine weather, a couple of nice stories selected from the BBC for a change:

Looks like the Great Bustard is coming back to England, but it would have been nice if they’d not mentioned how it was hunted to extinction due to it’s “delicious and succulent meat”.

Animal testing is down, which is fantastic news. I don’t expect it to stop completely, but I’m glad to see alternatives being used. Not keen on the use of genetically modifed animals of course, as the complexity of genetics means messing with them could make the results even more skewed than they already are. A mouse is not a human and its systems work quite dramatically differently.

And a bus shelter in Wales gets a secret makeover. How sweet is that? Odd choice of wording in the article though. How do you “carpet a floor with shelves”?

And finally, the latest Millionaire’s Quiz. I would have won ?32,000 had I played, but managed to get 13 out of 15 correct. Bloody Welsh. ;-)
