Carl Sagan

"From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of any particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here. That's home. That's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

Science: Hmmm that's odd!

Don't you just love new information?

Three cheers for boffins everywhere.

"Boffins" is not gender specific I trust.

The harder you whack the dead horse.

The greater the stink from the carcass!

Nice video

I haven't seen British workers go at such a pace since 1966, when the night shift were keen to get home to watch the World Cup final.

PS: Yes I know they are Boeing workers. But the joke wouldn't work otherwise. I'm sure many would say it doesn't work at all.

An undocumented feature!

As it is in life

The "Us and Them", "Rich and Poor", "Broadband and Fraudband" situations prevail.

Because

What could go wrong?

Malcolm invented the Internet, doncha know?

Sounds about right

If it involves Gruppenführer Morrison, you know it's unfair and heartless.

The truth is out there

Love this science!

Weather on Pluto?

And I'll bet it still beats an English summer!

"nerdy Muslim teen"

I much prefer just: "nerdy teen".

I know, in this case, religion may have played a factor.

But FFS, kids are neither religious or not religious.

Stop branding kids with their parent's belief system.

If he wants to identify as X religion later in life, good luck to him.

He would have got away with it too

He just balked at the 5 pound transfer fee.

Abbott and Turnbull

Same shit, different shovel.

No all-fibre NBN for you, and you, and you!

10 Mbps - impossible !!!

Sir,

I find your assertion that download speeds of 10 Mbps are even possible.

Outrageous.

Here in the colonies, we are less concerned about speed and more interested in the vibe.

Oh, and what Rupert says.
