Strange news on (sort of) Thursday

A bit late again, but there is only going to be a little intermittent lunchtime blogging at the moment as the monitor at home blinked it's little green eye for the last time last weekend, then went to the big internet cafe in the sky. We're sorting out a replacement soon.

I found this scary tale in The Times. Now I'm really not keen on spiders, and I was struck by the fact that the beastie bit him when he picked it up. Picked it up??!! What, instead of running around screaming, or maybe aiming a handy flame thrower at it?!

More site referral excitement. Somebody tried to find a "commission to pardon witches in The Czech Republic". I'm quite interested to find out if there is one now!
