Rainbow
"Red sky at night/sailor's delight/Red sky in the morning/sailor take warning"
Can't remember the rhyme for rainbow. Maybe it was this:
Up above the streets and houses,
Rainbow climbing high,
Everyone can see it smiling
Over the sky.
Paint the whole world with a rainbow.
Or maybe it was: "pete gets soaked walking to work"
The US Defense Department is to hold a Q and A session on a $1 million contest to build a lightweight, wearable battery power system for US forces. Wage war and save the environment. Cool.
Make cities mobile: Severing car dependency
More silly environmental news: Surfers fear smaller swell as Atlantic wave farm approved. Tough.

Non, je ne regrette rien
Virtual Unreality: WWF (not that WWF) on Second Life:
"Pack your virtual suitcase and head for Conservation Island, a place where an orangutan will sell you an ice cream and a floating panda will be your friend."
Plate tectonics: Manchester hit by sixth earthquake in a month.
Health News: Drug addled elephant in rehab.
Light bulb update: "European consumers will probably have to wait another year before they see the prices of energy-saving light bulbs fall, following a Commission decision to extend anti-dumping duties on imports from China rather than scrap them immediately."
Arsenal bought by the Russian mafia.
On the radio: y'know, the theme from 2001.
Culture night per la famiglia "donut": un film.

Turn your fucking lights off
On 21 June. Why leave it to London?
Unplug chargers, TVs, computers, electric toothbrushes. Turn off the internet too.
Whilst we're at it, tell Tony Blair to shove nuclear power where the sun don't shine.
