Oh yes, P-clubbers, by way of the Seven Dials Directory I found out that Brighton has recently played host to this little beauty. I think my favorite is the Sideburns Freestyle catagory- howabout you...?

Well bugger me

Apparently, someone's been busy:

Craig Venter, the controversial DNA researcher involved in the race to decipher the human genetic code, has built a synthetic chromosome out of laboratory chemicals and is poised to announce the creation of the first new artificial life form on Earth. The announcement, which is expected within weeks and could come as early as Monday at the annual meeting of his scientific institute in San Diego, California, will herald a giant leap forward in the development of designer genomes.

-snip-

Mr Venter told the Guardian he thought this landmark would be "a very important philosophical step in the history of our species. We are going from reading our genetic code to the ability to write it. That gives us the hypothetical ability to do things never contemplated before".

Blimey! So many questions, I look forward to finding out more...

Oi! Your boy's a flopper 'e is....

What with all this talk of the impending England v Australia rugby deathgame, Chives thought it pertinent to remind ourselves that its a silly game. And how better to do this than hand over to the Simpsons who sing us a looky-song in the key of comedy, based loosely on the concept that is "Soccer". You'll need 8 precious minutes to view this, but surely worth the effort if only to see the now infamous Manchester United v Sussexton Hamptonshire 1985 rioting one more time before it recedes into the final recesses of the culture botty. 8 minutes well spent.



Goody-bye

Something on the air tonight...

A new comedy - Carpoolers - premiers tonight on ABC. The production team includes one of the writers from Kids in the Hall, and the Russo brothers (who directed a load episodes of Arrested Development). I'm not sure it'll live up to that billing, but since my mate Meredith's sister Allison is in it, I think it might be worth checking out. Here's a teaser trailer:



If you're interested, here's a longer preview.
