"An exploding star in a galaxy far from Earth should be visible from Britain soon after twilight this evening. Amateur astronomers will be able to observe the flicker of light from its violent death throes through a good pair of binoculars or a telescope, clear skies permitting." Hmm, "clear...

First the sinking of the Cheonan... ...and now this: two SK marines killed as NK shells island base. To say nothing of the North's nuclear tests in 2006 and again last year. Is anyone here watching NK in any detail? I just can't see how any of this is in the North's strategic interest, I mean...

Can anyone recommend some decent crime/detective fiction for my dad? It's his birthday coming up and I want to get him something entertaining and well-written, i.e. hopefully a cut above the dreck you see advertised in tube stations, but not too abstruse, weird and, um, Dissensus-ish. Not Lynda...

Yo mama so fat, when she stands in front of something you can see it twice. Yo mama so slutty, she was born pregnant. Yo mama so ugly, she gave Hans Giger nightmares. Yo mama so scary, Cthulhu's actually just waiting until he's sure she's gone away. Your turn.

If you were* a pagan aristocrat, what items would you want burried with you in your barrow or immolated in your longship to accompany you into the next life? Food and drink items, books, music, favourite clothes, whatever. I'd probaby start with the drinks - a really good bottle of single malt...

In no particular order (although I'm especially fond of the last one): Part 1 1. Japanese hornets They're two inches long and have a three-inch wingspan. They can fly at 25 mph and cover 60 miles in a day. Each year in Japan alone, they cause more human deaths than all other wild animals...

Awesomeness ensues: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/us_and_canada/10211165.stm (sorry, no idea how to embed videos from the beeb news site) Damn, how much would I love to see one of these bastards in real life? Amazing.

I've been talking to woops, who knows some worthwhile boozers around New Cross, and we concluded that it's high time somewhere outside the Dalston/Stokey/Hackney 'golden triangle' played host to a Dissensus pub trip. Especially now the old East London line has reopened as part of the Overground...

Happy Saint George's day, everyone! But don't feel too special; George is the patron saint not only of England but also of "Aragon, Catalonia, Ethiopia, Georgia, Greece, Lithuania, Palestine, Portugal, and Russia, as well as the cities of Amersfoort, Beirut, Fakiha, Bteghrine, Cáceres (Spain)...

Well it's Friday (nearly), which means it's time for...the Dissensus Celebrity Look-a-like Round-up! In the spirit of Private Eye, I give you - Sol Campbell: and one of those big heads on Easter Island: and Radovan Karadzic: and Father Ted Crilly: Over to you...

Who has (or had) the best voice? I mean their regular speaking voice, not singing/rapping etc. I had a really long, interesting dream last night (which I can't remember at all now, it goes without saying) that involved William Burroughs. Pleasingly, he spoke in my dream exactly as he did in...

Arguably it's profoundly irrational for me to be posting shit on the internet when I should be asleep. But be that as it may... Zhao's whole argument in the 'mystery' thread seems to hinge on the idea that there are two fundamentally different worldviews; two different ways of seeing things, of...

Well the nights are drawing in, it's getting chillier by the day and cold (or even cool) beers don't have quite the same appeal they did a few months ago. So what warm boozy tipples do you recommend? I can only think of a few: mulled wine, obviously; Irish coffee; and that one where you warm up...

This should be a total monster, the last one was immense. And Robotnik at the NYE Wang was just about the most entertaining DJ I think I've ever seen. :) Happy Thursday BALANCE-ers After the huge roadblock that was the launch party for BALANCE at the end of May, with amazing sets from AUX88...

Heh, had you going there for a sec, didn't I? :cool:
