"How is it that hardly any major religion has looked at science and concluded, 'This is better than we thought! The Universe is much bigger than our prophets said, grander, more subtle, more elegant. God must be even greater than we dreamed'? Instead they say, 'No, no, no! My god is a little god, and I want him to stay that way.'" - Carl Sagan

English isn't much of a language for swearing. When I studied Ancient Greek I was delighted to discover a single word - Rhaphanidosthai - which translates roughly as "Be thou thrust up the fundament with a radish for adultery."

My mom had a crush on him for at least 60 years. Hope she meets him at the volcano.

Tony Nicklinson, 58, 'natural causes'.
So it's alright for him to choose to die by starvation and withdrawal of treatment, but he is not allowed to choose to die without pain and with a bit of dignity?
Tony Nicklinson, a man with locked-in syndrome who fought for the right to legally end his life, has died. The 58-year-old was paralysed from the neck down after suffering a stroke in 2005 and described his life as a "living nightmare".
Last week Mr Nicklinson, from Melksham, Wiltshire, lost his High Court case to allow doctors to end his life. Mr Nicklinson's family solicitor said that he had refused food from last week. Lawyers for another man, 47, who lost his High Court case alongside Mr Nickinson, are to appeal against the decision.
Saimo Chahal, the family's solicitor: ''He was gutsy, determined and a fighter to the end.'' They said it denied their client "the opportunity to take the necessary steps to end his own life".
Mr Nicklinson's family solicitor Saimo Chahal said he died at home at about 10:00 BST accompanied by his wife, Jane, and two daughters, Lauren and Beth. She said: "Jane told me that Tony went rapidly downhill over last weekend, having contracted pneumonia."
So it's alright for him to choose to die by starvation and withdrawal of treatment, but he is not allowed to choose to die without pain and with a bit of dignity?

All of a sudden I regret that picture.
Neil Armstrong, first man to walk on the Moon, 82.
What Armstrong did was the culmination of the greatest project this planet has ever undertaken. That's why I *do* want to live here.

We (the quiz team) winked at the moon in honour of Neil on Tuesday night.
The smoke wafted gently in the breeze across the poop deck and all seemed right in the world.
