    Well, I think we’re showing fairly conclusively that the Big Bang Theory is correct. The Hooniverse really did start with a Big Bang, and seems to be expanding at an exponential rate. And to be perfectly honest, I don’t think any of us has the slightest idea what to do with it. So, blindly fumbling…

    Our beloved Jo Schmo has sent in a link to an Italian motoring blog — or… something, my Italian language skills are right up there with my Russian and Japanese — that featured this beautiful example of a hand-crafted children’s toy.

    I freely admit, I had never heard of Rosemary Smith until the incomparable Scroggs suggested her. Now, having done some research, I can’t imagine not doing a post about her!
