DALE WRITES: Frontiers of Anthropology

I have added a selection of links concerning the debate about a giant meteorite impact and the mass extinctions to the FOA blog:

Continuing the discussion of the Catastrophe model posted earlier and including more evidence of the same.

The crystal skull blog entry is due next but I need to do some paste-up art for that one.

Best Wishes, Dale D.

CFZ PEOPLE: Happy Birthday David

David Braund-Phillips, my beloved nephew, and heir to this bloody stupid circus (pictured here with Col. John Blashford-Snell, and some fat hippy in a Crass T Shirt) is 19 today. Happy Birthday, my dear fellow.

On this day in 1874 the escapologist and debunker of fraudulent mediums, Harry Houdini, was born.

Edinburgh Haymarket ferret 'took London train'

The sport of ferret-legging is supposedly a great British tradition; however, the only videos I can find of it are of American's participating in a pale imitation of it. Apparently in the British rules you are not allowed to wear underpants and the trousers are usually white to show the blood from the ferrets bites. Here's a video of the American version of the sport:

CFZ PEOPLE: Happy Birthday Shosh

When I got married for the second time in 2007, one thing worried me. I had just - at the age of 48 - become a stepfather, twice over. I had heard all sorts of horror stories from friends of mine in similar situations, who found that their new stepchildren resented them, and in extreme cases did their best to jeopardise things between their mama and this unwanted new husband of hers.

I needn't have worried: both girls accepted me, and I love them both very much. Indeed, my relationship with them, especially those moments when I get to do daddy stuff, are two of the things in my life which I most prize.

And today, the eldest, Shoshannah (familiar to one and all from various Weird Weekends) is 26. Happy Birthday, my darling girl....
