LARS THOMAS WRITES
I've recently had a little run-in with Mother Nature, or perhaps the weather service; I don't know. The end result was that a couple of boxes of books temporarily moved to another location because of renovations of book shelves and other forms of life support found themselves in an environment with a far greater moisture content than one would usually recommend for books. i.e. they got wet. Most of the destroyed stuff were of minor importance apart from my nine volumes of The Birds of The Western Palearctic also knows as The Birds of Europe, The Middle East and North Africa. They were fit for papier mache and nothing more. Currently I do not have the money to buy a completely new set so I am trying for old and used ones. I have managed to track down a copy of volume two but does anybody out there have any volumes of said tome they would be willing to sell for a reasonable price?

It looks a lot like the hoverfly, Helophilus pendulus.

OLL LEWIS: Yesterday's News Today
http://cryptozoologynews.blogspot.com/
Apologies for no YNT yesterday, but as you might have known or guessed, Blogger has been down for more than 24 hours across the board. Don't worry, though; you didn't miss too much as my planned 'on this day' was only the great comet of 1861 being spotted for the first time (this happened in 1861 in case you were wondering, hence the name, obviously).
On this day in 1973 Skylab, the U.S.A.'s first space station, was launched.
And now the news:
Jupiter moon 'holds magma ocean'
Wikileaks shows Arctic 'carve up'
A bit of Dan Le Sac Vs Scroobius Pip for you today (yes there is a link to the last story in there you just have to listen closely):
