Go ahead and try to have a bad attitude after meeting Milan. He's my happiness monster. Eats up stress and spits it out with a smile. - Robert Scoble from Bookmarklet

Is that your quote Su, it's great :) - arrowsathome@aol.com

Yes- a bit off the cuff - I blame the person who was rude, can't remember who though! Thanks for the compliment :) - Su Butcher

Not for everyone but if you're responsible for marketing... - Jeremy Dent

I thought she was very brave, I don't know if I would cope as well as the writer. It's a very good read. - arrowsathome@aol.com

Me too--TWiT, NPR & Rev3 provide the bulk of the podcasts I take in. - Joe Knapp

@Leo - Here it is - you act as a semi-passive facilitator for the views of your guests and hosts. That means you don't really act as the cross pollinator and sometimes foil I want you to be. It seems you will join in a pile on of some rumor or least favored child long after even you have admitted in another show you don't see why it / they get a bad rap. It makes you a great facillitator, but it makes me crazy sometimes :) - Soulhuntre

In the US, the EPA have been making big inroads into reducing the danger. A tough task considering most areas of the US and the Uk are urbanised so diesel fumes are in every breath we take. As much as 25% of the breath we take in highly urbanised areas, more if there is a port nearby and the diesel fumes from the ships engines are in the air. - Sally Church from Bookmarklet

I was reading through the research as I wrote it, it was very interesting. I felt like going out with a face mask (the air purifying kind) today. Thanks for highlighting this Sally. - arrowsathome@aol.com

"Here’s how Texas solved the problem of highway litter. They did some research and found that the biggest culprits were 18- to 35-year-old males who drove pick-up trucks and liked sports and country music. The threat of penalty fines didn’t work; nor did appeals to the young men’s sensitive natures about the harm done to local wildlife. So the Department of Transportation ran an advertising campaign that recruited Texas’s sporting and country-music heroes, from Lance Armstrong and Chuck Norris to Willie Nelson and Lyle Lovett. One advert had Mike Scott, the Houston Astros pitcher, pick up some litter and—using his famed split-fingered technique—hurl it at a roadside trash can. Cue massive explosion, followed by the catchphrase, “Don’t mess with Texas”. As Chip and Dan Heath write in "Made to Stick”, a book about communicating ideas, the ads avoided the negatives of guilt and shame in favour of the positives of pride and group identity. Within a year, roadside litter had dropped by 29%; within five years" - FFing Enigma (aka Tina) from Bookmarklet

yes, it was nicely done. - Mr. Gunn

"Scientists at the Ghosh lab at the Hauptman-Woodward Medical Research Institute (HWI) in Buffalo, New York have uncovered the molecular details of Aromatase, the key enzyme required for the body to make estrogen." - Sally Church

"So sad that Stonehenge wasn't renovated and remade as a millenium project. The KLF were right. In other news, it has been confirmed that the pyramids were an early attempt at space travel (by moving in several directions at once)." - Julian Bond

I find this explanation a bit questionable, because setting up these stones is a lot of grunt work just to experiment with sound technology. I prefer the explanation that it was, in effect, a clock that let people predict certain seasonal events. And venue for accompanying ceremonies. - Jerome

I find an explanation that Stonehenge was a concert-party-rave venue in ancient times entirely believable. - Julian Bond
