Harry I had a really weird dream last night that you had this apartment in some docklands type place, like, right on the water, and a huge blue whale was splashing in the river and then smashed right into your window and me and liz and bill weren't in the way, but you were a bit to close to your swanky floor to ceiling windows, and a big shard of glass went right through your leg, so I had to dial 000 for the police, the firemen, the ambulance and the coastguard. And then purdey sneezed and I woke up. It was very exciting though.

Other wildlife news: did anyone hear that siegfried or roy (can't remember which one's which) was mauled by one of his own tigers?

AND the catholic church is telling everyone that condoms don't stop the spread of AIDS - can't be bothered to link, it's all over the news, so you should have seen it anyway.

AND, got this via an email so, again, no link, but anti-gay preacher Fred Phelps has announced intentions to erect a monument to Matthew Shepard the gay college student brutally murdered five years ago near Laramie. But, the monument will be no memorial. Phelps says the monument would be 5 to 6 feet tall and made of marble or granite. It would bear a bronze plaque bearing the image of Shepard and have an inscription reading "MATTHEW SHEPARD, Entered Hell October 12, 1998, in Defiance of God's Warning: 'Thou shalt not lie with mankind as with womankind; it is abomination.' Leviticus 18:22."

What is WRONG with people?
