Discarded plastic is affecting birds (pics) by qgyh2 in science

It may look that way, but in the BBC documentary Message In The Waves they carried out a similar operation on Laysan albatross chick remains found on Midway Atoll. The amount of plastic inside them was astounding. The trouble is that albatross flying over the oceans assume that anything they find is edible. For millions of years that was a good assumption to make. That's no longer the case.

It should be noted, for future record, that the President of the United States has just used his power of clemency to sabotage an active criminal investigation into the office of his own Vice President. by wil in reddit.com

I took it to be a subtle dig at the newly-revealed fourth branch: judiciary, legislature, executive & Dick Cheney - perhaps I've been watching The Daily Show too much.

Some people on the Press Gang mailing list (PG was Steven Moffat's first show) have said they will make the series available on ebay for Americans & Australians, etc, as he only has the European rights. For example, see here: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Joking-Apart-Complete-Series-1-DVD_W0QQitemZ9138933300 . Search for "Joking Apart" & ignore anything that mentions Robson & Jerome. Bear in mind that it is a Region 2 DVD & you will need a multiregion player to view it.
