Moonstone Graphic Novel of The Saint Coming July 2012 – The Saint News
The Robin Hood of modern crime returns!
He robs from the evil and heartless rich, and gives to the wronged and deserving poor–in the process, keeping a percentage for his own expenses. He doesn’t work for the law, the government, or anyone else. He is a lone wolf…an adventurer, a detective, a rogue, but always…a gentleman!
In “The Sizzling Saboteur” – The Saint travels to Texas in pursuit of a man who has been sabotaging weapons factories, but when his quarry turns up burned to crisp, he has to contend with both the local police, a trio of mysterious men behind the sabotage, and a beautiful Russian.

The World’s Most Valuable Missing Works of Art – ABC News
While the art industry celebrates the return of the stolen Cezanne masterpiece “Boy in a Red Waistcoat,” recovered this week in Serbia, thousands of other famous stolen works of art continue to be traded on the black market or collect dust in storage.
According to the Art Loss Register, an international index of stolen works, there are 350,000 stolen works of art in the world. Once thieves realize they can’t sell the paintings at auction or get paid a ransom fee without getting caught, many try to obtain cash or collaterall illegally, said Chris Marinello, general counsel for the Register.

I saw this driving around yesterday and was mightily impressed. When I spotted it parked up this afternoon I just had to grab a photo.
I recently moved to the eastern side of Manchester, and have found myself in Ashton quite often in the last few months. The town has some interesting buildings and has rekindled my interest in taking photos of architecture.
The day I chose to take my first wander had one of those Mancunian overcasts where my camera registers the sky as a featureless pale grey. So no brooding clouds behind any of the buildings in this set. Sorry.
You can see the full Ashton Under Lyne architectural wander set on Flickr.

Sunday Sacrilege: Bad without god | Pharyngula
I don’t want to be reassuring to people whose awful bogosity I oppose. I want to provoke and challenge, I want to change the status quo, I want to tear down the gooey conventionality of morality and narrow standards of public behavior. I want us all to mock and laugh at public professions of piety. I want to change how people think, and I want people to reject the absurd claim that our morality is founded on an odious holy book.

Take one knackered faux 30s radio, rip out the broken innards and nail to a board then a tree. Instant eccentric bird box.
Now to see if any of the local avians are eccentric enough to live in it.

Great books, originally uploaded by spinneyhead.
I swear this is how I found them. I guess whoever packed this box of books had a sense of humour.
