Phat

 I really, really want an Easy Rider style bike. Maybe I could make my own carbon fibre one.

Same shop as all the dummies, different window. There's something sad about a window full of empty stands and racks, even if you know that's what's being sold.

You can probably dog for profit, but no thanks

 More people in the UK know about dogging than blogging. Actually, that gives me an idea. I wonder if there's a dogging blog......

Research conducted among taxi drivers, hairdressers and pub landlords - backed up by conventional market research - has found that seven out of 10 people don't know what a blog is. Nine out of 10 don't know what podcasting or flashmobbing are.

Four out of 10 know what dogging is, perhaps due to the activities of certain celebrities. Only 49% of people know what a chav is, despite the widespread coverage they have received in both tabloid and broadsheet papers.

Nearly nine out of 10 people now know what broadband is, however.

Going all Nemo

 Japanese scientists have released the first ever pictures of a live giant squid. It didn't attack their submarine, but did lose a tentacle after being caught on a baited hook.

Robot Crusoe

 A robotic treasure hunter has found the haul of the century on Robinson Crusoe Island- named for the book that was inspired by the story of a sailor stranded there.

According to legend, a fabulous treasure haul was buried on the island in 1715 by Spanish sailor Juan Esteban Ubilla-Echeverria. The bounty is said to have been discovered a few years later by British sailor Cornelius Webb, who reburied it on another part of the island.

By some estimates the haul would include 800 barrels of gold ingots, silver pieces, gems and other riches worth up to $10 billion.
