POPSIRA on the rampage So when is President Bush going to invade Ulster to assist it main ally? Lame Duck President, lame duck ideals, lame duck foreign policies. So which half-wit keeps telling us the war is over? Tony B'liar and his beneficiaries! So this is why they want 42 days detention, to stop people from talking about anything that might improve security. Watch out Britain. We are being suckered into doing something monumentally stupid...to accept what this Government says as truth.

POPS12 Weirdest Things Ever Insured Whiskey company Cutty Sark was offering a $1.5 million prize for capturing the mythical Scottish lake inhabitant, the Loch Ness Monster, alive. They then took out home insurance against paying this prize, just in case someone actually did capture it alive. During the 1930s, then 13 year old Harvey Lowe insured his hands for $150,000, which was a large sum of money at the time. Harvey was the Yo-Yo World Champion of that era, having been playing since he was 12. He is still yo-yoing and filling up his current account to this day.

POPSstone spheres I am such a sucker for stone spheres. It's like up there with animals and plants, I would absolutely love a fantastic large collection.

Let's see how it goes.

POPSOne more game has been won Go, played by placing stones on a uniform 19x19 grid, does not allow for that kind of shortcut. The strategy that's proved most effective for computer Go is the Monte Carlo method, in which possible moves are assembled in a tree structure, and given statistical weight based on how likely they are to lead to a win."
