    With the weather warming up (well, it will soon once this snow passes through) I went for a wander around a small coarse fishing lake, just around the corner from my house. It’s next to the road, so it’s not very quiet, it’s small, weedy and clear. There are some double-figure carp in there though…

    People suck. I had a short cycle on the road today, on my way home from work. Just 200m or so from the gates at work to the cycle path. Believe it or not, that was almost enough to get me knocked off my bike. Impressive, eh? In that short distance on a dual carriageway…

    Warning, Lost spoilers below! This is probably old news to most of you, but I’ve been getting into the TV series Lost recently. If you’ve watched it you’ll know that it’s not just a series about people stranded on a desert island, but that it’s about a bunch of people stranded on a very, very…

    This is a great study published in Hormones & Behaviour: when looking for a mate, women are more likely to go for deep, gravelly voiced men like Barry White. But we all new Barry White was the man, right? Deep, masculine, dominant voices have long been thought linked to high levels of testosterone, higher reproductive…
