Back from the brink...

Today, since my entire body feels as if it has been surgically removed and replaced with a box of horse shit I thought I'd save the world of internet surfing for all you lovely folk.

Here are some interesting links for you to check out:

Is modern life rubbish? A new study concludes that "Schizophrenia is more common in developed countries than poorer nations". (Cue poor Schizophrenia joke of your choice here, no there, no here... and so on.)

Are Earth's Mass Extinctions caused by the evolution of 'Super Predators'? 26 million years is all it takes for nature to mutate one, Polish research suggests. Fascinating stuff, but is it about time we admit that Humans are the current Super Predators? I'll leave that one up to you...

And following from 'The Stiff Drinking Re-contracting JET Conference 2005' here's a link to a piece on Japanese hangover remedies. GO EAT THE UMEBOSHI!

Photos of my week away to come real soon (Note: no umeboshi was consumed in the making of the 2005 JET Re-contracting Conference)
