I try to keep comments about religion and other mumbo-jumbo out of the Red Notebook, so why don’t I direct you to the latest post on my other weblog instead? I am rather pleased with the title: Shambhala lies: Dawkins tries mumbo-jumbo.

Reuters: Biologists record call of rare bird

The call of the rare Sumatran ground cuckoo, which was widely believed extinct until a decade ago, has been recorded for the first time, the New York-based Wildlife Conservation Society said on Monday.

OK, be honest now: hands up who thought Sumatran ground cuckoo was a cooking ingredient.

Ouch!

If there are any physics graduates reading this, you (and only you) will probably appreciate one of the cleverest puns I’ve made in my life.
