October 2007

1. Italian horses: Master-class model building. Specialises in miniature Ferrari.
2. Batman goofiness: Ho, ho. Images of Adam West Batman with quotes from Frank Miller’s nightmarish Dark Knight Returns. Hilarious.

16. Abortion in Britain.
17. On belief systems: “Hey, hey, hey, kid. Respect other people and their belief systems.” Let me look up ‘belief system’…Cultural norms that convey core values and encourage individuals to seek new opportunities and work toward a common purpose (from here: www.mw-zander.com/hld-home-glossary/hld-glossary-facilityman agement-b.htm).
