Thanks to Sky News Online for the Headline.

Well it turns out that being in space for a year causes your brain to change shape ” upward and backward within the skull”. The effect is replicated closely by those unfortunates on Earth who have had to have tilted bed rest for long periods, yes the brain slides backwards.

So gravity and amniotic fluid interact and the brain moves around and no one really knows what the long term effect will be. This has implications for Space Travel. It explains a lot about the behaviour on the Star Trek Enterprise.

Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏

Bit of a long headline, certainly not short and snappy like I imagine it’s subject to be. The creature is a Veined Octopus, now if the name  doesn’t give you nightmares my AI generated picture will.(see below)

The veined octopus walks on two legs and uses the other six as camouflage or to carry it’s home around, or if you are a fan of certain horror movies to wrap itself around you and suck your blood after squeezing you to within an inch of your life and using it’s razor sharp beak to tear lumps of flesh of your face.

Sorry I digress, this Octopus lives in the Molucca Sea of Indonesia, and is also known as the Coconut Octopus because it sometimes uses discarded coconut shells as it’s home. Perhaps it’s quite cute after all.

AI generated picture, the veined octopus is not scary and just gets on with it’s life.

A very altruistic statement from the German Finance Minister, the future of Greenland is up to Denmark and Greenland.

I’ve never really thought any different.

I thought America was part of N.A.T.O , so what makes them think that they can have Greenland as a prize.

If it’s all about minerals, then I think if you are willing to invade one of your own to gain commercial advantage then you are capable of doing much worse things. I think the whole World knows that .

Greenland is not for mining

Namaste and Thank You for Reading. 🙏

“Robin Hood , Robin Hood Riding through the glen” . Oh my I was taken aback when I heard that the Sheriff of Nottingham was repeating history and had to be investigated over questions raised over his conduct.

This time it’s a Labour Councillor who has taken on the title of Sheriff of Nottingham but is really there to promote Tourism to Nottingham.

Has he been demanding corn tithes from everyone and taking unfair advantage of their daughters if they failed to pay up .Or chopping peoples heads off for poaching or stealing deer.

No , there’s a possibility that he had his private car serviced at Land Rover Jaguar at the expense of the Council. The investigation is waiting on the paperwork to assess if this is true.

My how days have changed.
