To learn how cockroaches socialize, a research team from Free University of Brussels created tiny robots programmed to act like cockroaches, doused them with the proper pheromones, and set them free within crowds of cockroaches to see if they could influence behavior. While some of the robots coaxed real cockroaches to follow them into an unshaded area (away from a dark area that most normally prefer), nearly half of the robots, despite programming, fell under the "spell" of the real ones and headed for the darkness.

Probably fallout from the fact that in the new terminal at Heathrow, they weren't allowing people to check baggage. Problems with the baggage delivery system. Lots of flights canceled, people not getting there bags, etc..
Hmm reminds me of a Monty Python Song now that I think about it.
"I'm so worried about the baggage retrieval they've got at Heathrow"
Yeah, sooo... *yaaaaaawn*... I'm just killin' time in Honolulu. whatev'. Here's what I've gathered so far... From what I gather... this place is pretty much just like Newfoundland. Except HERE the pineapples don't taste nearly so much like potato or cod.
And what's with this whole heat thing? Something's wrong, man. This doesn't feel right. Where are the parkas? Where are the long johns? Where's the zamboni??
I totally forgot my birthday was coming up and that I'd be away at a fest during it, but my mother just came in from a trip to the bank and tossed me my present... $100, taken out entirely in fives, toonies and loonies, to seed my hat.
Just what do you do to in the entertainment world to get seeds in your hat ? If you balanced some crap on your face, I'd make sure you got a good spot in Key West right next to me, or maybe Silverman! Now that's being creative !!!!
