The Moon

Yes, we like the Moon, but here's some info (starts quite simple)

RT:44m - but covers lots of stuff (including where to build a secret lair)

Sadly the video coverage doesn't shift to the speaker's presentation :(

Break-downs available (e.g. R/T: 4m)

Peanut Stealing Cat

Cat people and dog people are always arguing about which species is smarter.

I think this video makes the answer pretty obvious.

This cat is an idiot! Doesn't he realize that peanuts have hardly any nutritional value to cats? It's almost like he doesn't even know that his instestines are too short to digest it.

Reading Test

"Have you heard about the theory that the brain can make sense of a passage of text with the letters all jumbled up? This works as long as the first and last letters are in place.

On this website you can read the classic bit of text that describes the theory. You have probably seen it as a viral, as I think this one did the rounds a year or so ago.

Well, now some clever spark has created an engine where you can test out the theory on any site you like. Just plug the URL in the box provided and see how it works.

Happy Birthday Skinflaps! - We bought you a present...

The first thing we thought of was a bit too big to wrap... The next one was small enough, but was just past its "Sell By" date

and the next one couldn't hold a tune...

 

But eventually, we got just the right thing...

HAPPY

BIRTHDAY
