Ambergris is not palm oil. ..... Ambergris - Used in perfumery ....if I lived near the coast of be looking for it with a trained dog. Or more likely the aromachem "ambroxian" these days which I hate. It's in nearly all new mainstream stuff.
 
Someone has found something on Moreambe beach recently. He is apparently waiting to find out if it is ambergris.

Earth's inner core, a hot iron ball the size of Pluto, has stopped spinning in the same direction as the rest of the planet and might even be rotating the other way, research suggested on Monday.
Eh?..

Nice that she thought her husband was “distinctive”.

You can get a length of wire and stick the opposite ends in the ground a few metres apart and get enough current to light a small bulb though. It's to do with the resistive difference between materials, they don't store electric like a battery, just allow a current to flow.

Does that still work though with the Earth's core having spinning problems?
 
T-1000 Terminator one step closer to reality.

AI'll be back! Shape-shifting Terminator style robot can melt and reform to pass through metal bars.
As well as being able to shape-shift, the engineers say their robots are magnetic and can also conduct electricity.
The robots were tested in obstacle courses of mobility and shape-morphing.

Yung Gravy sued by Rick Astley for ‘theft of voice’​


I'm guessing Mr Gravy didn't break into Rick Astley and steal his voicebox, though that would make about as much sense as the actual story...

I've just watched Mr Gravy's video so no one else has to .. picture someone who looks like Keith Lemon rapping about as well as the 80's tune 'Holiday Rap' with Rick Astley's voice sampled and the music to Never Gonna Give You Up looped throughout the whole tune. I'll be surprised if Rick Astley doesn't win this case. Plus it's shite.

Thanks for taking one for us, Swifty.

Most appreciated!

It's not all that bad, mainly because it is based on a great 80s song.
