Forzie, a chicken with four legs and (less obviously) two bums, has died at the age of one month. The Reg reports, as only The Reg can, that the “extra anus has been fingered as the cause of his demise.” (0 comments)
You may have seen these new speed cameras which check your average speed over a distance by reading your number plate at the start and end of the length of road they’re covering. But in the UK, it seems that they can’t issue you with a speeding ticket if you start in one lane and end in another. Interestingly, it’s nothing to do with the technology, but rather because the system has only been government-tested for single-lane roads. So, in effect, the evidence is only legally binding if each lane is treated as a separate road. (0 comments)
And I suppose if I don’t use this stuff, it’ll just go to waste.

Keith Richards may get a £50 fine for smoking during the Stones gig in Glasgow last Friday. Fifty whole British pounds?! That’ll teach him. (0 comments)
This new logo is embarrassingly naff. Look at all the gradients! And why is that central circle off to the right like that?

It all becomes clear! They are obviously trying to communicate that they are an all-knowing, yet transparent advisor, with a strong emphasis on security (notice the thick perimeter wall around Mr Advisor), who are becoming increasingly friendly with their (yellow) franchisees, but without leaving the important (red!) processing part of their business out in the cold. Or something.
