BEES POLLINATE all the trees and flowers and make honey for us, and they get it all done during the hours of daylight. Butterflies, on the other hand, do nothing all day, and they even have moths to cover the night shift. It’s easy to see who’s taking the piss in this set-up.

I RECENTLY read a story in the Daily Mail which suggested that the technology may soon exist to condemn prisoners to sentences of thousands of years or more, using drugs to slow their perception of time, or by transferring their consciousness to a virtual reality prison.
