Some rot, more rot, still more rot and is this rot or wot- Copernicus had blue eyes!

The day is breaking in, not silently like a burglar, but loudly, orchestrated with cawing and cuckooing- we can already see the Sun warming up: and here we are, snatching a precious fifteen minutes break to post at this blog:

This terrible news that is necessary for Pakistan to take on the Talibans:

According to a report by Ahmed Quraishi’s at the International Analyst Network, India has paid terrorist leader Baitullah Mehsud nearly $25 million to mount a spectacular attack on a major Pakistani nuclear site. Government officials have not confirmed this report however; there is speculation that it could be at least part of the reason for the stepped up effort to capture Mehsud and quickly end his reign of terror in the region.

We don't want to see the national secular media exhorting the Government to help out Pakistan in this.

We were made more unhappy when we read this:

Sumo bad boy Asashoryu, no stranger to public criticism, has been labelled "podgy" in a bizarre attack on the volatile Mongolian.

A popular former wrestler now working as a TV commentator accused Asashoryu of being flabby, even though his 150-kilogram frame is relatively small for the sport.

Talk about unfairness...

But not always:

Local authorities in Majorna, Sweden, must subsidize a 30-year-old impotent man's Viagra prescription, a court ruled.

The County Administrative Court ruled in favor of the man, who argued having sex is essential to a reasonable quality of life, The Local reported Saturday.

-UPI

Now the spokeswoman for the assistance program that has to pay out for Viagra asks, "How often should someone have Viagra? Is it once a week? Does that amount to a reasonable quality of life?"

Hmmm... I think 3.5 is the right number.

Moving over to science, they have identified Copernicus through DNA tests- he most likely had blue eyes, fair skin and light hair color. I think they took the DNA from a skull:

Despite missing the lower jaw, the skull provided additional clues that led to the identification of the remains. It belonged to a man who died at the age between the age of 60 and 70, and had suffered a broken nose. The skull also featured a cut mark above the left eye.
