I've just been reading through a few weeks of backlogged e-mails, and found this in the rather excellent The Friday Thing mailout from last week -

FIVE THINGS WE'D DO - INSTEAD OF RECLASSIFYING PLUTO - IF *WE* WERE IN CHARGE OF SCIENCE

1. Cure the obesity epidemic at a stroke by making cows out of lettuce.


2. Disappoint easily-shocked, weather-obsessed Brits by making it consistantly hot in summer, and cold in Winter. And have exactly the same number of hours of daylight, 365 days a year.


3. Reclassify men as being from Venus, and women from Mars.


4. Fuck with astrologists even more by upgrading the moon to a planet, turning Uranus into a star, carving the moon into a giant owl and finally downgrading astrology from 'probably bollocks but it makes a large number of fucking morons feel better about their inability to choose their own destiny' to 'just total bollocks'.


5. Cure cancer.

Seems good to me!
