For the Quizzers Amongst you
Here is a zone which seems to have a more than a passing resemblance to the quiz we do on a Tuesday night.
Notional Elf Surface
I don’t really have the bandwidth right now, but Johnny has found Super Elf Bowling.
W(TF)MD
Georgie’s looking in the wrong place. A Texas based white supremacist has been arrested after amassing a chemical weapons stockpile far in excess of everything yet found in Iraq.

God Damn
Unsurprisingly, Dubya’s faith is at odds with true Christianity.
if the terrorists hate freedom, why have they not attacked Canada, which in some respects is more democratic than the United States? Why is there not the same hatred for Switzerland, Holland or Costa Rica?
KG 200
The history of Kampfgeschwader (Battle Wing) 200 is still little known. It grew from an inter-war ‘civilian’ photoreconnaisance operation and went on to operate some of the Luftwaffe’s strangest aircraft.
And another essay on the subject.
Reitsch
A collection of references for sites about Hanna Reitsch, Nazi test pilot of such planes as the previously mentioned Reichenberg.
More V-1
An extensive history of the V-1. This is on the fiddlersgreen site, home of some fantastic card models.
Sparky the gay dog
I watched an interesting documentary yesterday called Out In Nature, which covered everything from promiscuous Bonobos to lesbian seabird couples.
The next time some idiot starts ranting about homosexuality being ‘unnatural’ point them in the direction of this programme.
More Wedding Photos
OldHacks has just had a minor update. In honour of Griffles and Sabs’ getting married, The photos are now Here. Just to be generous, I have updated the caption comp to, but I really have to find a better picture for the next one, probably not involving Ian. And a sheep.
