Sitting watching flowers in the rain

Anything out there?
Seti has picked up a promising signal in its hunt for aliens. Meanwhile, other scientists have suggested it would be far simpler to stick a message in a spacecraft and and send it on its way.
Ooops
The Royal Navy’s most embarassing loss has been found upright on the seabed off the Lebanon coast.
Jumping the queue
I should have done this yesterday.
Buzzcomix has reset it’s counter for the start of the month, meaning that my one vote this morning has lifted Deputised Experts 400 or so places. Cast your votes now and see how far up the list I can get.
I don’t know when TWC is going to reset its counter, but if you can vote there as well. Cheers.
Holy blowjobs Batman
Super sex discussed. Just don’t click on the “Wertham was right” link.

Eye of Newt
My Great Grandmother was a witch, so I’m told. A little of the power has passed down the generations, but I only get first sight and second thoughts occasionally (see Wee Free Men for reference). Today I got myself a familiar. I was going to call him George,but I’m sure familiars should have more exotic names.
Percy, as I’ve now christened him (whaddaya mean that’s not exotic?) is a strange little creature. When I hover my finger over him, he’ll sit up and wave his front legs in the air. I tried to video him doing this, but he was having none of it. After I’d harassed him, he decided he was going to explore. Both videos are 3gp and should play in Quicktime.
Percy is currently sitting on a tub behind the speaker, but I think I’m going to set him free before people come round planning to throw me into the mill pond.
Desert Rose
