		<title>Moon, past and future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some spectacular photos of the moon and what might be on it in the not-to-distant future. You can see why people can argue that the shots are faked - they look like the worst kind of photoshopped montages in some respects.]]></description>

		<title>Al-Qaeda&#8217;s propaganda</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I haven&#8217;t seen much splash about Al-Qaeda recently - it seems that they are making waves, just not in the Western media. Very interesting that they have learned to be better at internet communications than their opponents (i.e. us).]]></description>

		<title>Anniversaries</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Some anniversaries we should bear in mind (they are not quite on the right days, though)

June 22nd - when Galileo had to recant the heliocentric model
July 1st - first reading of a composite paper on natural selection - neither Darwin or Wallace are present.

		<title>Compulsory voting</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Lords of the Blog comes up trumps in a well-argued discussion on compulsory voting. I&#8217;ve changed my mind from pro (as memorably expressed to John Sergeant at an event he was doing for us) to probably anti.

		<title>Copenhagen consensus</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The dismal science gets its hands on global issues. As the results suggest, the best bang-for-buck in a four-year period isn&#8217;t climate change. But the setup - $75bn over four years - must lead to shorter-termism, mustn&#8217;t it?]]></description>

		<title>Use gallons per mile</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We should push for this: miles per gallon is a poor indicator of fuel efficiency - it is so sensitive at the lower end (going from 18 to 28 mpg is better than going from 34 to 50 mpg). So how to start this happening everywhere?]]></description>
