Unconventional News - 16/06/2012
It's a while since I've done this so thought I'd peruse the news again for some gems.
This is a fantastically useless way of using statistics, probability and mathematics to come up with a statistic that explains just why this world is as small as it seems at times:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-18459069
Big Brother much? Ban on the youth out at night (to be fair if it's a school night they should be in bed! - that's the teacher in me talking)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-north-west-wales-18469957
Another week, another dangerous tale of child in an international country. They seem to have a suicide pact!

Geeks at play. Can strategy games predict the future?
http://news.bbc.co.uk/today/hi/today/newsid_9728000/9728077.stm
Another gaming bit of news but something that sooo needs to happen! Cheaters v Cheaters!
http://www.techdirt.com/articles/20120615/13250219347/interesting-strategy-rockstar-games-to-dump-cheaters-into-game-where-they-only-play-other-cheaters.shtml
Only in Britain would the shopkeepers be classed as 'rude but helpful' and unfortunately only here would another quaint independent shop be turned into yet another Wetherspoons pub!

Some people know how to live up to the British stereotype:-
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-tyne-18141421
Facebook is not as popular as it seems:-
Sometimes people have far too much time on their hands creating an encyclopedia of locked room murders, however, it is rather interesting...
Proof that Eurovision is nothing but a political game of chess. Should we supporting a country that doesn't allow freedom of speech in such a trivial thing as a song contest?:-
It's a sad day for British pop music as we lose another treasure:-

Wow, art never fails to surprise at times. This would be so beautiful to watch, even if I can't help but think of Being John Malkovitch.

Whilst I disagree that freedom of speech is becoming less and less apparent, I believe this is completely in the right.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17784229
So it's alright for hundreds of art works depicting the sinking of the Titanic to be sold worldwide but this is frowned upon?

I love that to make money you must spend money. However, not looking forward to being in contact with these coins if it's true!

In the 1800's the Luddite's formed in the belief that machinery would cut jobs. Guess they'd be turning in their graves what with self-serving tills and the technology of the 21st Century.

This man is clearly a Legend... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-scotland-17375494
Not entirely sure what they were getting at by advertising all the deaths that's happened on London transport...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-london-16813490
Also Not sure whether King's Cross or Millennium Dome or Giant Greenhouse...
More on transport...
Do we really want WiFi on the Underground?! Is it even a long enough journey to warrant it?! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/technology-17373523
The Derek of the roughing it world? ... http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-17364327
Motels are the new wild apparently!

The Unconventional News - 10th March 2012
I thought I might post these on here as well as my usual Twitter ones.
These are news clips I've found on the internet which I find particularly interesting for whatever reason.
So here's today's round up.
6. Pointless scare mongering for billions of years time...http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/8094088.stm
5. Seriously http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-17308181 literally anything we eat/drink/come into contact with 'gives us cancer'. Dudes the ground we walk in does that to a higher degree...
4. Earth Science yet again shows how much it knows about it's own subject... http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/sci/tech/8009492.stm
3. The expert accidently dresses in his subject...http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/science-environment-17324826
2. Arrested by deducing speed from distance travelled and time elapsed on his own YouTube Video = Doh! http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-asia-17324146
1. Facebook continues to destroy people's lies *cough* I mean lives :p http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-17323095
