Did you know that Amazon used to offer a lawn mowing service using goats?
Honest!
They would deliver a couple of goats to your property and pick them up later.
Free fertiliser and irrigation as part of the bargain!

(Don't cats have nine lives?)
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

ScienceMag.org, October, 6: "Humans aren’t the only great apes that can ‘read minds’"
Millions of obese couch-potatoes, posing as people, will fall asleep surfing redacted and FaceBook and Twitter tonight taking comfort from the fact that Science has found that other primates are aware when others are operating with "false beliefs."
Chimps, Orangs, and Bonobos, finally are recognized as equal to sub-humans like the Kardashians who have killer instincts for when someone else doesn't know they are between a Kardashian and a camera.
Of course, it's little comfort to we walking-erect big-headed critters viewing life through a gauze of intoxication from hormones, and through the glass of the webs of language darkly ... that there is no proof that our primate brethren and sistren are ever as disturbingly untroubled as we are by our unawareness of how unaware we are: [^].Quote: All great mind reading begins with chocolate. That’s the basis for a classic experiment that tests whether children have something called theory of mind—the ability to attribute desires, intentions, and knowledge to others. When they see someone hide a chocolate bar in a box, then leave the room while a second person sneaks in and hides it elsewhere, they have to guess where the first person will look for the bar. If they guess “in the original box,” they pass the test, and show they understand what’s going on in the first person’s mind—even when it doesn’t match reality.
For years, only humans were thought to have this key cognitive skill of attributing “false belief,” which is believed to underlie deception, empathy, teaching, and perhaps even language. But three species of great apes—chimpanzees, bonobos, and orangutans—also know when someone holds a false belief, according to a new study published today in Science. The groundbreaking study suggests that this skill likely can be traced back to the last common ancestor of great apes and humans, and may be found in other species.
«There is a spectrum, from "clearly desirable behaviour," to "possibly dodgy behavior that still makes some sense," to "clearly undesirable behavior." We try to make the latter into warnings or, better, errors. But stuff that is in the middle category you don’t want to restrict unless there is a clear way to work around it.» Eric Lippert, May 14, 2008

Making Coffee[^]
I'm sure I've drank that coffee before...

That explains it all.
I'm back in Melbourne aka The Only Place In The World That Makes Decent Coffee Except For A Small Roadside Cafe in Italy and am OD'ing pretty badly on the goodness while I can.
I'm already savouring the caffeine withdrawal headache I always get halfway across the Pacific when thre's still 8 more hours left in the flight. It's...poetic.
cheers

I hate to admit it but there used to be a little coffee shop in Pondichery that made the most exquisite espresso I have ever had.
