Some random news-picks

I cannot help myself but provide you with a few links of interest:

First, something about the fascinating American habit of tipping, which I'm still trying to come to terms with.

And next an odd news story from the state of Illinois (that's right: Obama-land) - reinstating Pluto as a planet. (Take that, IAU.)

  1. Joris!

    I have been abjectly slack and not read any of your journal yet. I shall wade through it now. My excuse is that I finished and handed in my thesis! It has languished in a drawer of the School of Grad Research for 2 weeks while my supervisor gets around to finding examiners.
