I did an exam as part of my masters and it was all written. Haven't written anything of any substance by hand for like centuries. My hand almost fell off.

I do a fair bit of handwriting at work anyway, but I do go into handwriting training in advance.

Tis ridiculous you can't use computers. But, I remember when my wife was doing post grad at Deakin that she got permission to use a laptop on account of some medical condition.

Great article about the cracking of the wall of secrecy surrounding Armstrong and doping. From the NY Times.

http://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/21/s...ne-rider-at-a-time.html?pagewanted=1&src=recg

“Lance Armstrong never came up,” Messick said in an interview last week. “But he did make a comment on the Mafia. He said, When you’re in the Mafia and you get caught and go to jail, you keep your mouth shut, and the organization takes care of your family. In cycling, you’re expected to keep your mouth shut when you test positive, but you become an outcast. Everyone just turns their back on you.”

Well 700k won't even buy you a whole Tippett. So it seems good value to me.

Kurt Tippett will be able to buy a lot of Virgins when he goes "home".

He's a virgin, you know? Said to Sydney for 1M a year, it's yours.

That just sounds 'wrong'.

I've only read the article above, and of course the link to Henry Jr who forked out $3k and will televise the intercourse on Skype.

How do you know the girl is a virgin? but, as my missus said, she wont feel a thing with a Japanese dude. Easy cash

This is quite interesting in a kind of weird way. The book is currently on the NY List. Eminent doctor and all.

Heaven Is Real: A Doctor’s Experience With the Afterlife

When a neurosurgeon found himself in a coma, he experienced things he never thought possible—a journey to the afterlife.
As a neurosurgeon, I did not believe in the phenomenon of near-death experiences. I grew up in a scientific world, the son of a neurosurgeon. I followed my father’s path and became an academic neurosurgeon, teaching at Harvard Medical School and other universities. I understand what happens to the brain when people are near death, and I had always believed there were good scientific explanations for the heavenly out-of-body journeys described by those who narrowly escaped death.

Royals turning up at my kids school today. Absolute pandemonium at drop off time. ABC broadcasting outside one childs classroom. Police everywhere. School has been in lockdown since 9am.

At least the kids are excited.

For fans of Home and Away this is a must watch.....
