What would happen if you covered a flock of sheep in LED’s, let them loose on a dark hillside, rounded them up with a sheepdog then filmed the result?
Via Eric’s Michel Vuilsteke’s that is, I repeat Eric’s excellent Komma Punt Log (see comments below) comes Extreme Shepherding –
Enjoy.
UPDATE:
Bugger. The Guardian spotted it. I hate it when they do that.
UPDATE II:
Edited to reflect my momentary stupidity and gross bad manners. Sorry Eric.
A small bat that was spotted blasting off with the space shuttle Sunday and clinging to the back side of Discovery’s external fuel tank apparently held on throughout the launch.
Of course, it might have been the Alien Space Bat responsible for the implausible divergence of history we suffered through the past eight years going back home…
But 303 squadron was a Polish squadron:
The party’s 2009 European Elections poster shows a nostalgic picture of a Second World War fighter plane under the slogan “Battle for Britain”.
But RAF history experts have identified the iconic Romeo Foxtrot Delta Plane as belonging not to Britons but to a group of Polish pilots instead.
The plane was actually flown by the celebrated 303 Squadron of the RAF – made up of Polish airmen rescued from France shortly before Nazi occupation.
BNP party chiefs defended their use of the image and insisted they knew all about the background.
However, John Hemming, MP for Yardley, Birmingham, blasted the far right party for using the image to front a campaign which includes stemming immigration from Poland.
He said: “The BNP often get confused and this happens because they haven’t done their research. This is just another example of them getting it wrong.
“They have a policy to send Polish people back to Poland – yet they are fronting their latest campaign using this plane.
“It is absurd to make claims about Englishness and Britishness fronted by this image.
“It’s obvious they just picked an image at random and they are really clutching at straws if they say this was deliberate.”
Whoops.
The cleverest and funniest picture I’ve seen in yonks, from Mutley James via Charlie Stross:
The comments are equally enjoyable; “Amazing to think that just one hive of these wove almost the whole of the worldwide web.”
