Today in "honest we weren't hacked, we'd tell you if we were" weekly...

*Curtin University. Unless it was a bad pun, in which case you need to point it out. - a perthite who attended it.

Cats make a similar noise when they are watching birds in trees. It is as if they think that noise will "woo" the birds into coming down to be eaten. "Hello, I too am a bird, hear my convincing bird calls, let's play."

My thoughts are that you lose any sympathy for even genuine (minor) slights against you when you call the police on someone daily and trespass on their farm. That's more than a slight-increase-in-the-cost-of-5-goats worth of inconvenience. And illegal.

"goes beyond hydrogen peroxide" ... which you should also never put on wounds. Actual science shows the majority of the evidence supporting honey as a wound dressing is from poorly designed studies and perception bias. Evidence does suggest it is useful in some circumstances but it is no "golden" bullet as it is sold. One interesting note also is that of course it works as an antibiotic.. beekeepers in the majority of the world lace their hives with actual antibiotics to prevent diseases from destroying the hive. This is generally not considered when doing poor quality assessments of its efficacy.

Ahh the Northern Hemisphere. The "also ran" of extreme cold temperatures. Coldest ever beaten by 20 whole degrees C! (−89.2 °C (−128.6 °F; 184.0 K) at the Soviet Vostok Station in Antarctica on 21 July 1983). Although they all sound wayyy too cold for me it seems a bit dishonest to just tot in "northern hemisphere record" without acknowleding quite how much Antarctica beat it by. To be fair, Antarctica's hottest ever was a "mere" 18.3 degrees Celsius (64.94 degrees Fahrenheit). Which interestingly is about 20 degrees C from the hottest in the artic circle.. with about the same difference in minimum too!

Have you seen the French "Bazooka Vespa" (50's so post ww2) with the built in 75mm recoilness anti armour canon?https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespa_150_TAP

"Really still mostly chemicals". So some of it is not matter? Perhaps dark matter? No wonder they are tight lipped about it!

That headrest one is kind of cool.. but is it really the best solution for the "I am holding a device with metal bits poking out and need to break a window" problem? Just poking the window with the metal bits will break the window just as well and safely and the glass will end up more outside the car. And the car door will be reusable afterwards.

I often think to myself "I wish there was a shelving solution that used vastly more wood than other methods, was impractical at actually storing things on and was asthetically fairly unappealing". All that work for one small patch of short book storage. Kind of the "I don't really read but having books looks good" solution. Like having colour matched books. Which they also do in this photo.

Wish someone had asked a certain person that question before letting him have nuclear codes.

"the world’s first environmentally friendly organic material made out of Nopal cactus" ... doesn't seem like a high bar given they specify the last part.

How ironic... [shares picture of herself as advice on preventing people sharing pictures of you then watches it spread about the internet]. Sure hope she was ok with that... :)

Hey guys - something sometimes goes wrong with your site's loading and it shows the wrong video for the story on the main page (correct one on individual story page). Often it is only "one story offset" but today is like this - 2 examples - https://imgur.com/a/QopJ9MX (up to date chrome on android/S8)
