Deliver Us From Evil
Amazon is seeking US permission to test Prime Air delivery drones.
Online retailer says in letter to FAA it has made 'advancements towards development of highly automated aerial vehicles'. The use of delivery drones in far away places could bring a new era in, for example, the third world.
One potential customer from North Kenya, thinks delivery drones could be of great use.
"We are investigating the potential to use of such delivery drones to meet our needs also" said a Mr. Abdula "Mad Bomber" Jihad, today.*

Tracy Emin vs. Persil
Tracey Emin 'hopes' her most famous artwork, an unmade bed, will end up in a museum after it is sold at auction.
"My Bed" (1998), which features stained sheets, cigarette packets, and soiled clothing, was due to be sold at Christie's next Tuesday. It was expected to fetch between £800,000 and £1.2 million.
Vandals, however, have broken in and destroyed the art piece - please see photo below.
Tracey is said to be devastated.

A Poke in the Third Eye
I was talking to a new-age guru the other day about "mind over matter".
I shared how I had once thought in my mind, about having a lovely cup of tea... and do you know... I was absolutely amazed when I got up, put the kettle on and made one. Wow!!! Isn't the power and potential, of the human brain, amazing?
He looked dumbfounded and walked away, shaking his head... I guess, not many can handle the truth!

Banksy
Apparently the street artist Banksy is so fed up with greedy people lifting his work off of walls and selling it on at auction, he's now taking the step of creating work and then immediately removing it himself. He then plans to sell on his work.
"If they're going to nick my free art, I'm going to nick their plaster rendering. I might as well earn something from my work, a?. Plus it cuts out the middle man" he explained.
Keep an eye out around Bristol this summer for some of his latest work.

William, It Was Really Nothing
"They might take our lands!
They might take our lives!
but they will never take our...
...sense of IRONY!!!"
The pictured sculpture in Stirling, Scotland, is of William Wallace. The artist based it on Mel Gibson's film 'Braveheart'; it was hated so much by locals, that the council had to fence it off, to protect it from vandalism.

Who's Going To Be Responsible?
"The massacre of the whole village isn't our fault" said some near-future government who conceived the design and it's autonomous algorithms, "Blame the robot!"
Yes, Naughty Robot!
"You want justice, so we'll dismantle it. How's that?, does that make you feel better?" said Dr Frankenstein to the crowd of grieving survivors, as he got into his limousine and sped away.
He didn't hear them say "no, not really"
Meanwhile, speaking of 'programmed killer robots'... a woman in a burka, blew herself up today in Kabul, killing 12 and injuring 78.

The World Wide Web
'Money spider' is the term given to spiders of the family Linyphiidae, an almost exclusively northern hemisphere group of moidern spiders typically characterised by being very small and black and difficult to distinguish. In the UK they make up around 40% of the spider fauna, or about 250 species, possibly more.
anyway... the Chancellor of the Exchequer has announced an increase in tax on all 'money spiders', as from the end of June.

Next Door
Was looking on Gumtree and there was an advert for a "Star-Gate".
I thought "wow, I'd love one of those..."
Turns out they misspelled it... they were selling a "Stair-Gate". We live in a bungalow anyway.
Still, I'll keep looking; someone must have an inter-dimensional portal facility they're not using anymore.

Hearts & Minds
A government "think-tank" has come up with a novel idea to help the public warm to the use of armed and autonomous, war-drones in their skies. They will now paint happy, smiley faces on the front of the fuselage
"If the drone decides to launch a depleted uranium rocket at a village, this idea will show that we're human" said some chinless-wonder today.
