		<description><![CDATA[It feels as though humanity is going through a rather confusing phase. Watching several video parodies of the latest Apple iPad has prompted me to look back on some of our achievements. Back in the 4th millennium B.C., our ancestors wrote on clay tablets, making greater use of their brains to retain what was being [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Professor Higgins and Colonel Pickering are remembered for painstakingly breaking Eliza Doolittle’s habits so she could say, “The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain,” with no hint of her Cockney accent in the 1956 classic My Fair Lady. The truth is, it generally falls in the north of Spain, but that technicality is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I haven’t watched the news properly for the last week. In that time, a Basque terrorist on hunger strike managed to convince the president of Spain to modify his jail sentence. This in turn caused thousands to demonstrate against the government’s policy in the capital yesterday. Today, we will be commemorating the three year anniversary [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Sadly, this world has become so cynical many people find it hard to see a celebrity’s acts of kindness as genuine, rather than a publicity stunt to improve their image (dwindling or not). Recently, I was talking to a friend who complained about famous artists setting up companies in tax-advantageous areas. These people are among [...]]]></description>
