I think I have stumbled across my WTF moment for the month.

Constitution Arms (how's that for a name) claims that they have received federal approval to market a handgun as a medical device - because it has been designed to be used by the disabled and by seniors.

The second edition of the United Kingdom's own study guide for immigrants on life in Britain states that the legendary King Arthur did exist, and that he led the British against invaders during the sixth century. Despite whatever pesky historians and encyclopedias might say.

The EFF (Electronic Frontier Foundation) has formed a coalition with a number of universities and law schools who are attempting to clarify the concept of fair use in our remix age.

According to a Reuters article, the UK Government has decided not to sleepwalk into extending copyright to 95 years (as in the USA) or even the minimum recommended by the recording industry of 70 years (as in Australia). This means that copyright in the UK will remain at 50 years.

I would like to congratulate the Government on this decision. As a member of an industry that is protected by copyright I recognize the value of a temporary monopoly over any work that I may create, but I am all to well aware of the overly constraining nature of long copyright.

Did you know that (apparently) humans walked earth with dinosaurs about 4000 years ago? I didn't.

I was under the impression the two never met; dinosaurs were around between 65 and 230 million years ago, and humans didn't appear (as we would know them anyway) until 130,000 years ago.

But according to a number of Christian groups we are either (depending on who you read) being deceived by science or the scientists themselves are merely mistaken.
