Being an anatomist I have ‘Proportions of Man’ in my loo!

I have an actual shipment label for the an Apollo lunar module framed and on my music room wall of which I’m very proud.

What needs to be determined was his motivation and only then can an appropriate sentence be administered. If his intent was to cause trouble and inadvertently put secrets and hence people’s live at risk, then the I feel he should be dealt with by the Americans and…[Read more]

The nurses used to ask the relatives to bring in photos of when their loved ones were young or engaged in fun activities and place them on their bedside cabinets.

There are a few theories about what dreams are doing. One suggested its the brain testing its synaptic connections in a random fashion which thus triggers memories, emotions etc and produces the weird dreams we have. Another suggests that its the half-shut (sleeping) down brain trying to process the memories of the day…[Read more]

OK, we understood Bella was upset the drippy emo Edward had left, we understand that the physical opposite to emo-boy, Jake ‘Trapezius’ Werewolf fancied Bella but she loved Emo-boy and couldn’t betray his memory.

This is assuming you’re painting something real.

Virtually everyone I know is either indifferent to, against the Olympics. If they had protested and said, “Look, we the people, don’t want this. Stop the bid and put the money into better schools, hospitals etc or we vote UKIP” then maybe it wouldn’t have-maybe.

We can never really know what another person is thinking or trying to say because we can’t actually get ‘into’ their head and feel what they are feeling-we can only guess with our ‘theory of mind’.
