Other?Just give me a summary of the bullet points We already employ this on our D&D recaps but i guess we can now call it a "scientifically proven" technique. Maybe i should do the same on the comics blog; i know i get ramble-y. At work, detailed documents were replaced by PowerPoints were replaced by quick emails were replaced by just email subjects and i imagine next we'll move to monosyllable grunting.

Other? | Link These poor kids in London have to take refuge in these adobe huts on the playground to shield themselves from the noise of the airplanes landing in Heathrow airport. The domes' builder, Julian Faulkner, said he had constructed about 70 homes and shelters using the same materials and techniques more common in Africa and Asia, predominantly in Nepal's earthquake-prone Kathmandu valley. Planes pass 180 metres (600ft) overhead at Hounslow Heath infant school on their way to land at Heathrow. Faulkner said he was shocked by the sight of children clasping their hands over their ears in the playground. He said the buildings helped to mitigate the planes' impact, "both of the noise and psychologically". Classes of up to 30 can be seated inside the main dome, which has a diameter of 5.2 metres, with space for more in a sunken amphitheatre outside. Needless to say, the proposal to expand the airport hasn't been met with alot of enthusiasm from the local population. By min | April 23, 2013, 8:07 AM | Ummm...
