In the future, the Berlin wall will be a mile high, and made of steel. You too will be made to crawl, to lick children's blood from jackboots. There will be no creativity, only productivity. Instead of love there will be fear and distrust, instead of surrender there will be submission. Contact will be replaced with isolation, and joy with shame. Hope will cease to exist as a concept. The Earth will be covered with steel and concrete. There will be an electronic policeman in every head. Your children will be born in chains, live only to serve, and die in anguish and ignorance.
The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil, no good, nothing but blind, pitiless indifference.

"Wer Visionen hat, sollte zum Arzt gehen." - Helmut Schmidt
I could have had class. I could have been a contender.
I could have been somebody. Instead of a bum
Which is what I am
I aim at the stars
But sometimes I hit London
Water Scales = American units to the rescue.

Yeah, "simple conversion" my ass. 1 liter = 1 kg. That is easy.
When the stars threw down their spears
And watered heaven with their tears:
Did he smile his work to see?
Did he who made the lamb make thee?

The largest civil engineering project in Europe gets underway; London Crossrail, at a cost of £16bn (US$25bn), which is a tunnel crossing London East to West, and links the two financial centres; The City and The Docklands.
Eight enormous Tunnel Boring Machines have been bought from German manufacturer Herrenknecht, who will buy them back after completion.
At a cost of £10m each, and weighing nearly 1,000 tonnes, they are impressive pieces of kit.
Boring is expected to progress at a rate of around 100m per week, and will have to navigate existing sewers and road and Underground tunnels.
TBMs are awesome. I've always loved 'em.
I wonder how often they have to replace the borehead.

More realistic versions of Disney females behind the link; pretty cool stuff.
