Animal Testing Colouring Book

As part of the ongoing drama surrounding UK children’s plummet down world rankings for education, it’s clear that Something Must Be Done. It was Tony Blair’s idea to allow privately run schools (or rather, their funders), to set their own curriculum, and all I can think that the examples below are what primary school materials will eventually look like under this scheme.

First up is “The Lucky Puppy” by the North Carolina Association for BioMedical Research. As we all know, the animals in research labs were sick before they went in there.

While the BCAMR were guilty of glossing over a few minor details in their seminal work on animal testing, the Jews for the Preservation of Firearms Ownership have considerable chutzpa in calling these lectures on the evils of gun control “lessons”. Still, gotta love Brasco, the gun-toting bear!

Feel Young Again

Some of you may know that just like every other “young” person, I have a morbid fear of ageing. More accurately, I have a morbid fear of reaching certain milestone ages (such as 25) and realising that instead of the career job, country house, wife, dog and Volvo that I thought I’d have at this age, I find myself employed as a by-the-hour data monkey, sharing a small flat with no lady, labrodor or locomotion in sight. Thanks heavens then, for the following site: “Things Other People Accomplished When They Were Your Age“. All I have to do is set it one year ahead of me, and relax in the knowledge that:

Albert Einstein published five major research papers in a German physics jornal, fundamentally changing man’s view of the universe and leading to such inventions as television and the atomic bomb.

Then I think to myself, “You see, Einstein hadn’t amounted to much at this age. I still have time.”

Yes, I still have time…
