As per Charles' instructions, the hilltop observatory offers its telescope (designed to be easily operated with one hand) an unobstructed view of the London skyline. Charles is often seen entering the observatory at dusk and exiting again just before dawn... smiling. Are you sure? While I wholeheartedly believe your normally impeccably-researched articles it seems highly unlikely that Charles II would stoop to 'solitary vices' given the number of mistresses he had. Or perhaps I have misconstrued and he was just happy to have got a night's sleep for a change. He was trying to avoid the plague?

Four days later, the butterfly-like structure is found perched on the flower-like top of China's Shanghai building.

(http://lindenlab.com/press/releases). What depressing stuff it is. I couldn't bring myself to go back further than 2009 but here's the summary: 2009 (good news in bold) 20th January: (working) OnStreet and XStreet XL bought-out, to be replaced by (not working) marketplace 27th January: LL spend money on 2 more executives (the faceless sort, as they should be) 21st April: Zindra debacle 30th April: The first and only 'annual' Linden prize 20th May: \o/ 15 Billion minutes of voice reached \o/ 27th May: Gold Solution Provider program - RL companies didn't want SL solutions, even if you paid LL to advertise you. 31st August: LL buy another executive - this time to kill profiles and make SL look like twit-face 22nd September: \o/ 1 Billion hours, 1 Billion US$ reached \o/ 11th November: SL Enterprise launched for business. Like (free) opensim but costs US$55,000. No known takers. 2010 19th January: Another executive (CFO) 31st March: (loved) viewer 1 replaced by (loathed) viewer 2 9th June: 30% of the company fired. 24th June: \o/ Kingdon fired at last \o/ 23rd December: Rodvik joined (I thought that was good news for a long time) 2011 - LL had absolutely nothing to say for themselves or about SL 2012 16th February: New toys are more interesting than SL 2013 CDC reveals that Second Life is actually a vaccine, deployed to stop the spread of virtual worlds. With innoculation rates (new user signups) now over 50,000/day, the infected population (concurrency) has dropped to just 26,000. The vaccine was first discovered by a team of researchers guided by Professor Philip Lactic of Tufts University. CDC spokesperson Dr. Viru Lence sets a target worldwide extermination date of 2020.

Don't trust this one, lx42. He has a space modulator and he's not afraid to use it. It can be very kinky modulating at the lower settings. You should try it some time. Ooooh, so that's the Earth shattering Kaboom?

It's public domain (I don't think anyone wants the copyright!) C'mon Peter, how can you fault a movie in which there is the line "future events such as these will affect you... in the future"?!

5-1-2013 Rupert Murdoch, deposed head of a once powerful media empire, is caught eavesdropping on patrons at the Olive Garden restaurant where he is employed as a waiter. 5-1-2014 Linden Lab announces "Linden Boxes". Given free to all residents as full-perm library objects, the large cardboard appliance boxes make the perfect home for the indigent. Marxists soon complain that, as everyone on the grid has one, they have been deprived of the joy of stealing from the overlords to gain the admiration of the indolent. 5-1-2045 The last surviving member of the aptly named band Limp Bizkit dies childless, like all the others.

4-30-1932 Dance queen Kathryn "Crazy Legs" Wilson, originator of the "Charleston", retires from Vaudeville just as the Lindy Hop gains popularity. When asked where she first conceived of the dance, Wilson replied "While waiting in line for the loo." 4-30-2013 Linden Labs announces "Linden Circus", a virtual carnival which disillusioned residents can run away to join. Specially created "Carnie" avatars come complete with five o'clock shadows (male and female) missing teeth, nicotine stained fingertips and shabby clothing. On it's first day of operation, Linden Circus enlists more than half of Second Life's population. 4-30-2032 String Theorists are temporarily vindicated when experimental physicists at CERN's recently completed Ginormous Hadron Collider smash together two proton streams at 42TEV, producing the recently theorized Edsel particle. The particle, which had been hyped as the be-all and end-all of particles, is immediately criticized by the still mostly male physics community as looking too much like a certain female naughty bit. 4-30-2041 The "Loo Theory" of dance is proposed by cultural anthropologists after adoption of updated public space building codes, which require extra restroom capacity for females, correlates strongly with a reduction in the number of new dance moves invented by women. 4-30-2059 Musicologist Louise "Crazy Legs" Pelou discovers the original transcript of "Skip to My Loo". Subsequent misspellings of the title and lyrics obscured the true meaning of the song for more than 200 years. 4-30-2060 Widespread recognition of "Loo Theory" is celebrated in Google's graphic of the day.

I don't often get French cuisine! ...sends boxes of hugs for you and Ajja and an extra box just in case Lia tries to sneak back onto your sim. Happy Monday, Kids!!!
