  • I have seen colour spotted sheep on the hills in Yorkshire, exactly like LadyAnne47's pic.

    These aren't dyed for fun, tho'. They put a chalking harness on the rams, each ram getting a different colour chalk. This is how the farmers know which ewe was bred by which ram.

  • I saw some dyed sheep up the north of Ireland. I think blue dye was used then. Irish football fans are less patriotic perhaps...

  • That is so cool and interesting.

  • There is also the Swedish Navy 'Visby' class corvettes.

  • Er, the only clandestine purpose the Sea Shadow was ever used for was R&D. It's a testbed. The actual ship was not used for
    the Bond film; doesn't have a helicopter
    pad.

  • 1: That Su-30 is Russian, there is a Russian flag on the tail.

    2: The cargo plane is taking off, not landing.
    Read more

  • That cargo plane is also a C-17, not a HC-10. And it is indeed taking off, can be spotted at the dustcloud behind the aircraft. Landing aircraft only produce a dustcloud at touchdown.

  • Hi.

    I believe the "End of the World" time line comes from the Times Online.

    I found it on this page, with attribution.

    Love this blog by the way. Always something interesting.

  • The Soviets detonated the largest nuclear bomb ever at 50 megatons which was an astounding 3,000 times the explosive power of Hiroshima.
    Read more

  • that timeline is pretty silly. after all, if there was all-out nuclear war or an asteroid strike, presumably the endangered species and fish stocks et al would be seriously effected. not to mention the "pollution" such events would cause...
    Read more

  • @jaake

    considering the era the timeline was made the government and public at large were still pretty naive about the total effects of a nuclear war, let alone something really random like an asteroid strike. I mean, hell, nobody is still sure what an all out nuclear war would do to the earth today.
    Read more

  • That post-apocalypse timeline is just plain silly.

    Humans are pretty damn tough omnivores. We can eat almost anything, except trees and grasses; however, we can eat pretty much anything that eats trees and grasses.

    To kill us, you'd have to kill a very large number of Earth's species. We could become extinct, but so would most other mammals (certainly anything over 5kg), most birds, most existing reptiles, and a lot of marine life.

    You'd be left with a planet of plants, bugs, fish, and a few small mammals and slimey reptiles. Sure, it'd recover, but it would take a loooong time (millions of years).

    I've never understood the whole 'humans are bad, nature is good' self loathing. Utterly weird. If you think humans are bad, I recommend that you start by topping yourself.

  • "...know more about gas masks than modern generation." Pfff, I "Wear it once", but I'm not "get scarred for life."

    "To scare yourself even more" find info about "Drop-shot", "Broiler" and several other plans of nuclear attack on Russia. Those plans has become more bloodthirsty with each next year before Russia invented its own a-bomb.
