Clark's orbit

Here's something I found out today from the discovery channel... Arthur C Clark invented the idea of satellites:

"The idea for developing communications satellites was born soon after the war, when the future famous American sci fi writer Arthur Clark, in an issue of the Radio World magazine for October 1945, unveiled his concept of a repeater communication station located at an altitude of 35,880 kilometres above the Earth.

Clark is credited with determining the height of the orbit at which the satellite is immobile relative to Earth. Such an orbit is called stationary /geostationary/ or Clark's orbit. "

Children's drawings from Darfur

“I am looking at the sheep in the wadi [riverbed, or oasis]. I see Janjaweed coming—quickly, on horses and camels, with Kalashnikovs—shooting and yelling, ‘kill the slaves, kill the blacks.’ They killed many of the men with the animals. I saw people falling on the ground and bleeding. They chased after children. Some of us were taken, some we didn’t see again. All our animals were taken: camels, cows, sheep, and goats. Then the planes came and bombed the village.” Abd al-Rahman, Age 13

The more unusual election pledges

Hooray, for all the looney political parties in the UK.

"...the Dungeons Death and Taxes party - whose registered address is tourist attraction the London Dungeons - is offering a suitably lurid manifesto.

It pledges to reintroduce hanging, 'but only for minor offences such as writing graffiti and dropping litter'. Murderers and those guilty of improper use of mobile text abbreviations will be disembowelled.

The new school leaving age would be nine, with 'thickie' children forced to take up manual labour. The party also pledges to occupy and annexe France, and to have tax rates of 90%." Nutters...
