The date on which England do play,
Is an odd time for a meeting I’d say,
But tho it does suck,
It turns out I’m in luck,
As Exeter University’s having their open day.

Something that would make most of us bleat,
Is deciding on the following time for us to meet, Wednesday at 4.10, As its this time when, Hopefully England will Slovenia beat.

Monday
The barnacle has a penis 40 times its own body length. (Not surewhether to be impressed, jealous or take pity as what I would do with one over 240 feet? Maybe use it as a scarf.) They also have testes near the back of their head, and maybe it is a throwback to this sort of anatomy that makes us men sometimes think with our testicles.
Tuesday
The Naegleria Fowleri is a single celled organism that occasionally can enter the nose and meander up the nervous system and start feeding on the human brain. This is how it has got its other name the “brain eating amoeba”. It is enough to put you off swimming in lakes in the Czech Republic, New Zealand and the USA. Probably best I didnt know about that before I did go swimming in lakes in Eastern Europe and the US! (Of course if one has swum up my nose and eaten my brain would have been better to know…)
Wednesday
This is turning out to be penis length fact week. Humans have the largest penis size of any ape (I vaguely may have known this). A result of this is for the phrase to be “hung like a gorilla” is considered an insult in some african countries. (They have a penis as thin as a pencil but maybe they know what to do with it as that is what matters!)
Thursday
A promethean interactive whiteboard can be set up (accidently) to autohide the toolbox.
Friday
Most birds do not have a penis, although ducks do. A breed of duck jas one twice its body length.
Saturday
I learnt today a good way to grow mushrooms, decided it is a smelly business though so might just let Tescos grow mine.
Sunday
Taunton is at longitude 3.1 degrees west (I have known the latitude was 51.0 for some time as this is useful for telescope setting up, longitude less so). The sun sets about 13 minutes after it does in London.

Flower Power
There is a creature as fine as a pearl,
Strange and scary who’ll make your toes curl,
It seems to gain powers,
From a cut bunch of flowers,
This is the mysterious thing known as a girl.

Sunday Walks
A curious thing happened last Sunday,
When I was walking towards Staplehay,
The weather was hot,
And I found this quaint spot,
With a pond where the kingfishers play.

Insects dance all the time and this is especially true of ants
If you are not careful they will dance inside your pants

Netherlands today beat Denmark,
But the game really failed to spark,
Cameroon lost,
A game Japan bossed,
Italy and Paraguay drew after dark.

Germany v Australia
Against the Aussies the Germans scored four,
They had chances to score even more,
They were good but still,
The red card for Cahill,
Was a decision that was particularly poor.

World Cup Day 2 (England v USA)
There are plenty of places where,
You can watch tonights affair,
As for the score for Korea,
And Argentina no fear,
If its not England today I don’t care.
…
There are some things that are better not seen, Like what happened to poor Robert Green, Yet ITV showed an advert, Which seemed to divert, Our attention from Gerrard’s goal that had been.

World Cup Opening Day Report
So France and Uruguay could not score,
The game ended up as a draw,
Gonzales tackled too hard,
And hence got a red card,
But apart from that the game was a bore.
