• Abnormal Life

  In the old days when we used to talk about the possibility of life beyond Earth we would invariably get into a debate about the likelihood of a silicon-based variety. I think it was Carl Sagan in an “I refute it thus!”-moment who said that if a silicon giraffe had walked by the Viking Lander (on Mars) they would have got a picture of it. The bottom-line is that silicon-based life is so unlikely – why would the laws of nature have conspired to use silicon when there’s carbon? Besides in a sense, humans are silic...

• The Fall of the Unicycling Girrafe

  ...Strictly Come Chav Factor every Saturday night, I commissioned Gee Minor to do a brand new ‘No Girrafes’ notice, which she did. It’s a lovely notice, but I discovered, too late, that her spelling has improved, so that the notice reads NO GIRAFFES ON UNICYCLES BEYOND THIS POINT I could hardly ask her to re-create the charming mis-spelling of yore, but somehow, something inside me died just then.
