Surprised more Geography Departments don't just rename themselves 'School of Rock' and watch those enrolment applications flow in...

The daily request to review papers outside of my field for suspicious journals I have never heard of is escalating to journals I have never heard of (& appear to be predatory) are getting very rude. But if one responds one may be put on even more lists. Institutional blocking not 100%. Can't win!

On the paleo diet? Then here's a side of juicy maggots theconversation.com/neanderthals...
Neanderthals likely ate fermented meat with a side of maggots
New research highlights the prevalence of maggots as an easily obtained, nutrient-rich supplement of ancient hominin diets.

One of the greatest things about Australia is the daily discovery of something extra that can kill you. For example, this
dear creature.Do they live far from people? Fremantle WA right bang next to tourists .... www.perthnow.com.au/wa/perth-bea... and www.australiangeographic.com.au/fact-file/fa...
Fact File: Blue-ringed octopus (Hapalochlaena maculosa)
The reclusive yet highly-venomous blue-ringed octopus has enough poison inside it to kill 26 humans - and there isn’t a known anti-venom in sight.

Nobody mentions the Magpies. Operatic harbringers of blackwinged terror (if you ride a bicycle).

Researchers have identified the location of Cadirli Fortress, one of the earliest strongholds conquered by Osman Ghazi the founder of the Ottoman state, in the early 14thC.
The finding sheds new light on the formative years and reliability of chronicles. www.turkiyetoday.com/culture/site...

Just beginning to wonder if the hopelessness of Utopia (some Utopia visions, anyway) is actually the sublime constituent sliver of Utopia..

Not saying I mean to be petty, but I found myself on a 16 hour nonstop flight from Perth to Rome with Luigi, one of the architects of the Australian Parliament House, and I had to mention how I hate the ceiling panels. Luckily, he forgave me.

2nd edition of Game Mods book (press.etc.cmu.edu/books/game-m...)? No, it isn't out, but the publisher inquired as to whether I was interested, to a more critical game mods book. Contributors chould be co-authors of the book rather than authors of chapters. Too ambitious? Interested? Drop me a line.
