Serve me my food on a Plate...

I thought that I was the only one regularly moaning to my other half about being served food in a restaurant, for which I have paid a decent amount of hard earned cash for, on bits of dead tree or roofing material.  Hallelujah, it appears not!  I would like say that I whole heartedly support the campaign for plates :-)

Wonder Of Stuff Episode 10 is out now...

So, the latest Wonder Of Stuff Vodcast (episode 10) is now on YouTube.  This episode is a big one and we started off by covering topics about Genetically Modified Mosquitoes, Hydrophobic Metals and Quantum Effects of Photosynthesis in Plants, but we then branched off to cover loads more mostly based around how difficult it is to grasp Quantum Entanglement and Spooky Action at a Distance.  

This one is a little bit sweary and has some innuendo so is rated PG :-)
