Song of the day: “Graceland” by Paul...
Overheard...
Boyfriend: Babe, it'll be fine don't worry.
Girlfriend: Oh I'm not worried, but if I see any of the other girls there try to dance with you they'd better watch out, 'cause it's stab-a-slut Sunday.
I do not approve of your new feature lil’ Tumblr. This thing called tumblarity seems to promote the kind of attention and attitude that you used to stay away from. That’s what made you so great!

Love As Differential Equations
“In the spring,” wrote Tennyson, “a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love.” And so in keeping with the spirit of the season, this week’s column looks at love affairs — mathematically.

Animals can tell right from wrong
Scientists studying animal behaviour believe they have growing evidence that species ranging from mice to primates are governed by moral codes of conduct in the same way as humans.
Until recently, humans were thought to be the only species to experience complex emotions and have a sense of morality.
But Prof Marc Bekoff, an ecologist at University of Colorado, Boulder, believes that morals are...
