Chris Hoy has terminal cancer. Facing death, we naturally turn to the Koran. It explains that we’re all going to die. As an Interfaith Specialist and Equalities Consultant, I can confirm that this is correct. We really are all going to die.

Have a nice day.

Ketamine use is becoming an epidemic among the young. It is used as a form of escapism. Faith provides a much healthier form of escapism with far fewer side effects. It gives life meaning, because without it it’s all pretty pointless and hopeless and we may as well all fall into a drug induced stupor and end it all.

Parliament is deciding whether doctors can murder people. People, who seem to think they should decide when their own life should end, must go on suffering for as long as I tell them to, It’s the Christian thing to do.

There will be other opinions, but you’re not allowed to hear them as this is Thought for the Day.

Comet on the Move

The movement of comet Tsuchinshan–ATLAS is quite obvious from night to night. Here are a couple of images taken last night and the night before.

The comet’s now well on its lonely, icy way back to the Oort cloud.

I was hoping to do a fancy picture with the two images merged, but the program I was trying to use kept crashing. So you’re stuck with side by side images for now,

I also tried to get some telescope images last night, but neither the telescope nor the camera would cooperate. The telescope refused to save its alignment, so tended to wander off all over the place. The camera’s focus assist also decided to show a blank screen, so it was nearly impossible to get a good focus. It’s live update screen was also taking ages to update, when I need it to operate in real time. As a result, most of last night’s close ups weren’t very good.

There are days when every bit of technology I touch just seems to break.
