“Irish legends SLF have managed to crowd fund their next album in less than 24 hours…”

See how they did it here

The (as yet untitled) 10th album is due out March 2014.

We’re calling it ‘Alternative Funder’.

Redesigned stormtrooper helmets from the Art Wars exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery in London where heavyweights including David Bailey, Damien Hirst and Mr Brainwash (large pix top to bottom above) were invited to ‘remix’ the classic Imperial army lid.

The exhibition continues for 4 weeks ‘across billboard space on an entire platform of Regent’s Park Underground’ to coincide with the Frieze Art Fair (17-20th October).

46millionyearold-mosquito-fossil-discovered

A unique 46-million-year-old mosquito fossil with a belly full of dried blood has been found in a Montana riverbed, according to United States researchers. “It is an extremely rare fossil, the only one of its kind in the world,” Dale Greenwalt, lead author of the study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), said.

Quick! Start up the centrifuge. Somebody fetch a frog.

Cutting-edge instruments detected the unmistakable traces of iron in her engorged abdomen, but just what creature that blood came from is a mystery since DNA cannot be extracted from a fossil that old.

Damn. So close.

Spot the ‘pass’. Possibly the worst NCT in history!

Unless, that is, you can top it.

Have you tried to NCT a knackered old bedframe, an elderly cat or even a Peugeot 206?
