In the BBC Magazine Monitor’s list of 100 things we didn’t know last year, it turns out that bees can detect explosives (#96) and dogs can have two noses (#100).
Well, now we know. But did we want to?
Looks like I came back down south a few days too early – there was a casting call for extras to play zombies up in the west of Scotland today.
It’s a shame; I pretty much looked like a zombie by the time we left. I would have walked – no – staggered the audition! 😀
I wonder if the move by Time Warner to go Blu-Ray exclusive could be the turning point in ending the Hi-Def format war?
With movies I love, like Serenity, exclusive to HD DVD and with myself in the Blu-Ray camp I’m eager for it all to shake out so that I can start collecting the titles I want to own in Blu-Ray format. The problem with the stand-off is that, while studios are given big bucks to be exclusive to one particular format, it stifles the release of their movies, thus limiting choice.
There’s some good stuff out on Blu-Ray, but not too many titles I personally want to own. An end to the HD format war in 2008 would be most welcome.
