:: Giant Cinnamon Sticks Found in Saddam Statue's Hollow Legs ::

Serves me right - I got all smug about some extended piece of commentary on this afternoon's momentous events (which took me a while to write) and blogger crashes losing the whole lot. Instead I give you an infinitely more digestible resumé of that post as I have to dash off a proposal for my opera this evening before leaving the office.

Despite promising myself that b3ta would not feature heavily in today's post, i got sidetracked by the following from munkeon

First US-Iraqi cultural exchange in post-Saddam Baghdad

Everything else is summarised as a series of paltry links:
• A pertinent poem from Tony Harrison.
• A DIY Iraqi Press Release for the less politically sensitive
• While we're on the subject of Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf, I should mention that as proposed new host for Call My Bluff, his face now adorns a line of t-shirts, as does that of Rageh Omaar, the BBC's 'Scud Stud'. Click on the links below for exciting consumer opportunities at a bargain price!

Sultan of SpinScud Stud

And a couple surprisingly unrelated to the war:
• News reaches me of a proposed Shoreditch Soap Opera
• Also, an unfortunate advertising campaign in Hong Kong

In this morning's (deathly dull) training session on company accounts, my boss explained that companies doing badly tended to beef up their annual reports with numerous images. I think this is a lesson for us all, and explains the differences between my blog and Hypatia's. My response to this is to quote pictorially from b3ta once again. This is an evil rainbow cat apparently...

Thanks to KittyWaste for this!
