Wow, bbc is really hard up for news huh?

I really loved this quote:

'"... it's the typical height at which people ski in the Alps," Ian Johnston says (though many skiers also ski at lower altitudes).'

Really? I would never have guessed...

More or Less is a great program that introduces statistics to current affairs topics and listener questions. This was in response to a listener question. It being on the news is the usual BBC thing of using BBC news as an advertising medium for BBC shows.

There seem to be two Lego-related articles on the front page right now. One a piece nominally for "geeks", demonstrating how adults can continue to do novel and interesting creative things with Lego bricks; the other an emotionally-resonant piece (probably aimed at parents) showing that Lego-the-company/brand "cares about kids."

Both of these showing up just at the inflection point of the Christmas shopping season.

Good game, Lego.
