Updates: losing stuff, videos, toilets

So I have succeeded in misplacing my iPod (do I buy a nano or Touch?) and finding a better Magnetic Fields video. Also, they fixed the ISS toilet.

What I am reading at work

It's time for the second installment. Given that the weather's great, I just spent half an hour or so reading Science and The Economist on the embassy patio.

What am I reading about today? Fossilized poo and hermaphrodite frogs. Just take a look at title of The Economist article about the former, or "coprolites, as fossil faeces are termed by polite scientists."

Science is weird! There were plenty of other articles, of course, but the most scientific language makes me go cross-eyed.
