Yeah, this is very likely. I seem to remember my sister had a doll with one of those many years ago...

Also known as a "Brazilian Aardvark" is says... :)

Awesome thanks - I found soem info here: Coati. I took this picture in Iguazu in Brazil a few years back, but I never found out about this creature. Thanks for that...

Interesting thanks...

There is a ceramic toy horse on this page that's in the British Museum: http://schlanghole.wordpress.com/

This is a ceramic model of a horse with harness and was probably used as a child's toy. Its ears are missing as well as part of its tail. It was once exhibited at "Equus, Three Millennia of the Horse" at 181 Piccadilly, London from April-June 2003. We sometimes forget that in ancient times there were children and those children, just as today, played with toys.

Could your horse be ceramic?

Great thanks, this one has some pretty amazing colours though!?

Have to say, I've never been to the Alps in the summer - load in the winter, but never in the summer.

I must do that one day...

Entirely ridiculous...

WOW! Looks like some sort of SLK...?

Yeah, pretty scary stuff - it shouldn't be allowed, we need perspective on everything, and if you don't get it, opinion can quickly become very skewed.

I think he's brilliant...

I love this one.

I actually saw one in SF lst year... Here is my (blurry) photo of it...

Seems a bit draconian, surely if someone supports a club they should be able to have fun posting clips of their favourite players/ goals...

Golden Gate bridge? Sydney Harbour bridge? London bridge probably wins on being iconic, I don't think that anyone would ever mistake it for another.

It must have been a real wonder of the modern age when it was built.

I agree, stunning looking car, I love the old style California GT from Ferris Bueller fame, there is one for sale here - $4million EUR, (not that the new one is in any way ugly! see here.

I'd take either to be honest! :)

Haha - thanks, yeah I'd still love to find out about this fella.

Pretty sure that it's the IAU. I think 99.99999% of all planets will only ever receive a numerical designation, because there are just way too many to name. Latest estimate that I saw was at least 50 billion in our Milky Way.

Having said that, the major ones will be sure to get names - the first that we detect with life, the first that we send a probe to, the first that we visit. Way off in the future of course...

BTW those "star naming" companies that you see are not in anyway affiliated with the IAU. So you can pay them to "name a star" but all you're really doing is paying them to print a bit of paper. (Sounds like a good business to be in actually!)

I assume that a lot of work on this project will be used to plan the work done by this one: James Webb Space Telescope.

Sounds reasonable, still it looks pretty huge!

Ha! They did! Well they did a demo anyway - it was terrible! State of Shock in 1980...

It was eventually released with Mick Jagger instead of Freddy singing and did really well in both the US

Yep, that seems like real crazy talk to me.

It amazes me sometimes that 1) People like this get into power, and even when they do (say, like Gaddafi in a coup) 2) People/ other countries don't do something.

I realise that we need to respect other countries and their political systems, but surely the time has come to put short term political and financial goal aside and properly pressure dictatorial governments?

Yeah, I think that the game is up. In fact I think they hoisted the white flag when they added the "Login with Facebook" feature...

Yeah, thanks. It was an incredible experience to spend a few days walking there. I'd like to know somewhere else that's similar to explore.

Wow, I wish that I could take pictures like that.

It sounds quite a lot like the Ares/ Orion set up for NASA's (now defunct) Constellation program. But I think they took your thought process a few steps further:

• 1) They split the crew/ cargo sections and put them on their own launch stages, I believe this allowed greater flexibility and safety (humans on smaller rockets)

• 2) They went with a capsule/ parachute system because I believe firstly it's most practical set up to put on top of a rocket and the parachute return is simple, safe, cheap and reliable.

I would have loved to see the Constellation program returning to the moon, that would have been amazing. Such a shame that it got cancelled.

Look this is pretty interesting: http://www.worldwidewebsize.com/ as of Thursday, 24 February, 2011 it says that he Web contains at least 13.54 billion pages!

So, Google's index in 1998 was 0.1846% the current size of the internet.

lol, I think that it would collapse in on itself during a crash test...!

Anyone know what they're like to drive? Are they fun? Or just damn dangerous?

Here are a couple of goog photo blogs:

• Totally Cool Pics

• The Big Picture

Some pretty devastating images from down there, and such a terrible loss of life... :(

Looks like it might be near Pultit Rock?. I've never been there.

Such a great song! :)

A good 8 minute video about the Google Lunar X Prize here.

James Webb will certainly be amazing, I can't wait though I think that it has been delayed again, so won't launch until 2014 or something.

I also hope that it deploys correctly - it's huge and has a massive amount of deployment to do once it reached it's orbit.

Should be able to resolve planets around other stars however!

There are about 900 species of crickets, but this may be a Grasshopper. What's the difference? I have no idea...

Ooh, look another twist

"But as the club closest to the site, [Leyton] Orient believe their existence would be threatened by the Hammers' arrival."

The Rosette Nebula, about 5,000 light years from Earth. I think.

I wouldn't like to be bitten that's for sure!

Michael Schumacher is putting in a good show at pre-season testing...

BBC Sport

Hodgson has a new job at West Brom...

Well, the OPLC (Olympic Park Legacy Company) has endorsed the West Ham bid. I'm not sure if that means that they get the stadium or if they need further endorsements?

Also, found this video of Alan Sugar making your point Fanny_.

Very big!

Global Security doesn't say anything about backwards facing missiles Link Here.

It may just be a photoshopped image or just a freak perspective of a normal photo!

Maybe it's as a result of all that waiting around...?

Love his eyes. Great photo!

Certainly looks like it could be a Meteor to me.
