Gomboc

Researchers in Hungary have created a shape which they have called Gomboc to explain how creatures such as beetles and turtles on their backs can get back on their feet.

"Nature has created such shapes but we did not understand why they are this way," said Gabor Domokos of the Budapest University of Technology and Economics (BUTE)."

Duh! So beetles and turtles on their backs can get back on their feet of course!

Keiser's 'urn' returned home today and now sits with her brother's (Fatty). I still miss Fatty, and will miss Keiser for a long time.

Emily is over tonight for TV night (Heroes and Prison Break). Just as last week, it is not the same without Keiser.

Hope you are enjoying Heroes as much as we are.

Watching TV certainly isn't the same without a little furry friend sprawled across our laps, is it?

Hi MK

It is not only TV watching that is not the same. The mornings are not the same, nor is returning home from work, or bedtime. Our feline best friends are a major part of our lives and when they are gone, it leaves a huge hole in our lives and our hearts.
