FEAR

Because it's Hallowe'en!

YELLOW

Can't work out if this picture is funny or cruel. Hmmmm...

This week's winner...

"The famous statue in Piccadilly Circus isn't actually Eros but his younger brother Anteros, the Greek God of requited love. Designed by Sir Alfred Gilbert, it stands for 'reflective and mature love, as opposed to Eros or Cupid, the frivolous tyrant'. However, this idea never caught on and coupled with people's shaky grasp of classical mythology they assumed it was Eros or Cupid. The use of the nude figure on a public monument was controversial in 1892 but the statue itself was ground breaking as it was the first in the world to be cast in aluminium."

Sorry, no time for storytime this week (again!).

Identify yourself to fully claim your victory!!

Oh, and last week's winner was Rudi by the way...

MISTAKEN IDENTITY

My favourite news story this week by far was the tale of a group of firemen who scaled a tree to rescue an iguana...only to discover it was actually a green branch.

Thus, this week's theme is MISTAKEN IDENTITY.

Lots of entries this week pleeeeease!!!

TIES

You know the drill by now!

This week's winner...

...Is Adam S (first double winner of the e-factoid - woohoo!). Here is his triumphant titbit:

"A surgery that dates back to prehistoric times, Trepanation is the grisly, gung-ho practice of drilling into the skull of a sufferer of mental disorders; ostensibly to 'allow evil spirits to escape'. A more scientific (but unverified) rationale for this practice suggests that brain blood volume may be increased by freedom from the skull’s enclosure. Seemingly misguided and brutal, trepanation is astoundingly alive and well - the documentary 'A Hole in the Head' documents the three attempts of Joey Mellen to drill a dime-sized hole in his skull with a power drill in a gruesome endeavour to 'raise his consciousness'."

Ewww.

DRILLS

Because we had a fire drill in the office this week. Exciting stuff...
