Friday's Dispatch

No surprise: he's a Russian mathematician who is sometimes described as a recluse- somewhat surprising, he recently turned down a 1 million dollar prize offered for solving some math problem.

• My children's uncle has described their dog as needy. Hadn't thought about it that way- but he's right, it's the neediest animal I've ever seen. He was the surrogate husband for his previous owner so it stands to reason I suppose, but good grief.



• The honey badger has been named the most fearless animal by Guinness Book Of World Records- here's why.



• I ate the first fresh blueberry I'd eaten in my life about 2 months ago- and have eaten 2 or 3 pounds since.



• I love Bob The Builder.



• Everyone should use what is called 24 hour time- it's ridiculous we should even discuss whether or not it should be adopted.


• The Taliban after much debate has been invited to peace talks- they have respectfully declined saying,"Why? We're winning." Sadly, they're correct.


• It's a crazy world we live in.
