    Headset harmony: 3D tech helps 80s hero.

    They are cool headsets. I didn't have the tool but managed to avoid any damage by gripping it through very thick leather (with slip-joint pliers I think).

    Humanity's 10 greatest inventions: the other 9?

    Quorn sausages are not what they used to be. They’re so good they taste like a low-quality pork sausage ….to an easily pleased/desperate veggie, that’s a very good thing indeed. I love ‘em.
