Just a question FD, If Penny Sackett was made Chief Scientist in 2008, would that make you the second dog on the moon?
And Robin Batterham, whilst certainly a part-time chief scientist, did manage to fill his days. When he wasn’t working in the interests of the Australian people he was employed by Rio Tinto and no, of course this wasn’t a real or percieved conflict of interest. I know it wasn’t cause that’s what Robin said.

I should have seen ‘stop the oats’ coming.
Excellent lab equipment again, by the way.
The Labor party have just unveiled the local candidate for the coming election. And guess what? He IS one of the new generation of enormous, sentient cobs of corn.
There’s a kernel of truth in every Firstdog cartoon.

EMC -BOOM tish.
Meski, some of my best friends wear a singlet inside – so that that scratchy label on the back of their underpants doesn’t bother them too much. Now some might say that they should just cut the label off, but I mean, where would they put their names on if there was no label ? Oops – might have revealed too much here ……
Genetic everything. I thought Mon Santa was the start to a yuletide French letter.
He wore a singlet? That explains a lot.
Is that an Ewok or Paddington bear?
