A daily dose of odds and sods, some interesting, some bizarre, some funny, some thought provoking items which I have stumbled across the web. All to be taken with a grain of daily salt!!

China to raise three "squadrons" of starlings in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region
Biological warfare with a starling air force on locusts. And no, I dont mean the private equity players in Germany, but the real live locusts. Pretty neat, and I am sure countries ranging from North Africa to China would appreciate having some more squadrons of starlings to take care of these absolutely voracious insects. I have seen this swarm once and they are like nothing I have ever seen. Utterly destructive to agriculture and can ruin local economies in a jiffy.
