Another shorty
There's a row here about the university having invested (massively) in the weapon industry. But we're in good company: Trinity in Cambridge, St. John's in Oxford and King's in London appear to have been doing the same. Anything similar happening at UCL or UCU or possibly Amsterdam, Leiden, Rotterdam, Groningen, Maastricht, Enschede or wherever?
A note on my work for the museum (today was spent labelling and cataloguing the bones) Maybe rhinos and elephants in Devon make perfect sense to you. Maybe they don't. So, here's some (tiny bit of) more information: the bones were found underneath a new motorway bypass (the A30) near Honiton, a town east of Exeter, in 1968. They date from the pleistocene (ca. 30,000 yrs. ago/BC/doesn't matter), when now and then (during the interglacials) the North-West of Europe had a warmer climate and Britain was not cut off from the continent. And then you get the "Ze lopen gewoon met me mee"/"The boy who was followed home"-effect...
