We're all going to be smoshed by an asteroid in 2029. Or perhaps 2036. But the article quoted my old astrophysics lecturer, which tickled me.

This is the most amazing fifty-pence piece ever. It quotes from Johnson's Dictionary!

I've got one of those coins in my purse at this very moment :-) And I@m saving it to give to Eldest when I get home, as she likes collecting coins with different designs.

I got one commemorating women's suffrage today. I could start a collection 50p's. I wonder what happened to the EU one with the clasped hands—I kept it because it was the same as the one in The Queen's Nose. Have you come across that?
