50%!? That's amazing. I never need worry about the cost of buying diaper cakes again.

'I lingered round them, under that benign sky: watched the moths fluttering among the heath and harebells, listened to the soft wind breathing through the grass, and wondered how any one could ever imagine unquiet slumbers for the sleepers in that quiet earth.' ~ Emily Bronte

Maybe it is a multi-function cash machine that you can also kneel and pray, as well as do confessions.

It was a mystery to me. I think they are challenged in several ways there, but height is not one.

If I am not mistaken, that does appear to be a wheelchair access ATM. Doesn't it look like the lady is in a wheelchair?

That lady is Mike's wife, if I'm not mistaken, and she is certainly not disabled!  ;D

O, Paul, my dear friend Lena is in Beijing...

She is staying there (rented a room on the campus), doing research for her dissertation. Next month she'll be going to Shanghai. (And now she's down with flu, she just wrote to me...)

No photoshoppery here. That's Ganymede, one of Jupiter's natural satellites, and the largest of its kind in the solar system (well, if you don't count Titan's atmosphere), about to eclipsed by its parent planet.

This was taken by the Hubble back in April '07. Best viewed as large. Other sizes available here.
