Any requests for such absence should be made in writing well in advance to the appropriate person.

I hope the "announcers gaffes" thread doesn't take off as a long lived topic ( no offence Alistair ). One of the good things about this board is the absence of the presenter knocking threads that go on and on and on and on and on at TOP.

He felt an inexplicable pain in his soul, an aching sadness he could not explain. He had vowed to guide these proceedings with purity of soul and this hesitancy was something he could not deny.

We can therefore say that integral geometry in the sense of Santalo, is the application of probability theory (as axiomatized by Kolmogorov) in the context of the Erlangen programme of Klein. The content of the theory is effectively that of invariant (smooth) measures on (preferably compact) homogeneous spaces of Lie groups; and the evaluation of integrals of differential forms arising.

Polong is said to have been created from the blood of a murdered person and this blood is put into a bottle for one to two weeks before the spirit is invoked with incantations and magic spells.
After two weeks, the owner will start to hear sounds coming out of the bottle. It is the sound of crying. By then he should cut his finger and drain the blood into the bottle to feed the demon. This is the sign of allegiance and of loyalty to serve the master. The blood which feeds the demon is said to have tied both parties together: one as Master and the other as the servant.
No one has ever illustrated the figure of the demon but all agree that it is evil and hideous.

Smaller scale, and little known by comparison, but in its unambitious way hardly less fascinating, is N W Simmonds's monograph on bananas, a treasure trove of thought-provoking insights from a rather different perspective.

Doug stared hard at his cup of still-steaming coffee and the near-full ashtray on the desk in front of him. He knew he should quit, but also knew he wasn't likely to do so. It came with the job, just like the lonely nights with only a bottle of whisky for company, the endless hours, both of the divorces, and so on. But he knew to do this sort of work you have to be married to it, as well as living on the rough side of life. After all, that was the way you got into the mindset of the villains you're trying to nail.
