In Ireland stands a lone Hawthorn, carefully fenced. Do not approach. Bad things will happen if you disturb a fairy tree.
Indeed. Roads are diverted to avoid upsetting the fae. There's obviously a completely mad side to it but isn't it nicer to meet a culture that worships the land that they're part of rather than a faceless, feckless Sky Boss who issues imaginary orders through paedophiles and murderers?

The best bit about that article is the guy is called Russell and the dog is called Bill

I have a lot of sympathy for this guy, as I've had major problems with my thumbs, and console gaming was very likely the major culprit. In fact, I'm surprised that this kind of injury is not more widespread, though it is likely that only a small number of people will be affected so badly at such a young age - but I will not be surprised if there is a huge number of people find that their hands are buggered by the time they reach their 40s.

I've always blamed the piano for my clicky knuckles, nowadays it's quite painful to play a mechanical one for more than an hour or so at a time. I should have been more sympathetic too.

I blame Metal Gear Solid. I couldn't even hit the button fast enough to pass a section. Had to have someone else do it.

Did dinosaurs beat man to the moon. Maybe their bones did.
Dinosaurs on the Moon? Asteroid Impact May Have Thrown Dinosaur Bones Onto the Lunar Surface
Jocelyne LeBlancJanuary 24, 2021
According to a book called “The Ends of the World” that was written by an award-winning science journalist named Peter Brannen, dinosaurs may have beat humans to the moon – or at least their bones may have. An excerpt of Brannen’s book was recently shared on Twitter by a blogger named Matt Austin.
We all know that the dinosaur-killing asteroid that struck the Earth about 66 million years ago was incredibly massive, but was it powerful enough to send pieces of the dinosaurs into space? According to Brannen, the answer is yes.
He claimed that since the asteroid sent up large volumes of earth into space, it’s very possible that “bits of dinosaurs” were mixed in with it. And since the soil that was flung into space landed on the moon, it’s very plausible that the pieces of dinosaurs went with it, therefore, dinosaurs made it to the lunar surface millions of years before humans.
Did the asteroid impact send dinosaur remains onto the moon?
In his book, he described that when the asteroid impacted Mexico’s Yucatán Peninsula, it was speeding towards Earth approximately 20 times faster than a speeding bullet. It read in part, “This is so fast that it would have traversed the distance from the cruising altitude of a 747 to the ground in 0.3 seconds.”
It went on to read, “As the asteroid collided with the earth, in the sky above it where there should have been air, the rock had punched a hole of outer space vacuum in the atmosphere.” “As the heavens rushed in to close this hole, enormous volumes of earth were expelled into orbit and beyond — all within a second or two of impact.” And when Brannen posed the question, “So there’s probably little bits of dinosaur bone on the moon,” geophysicist Mario Rebolledo from the Centro de Investigación answered with, “Yea, probably.”
Scientists did reveal what they believe happened during the impact. When the asteroid struck Earth, it left a gigantic crater (called the Chicxulub crater) and upon impact it sent massive amounts of carbon dioxide as well as sulfur into the atmosphere. At that point, the sun would have been blocked by a major dust cloud, probably causing an immediate “nuclear winter” as temperatures on Earth would have dropped dramatically in addition to acid rain falling to the ground.
