@Cassie ST: It’s good to know that we agree about something!
Now, about those whales… [ducks]@Emma: If doctors are 5 years behind in keeping their waiting rooms filled with magazines, imagine how up to date they might be with the latest medical breakthroughs! “You seem to have a case of the dropsy, milady.”

I should also pass on this little snippet… Even though I’m getting a tiny amount of flak for The Heath Ledger Experiment, Crikey went further by headlining yesterday’s email edition “The Bulletin does a Ledger.
