Science Shock: CO2 is Good for the Planet, Peer-Reviewed Studies Suggest Tue Dec 24, 2024 09:00 | Chris Morrison
Dramatic evidence has been published in a number of recent science papers that CO2 levels are already?'saturated', meaning little or no further warming is to be expected and rising CO2 levels are all beneficial.

Whoever Rules Britain Is Going to Be Unpopular Tue Dec 24, 2024 07:00 | Noah Carl
It isn't so much that the Tories are getting more popular as that Labour is getting less so. Which illustrates a more general predicament for the Tories and any other party that might have aspirations to government.

Can Science Tell Us the Meaning of Life? Mon Dec 23, 2024 19:54 | Dr David Bell
At Christmas time, Dr David Bell reflects on what has true value in this world, the limits of science to tell us what that is and what a baby in a manger might have to say about it.

I fear it might have gone to better use on President Shrub's desk, however, I imagine it might be tough to get through customs. Well done ladies!
actually moving the shite over to the flowers ourselves worked better in the end; the very distinct aroma of shit that usually emminates from the offices of the powerful elite was met with the somewhat sweeter natural 100% organic flower fertilising version. and the tulips were delighted. if we'd left it it would've been mindlessly landfilled no doubt.
Anyone remember the motion in Killarney to have the horses wear nappies as they ferry the tourists around? the day may come...
nothing is too ludicrous for the office monkeys.
It was a really positive, inspiring, energetic day. More women and children the better I reckon!
Looking forward to more unmanagability.

Now that's been sorted for you Leila. If hygene is your real concern and not comfy first world cynicism maybe you coul start addressing the tactic of U.S. Naval & Air Force bombardment over Iraq.
Harvard University claims that the U.S. Navy & Air Force purposely targetted water treatment and sewage treament works knowing by bombing them, they would unleash plagues of gaestro, cholera & typhoid.
Sounds like germ warfare to me!
The picnic occured before the horseshit.
the horseshit was the icing on the cherry-cake.
The dancing occured during the horseshit (and after)
all those stinky hands......
(another two actions coming soon..........)
You sound like a dreadfully boring cop to me....
A childs picnic after handling a mound of shit? Sounds dreadfully unhygienic to me.
I was very disappointed that we had to remove the 'shite' from its rightful place on the doorstep of the US Embassy. Like many others I believe it should have remained.
Guards approched us on the Green about an hour later and told us we would be charged under the Litter Act. We asked if he felt the US Government would consider removing their depleted Uranium from Afghanistan, Iraq and other countries. We were told this was Irish soil, so we then enquired that being so as a neutral country, why the US were landing their Warplanes in Shannon and Baldonnel. He had no answer and walked off.
Some of those amongst felt the flowers were more worthy of this gift. The Litter Act... Posters banned in Dublin, What next? Will they be fining the horses on Stephens Green or even the Guards... Come to think of it Stephen's Green is nice and close to Kildare Street.....
Revolt Video of the day coming soon.....
Cheers to all present. A great day was had by all...
A really creative and eyecatching event! Should be more of this. The horseshit should certainly be used more often. Well done all!!
Looks like a great day! Wish I could have made it along,
I was there in spirit.

... at the US embassy, it was back to the picnic for those who had the stomach for it. Passing Dev's cross on the way back we noticed its bare base! The Unmanageable ladieezz were shocked at such a public display of nudity - none of us wishing to gaze at Dev's bare plinth, glinting at us in the sunlight with a lascivious gleam. For the sake of modesty and public decency (Dev was big into those) a skirt was procured and wrapped around the offending member. Order restored, we posed happily. Then returned once again to our guests from Revolt video (who had found the balloons) ... and our sandwiches with the crusts cut off ... and our peppermint tea on the lawn...
As one does...

After the initial 'meet and greet', we strung some of the banners in front of Dev's cross and held the others for the amusement of passing motorists. Food was laid out and the kids were six deep at the box of chocolate biscuits. (None for me so).
The 'Walls of Limerick' was performed along with some unrecognisable dances and a lot of freestyle jumping around. No injuries to report so I'd call it a success.
"I've got a bag of horse shite in me car," is not a normal greeting. But one of our resourceful (and highly Unmanageable) women made good on that claim and even suggested a use for it...

And At The Embassy
Horse Shite - Glad That's Not My Banner!
The very respectable garda, on duty came over to have a polite word in our ear about removing the steaming pile of horseshit from in front of the American Embassy. apparently it is not illegal to drop a banner saying
'US Assurances on rendition flights' and cover it in s****, but it is illegal to leave it there and walk away, (under littering laws). thus a sub-committee had to be formed to remove the smelly substance and bring it to the tulip beds at the crossroads.The flashing was unintentional, but I've never seen a leer like that on a Garda's face. The kids had great fun, thanks everyone!!!!!
I hope to see more images up on the site and in other places over the next few days.
More photos please.
