The lunatic ninja 'roo
WANTED"An Australian couple thought they were being attacked by an intruder when a kangaroo crashed through their bedroom window and started jumping on them. "My initial thought, when I was half awake, was it's a lunatic ninja coming through the window. It seems about as likely as a kangaroo breaking in," Beat Ettlin told local media on Monday. The three metre (9 feet) kangaroo smashed through the window in Ettlin's Canberra home on Sunday night. "
Full story here.

"Revolution is an act of love; we are the children of revolution, born to be rebels. It runs in our blood."Iain Sinclair
Novelist, film maker & psychogeographer Iain Sinclair talks to 'The Guardian' here about his new book 'Hackney, That Rose-Red Empire: A Confidential Report''BBC' interview here.
When I was living in London back in the late 70's & early 80's I used to buy books regularly from Iain Sinclair at his stall down in Camden Walk.
In my opinion he is truly one of the greatest novelists writing today as well as being a really decent bloke. When his first novel 'White Chappell,Scarlet Tracings' was published a copy was actually sent out to me here in Australia by the late, lamented Mike Hart from Compendium.
William Gibson has said that Sinclair is his favourite author.
If you haven't read any of his books (and you don't mind some intellectual stimulation) then I heartily recommend his work:
