The Internet isn't just about showing off, apparently, it's also about sharing. Here then are last week's highlights from my various feeds.

There's been progress in the world of 'Frankenstein' foods (why do they think that name makes them sound less appealing?). Apparently the US may be about to approve clones as food, which must have given Dolly some anxious moments. Meanwhile, pasta is going to cost more, because they're turning half of it into biofuels. Frankly I don't see why they can't just liquidise clones and pour them into car engines, and leave our spaghetti in peace.

Talking of blood sucking corporate ghouls, Google have bought an email security firm. Presumably it's so they can stop Chinese people emailing each other about democracy as well. On the Godly side of the fence, meanwhile, Catholics are worried that Tony Blair's first confession may take a little time, and the new Creationist Museum in Kentucky turns out to have been built on the site of some of the world's most interesting fossils.

Non-surprise of the week goes to the Rutherford-Appleton Laboratory, who have shown that gobal warming isn't down to changes in the sun. In further shocking news, it turns out the sun didn't kill half a million Iraqis and steal their oil either.

Brilliant idea of the week, though, has to be this, again from the BBC website. Yes, it's vertical farms. Sometimes you come across an idea you know will never ever happen, but the sheer joy of the concept is almost enough in itself.
