The Dilbert Blog: Homo Erectus
I was reading an article about the little hobbit-like creatures discovered in Indonesia. I couldn’t help notice that the article uses the abbreviation “H. Erectus” instead of the full name Homo Erectus. This is presumably to prevent jokes about why we don’t see any of them around these days.

Ya it’s automatic… as far as I can see, Ma.gnolia is like a del.icio.us clone but with some nice bells and whistles. I’m only trying it out at the moment because for some reason I didn’t like del.icio.us. I did botch the postings a bit initially, but I like this auto-posting feature - it would be a lot better if I wrote in descriptions and ratings for each entry. A couple of bits and pieces could be improved on (for example, they allow you to insert the date in any field using @date, and they let you select a few different ways in which the date can be displayed, but I can’t see any way of setting European format).
