With the sun making a rare appearance twice in the space of two days, I've been spending as much time as possible walking around some of the less well known parts of the town with camera in hand. Unfortunately this has meant putting the heavy stuff on hold for a couple of days - although the amount of walking done certainly adds up to a decent cardio session.

Roughly the length of two marathon courses in two days. Quite enough to ensure a good night's sleep afterward. Lest you think that's a long way to walk, however, take a look at one obese man's trek across the US.

A relaxing 12-15 miles, once again following the path of the Clyde.

Scientists at the University of Texas at Dallas have developed artificial muscles, which are powered by alcohol and hydrogen. These muscles, which are around 100 times as powerful as the body's own, could be used in exoskeletons in order to assist various professions : firefighters, those in the military, powerlifters.

For more info, have a read of the complete report (subscription - free abstract available) in the 17 March issue of Science magazine.

Here's a challenge - find a 290-300lb powerlifter with a diet that's been abysmal for decades and see if a leading nutritionist can sort him out. Dr John Berardi takes on Dave Tate.

I've added a wiki to this site. If you've never used one before, think of it as a set of pages that anyone can edit at any time. It can be a great way to share information - so share away!

Note : anyone can read the pages, but to add to them you'll need to create a login (there's a menu option when you go to the site). The current password is 'grinspoon' (an Australian band).

I usually post things like this on my Phototalk site, however it's particularly relevant here. A book publisher is currently seeking photos of a 19th century family portrait, as well as a modern-day one showing a similar pose.

If you happen to have any that fit the bill, they could be worth money; so let me know.
