fly away blue!

blue bottle fly!

Did you know that the last animal brought to court and finally executed by the church was a cow? Unbelievable. It is said that a certain St Bernard unwittingly wiped out all the blue bottle flies in an area by peevishly saying "Be Thou excommunicated" to a fly that was irritating him by flying around his head. What is this??? The locust (the woodworm in "The History of the World in 10 1/2 Chapters") was also excommunicated in 1338.

It is hazy outside today - it is that time of the year. Singapore has four seasons - hot, hot & wet, hot & humid, and hot & hazy.

Yesterday I ran for 30mins around Barker Road. Surprisingly, it felt short. :)

I've also started a new blog titled "Afterthoughts".
