I clicked the merch link and have a question. Why is the discount code "FIFTEENYEARS"? The site is 21 years old and it surely hasn't been 15 years since we were dumped by Auntie Beeb. Curious.
Maybe it's a sitewide code for Zazzle. Is Zazzle 15 years old?

The h2g2 Post is up at A87996956, with wonders to behold.
Okay: first, about the videos. One features live badger action from Websailor's garden! The next has live action from inside the Post Office, as Molly and TJ take on the new cat toy. It's a fish, it flops convincingly. That is the most realistic fish I've ever seen. The third requires an excuse - er, explanation. FWR is anti-cabbage white butterfly, because their caterpillars ate his cauliflower. His hating on them inspired my epic polka, 'Stay Out of My Halupke, Cabbage White', which you can hear here. With butterflies dancing. You don't get this kind of entertainment anywhere else on the web, you know that, right?
Robbie Stamp raises the tone of the issue considerably with his high-class haiku and swallow art photo. Appreciate, you philistines.
There are funny signs.
There is beaucoups animal action.
There are tomatoes. Tomatoes will continue to be featured whenever photographed. We are connoisseurs of tomato photography.
There is humour, cinema, snark, and Deep Stuff.
There's a preview of the November Post writing project called 'Holes in History'. See if you're inspired to join in. This is the chance to write that novella you've been contemplating all year. The project is historical this time.
Enjoy!
