Quick Update

We're into the busy time now, as term is lurking right around the corner, so Friday Archaeology Blogging will be along at some point this weekend. In the meantime, here are a couple of notes:

• We have a lovely right-up over at Harper Valley, on account of having won Round 5 of Scout's "Famous Stupid People" contest! Many thanks to Scout, and if you're not familiar with Harper Valley, you should be!
  
  
• On a less happy note, I e-mailed Mark Bonokoski about the homeless man's dog being stolen, and he e-mailed me back to let me know that Trouble had still not been restored to its rightful owner. Not good.
  

Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em

Rogue animal activists stole Mike Costello's dog
By MARK BONOKOSKI

Detectives in 14 Division have launched a police investigation into a rogue animal rights group that stole a homeless man's dog and then wrote an anonymous and caustically worded letter bragging about its exploits.

The article's fairly depressing. What these idiots have essentially managed to do, in one fell swoop, is to do absolutely nothing, and I mean zero, for the protection of animals, to deal a nasty PR blow to legitimate animal-rights and animal protection groups (most of whom are working hard to get the guy's dog back for him), and to further fuck up the life of a completely innocent person who has enough worries as it is. Well done, assholes.
