Sorry, but that subject can be parsed two ways -- did any other .uk based
folks read it as "News of the World" transhumanist association and have a
serious moment of cognitive dissonance?

("The New of the World" is the sunday edition of The Sun, and is even
more downmarket than its' daily sibling, wich you can, ahem, experience at
http://www.thesun.co.uk/. We're talking newspapers for people with "MOM"
and "DAD" tatooed on their knuckles so that the zoo-keepers know who to
take them home to when they get lost. I exaggerate only a little ...)
