Firmly in favour of this. Bring on the beavers, I say. Cash could make a comeback.

@Nickiquote I can never remember how much a monkey and a pony are supposed to be, don't let's make it worse.

What about a Beaver *dressed* as Winston Churchill, though? One of a range of historical beavers.Florence Nightingbeaver: the beaver with the lamp, Beavdicea, Elizabeav 1: the virgin beaver, and so on.

I always though it was sarcasm having the man that caused the Great Depression on our money. -

@Nickiquote Which beavers though? There’s literally thousands of them, all wearing their woggles and swearing fealty to Lord Baden-Powell

@bencurthoys @Nickiquote I've just been down the bookies to put a monkey on a dog at Catford
(I think this is an antique Only Fools And Horses joke)

There's an early Dylan song, I Shall Be Free No. 10:
I set my monkey on a log
And ordered him to do the dog
He wagged his tail
And shook his head
And then he went and did the cat instead. -

@Bez_Lightyear “Oh look, a rare hairy tenner”.
@Nickiquote @Bez_Lightyear As opposed to a hairy tenor, which is more in Williams' and Hawtrey's territory.

I liked the Irish coins with animals on them. Apparently one priest strongly objected:
“If these pagan symbols once get a hold, then is the thin edge of the wedge of Freemasonry sunk into the very life of our Catholicity, for the sole object of having these pagan symbols instead of religious emblems on our coins is to wipe out all traces of religion from our minds, to forget the ‘land of saints,’ and beget a land of devil-worshippers, where evil may reign supreme”

@Nickiquote I mean, obviously I can see his point. The corrupting force of having a horse on your currency. Utterly shocking.

Considero valore il regno minerale, l’assemblea delle stelle.
Considero valore il vino finchè dura il pasto,

I’ve been offline all afternoon, as there is no pre-school in France on Wednesdays.
The red badge you see in my screenshot indicates the number of new replies / mentions I have had in the past 9 hours: 173!
Please be patient, I will try to reply to everyone as soon as my little one is asleep 😅
Oh and thank you for all your superb recommendations in response to my morning toot, I really appreciate!

@usul @lproven The backup servers were in another datacenter - another provider. And, more, the most critical ones were here, too 🙂

Dopo 35 anni la cerimonia Ig Nobel lascia gli USA. Le finanze e le politiche di Trump hanno determinato la decisione di spostare l'evento scientifico satirico in Svizzera
La 35a cerimonia di assegnazione del Premio Ig Nobel, che si terrà a Boston nel settembre 2025, sarà l'ultima negli Stati Uniti, almeno per ora. Quest'anno, l'amata parodia dei Premi Nobel per la scienza si terrà a Zurigo, dando il via a un cambiamento potenzialmente permanente nelle cerimonie ospitate in Europa.
È una mossa a cui Marc Abrahams, fondatore e maestro di cerimonia del Premio Ig Nobel e direttore della rivista di umorismo scientifico Annals of Improbable Research , "pensava da un po'" a causa delle difficoltà finanziarie e del desiderio di ampliare il team di pianificazione dell'evento, ormai invecchiato. Ma l'anno scorso, dice, l'idea "si è trasformata in qualcosa di molto diverso, molto più specifico e concreto, quando la situazione negli Stati Uniti ha iniziato a diventare folle".

Grazie a @MarcAbrahams per la segnalazione
