lethargic_manBBC News online today carried a piece about detecting ancient Middle-Eastern settlements by scouring satellite images.
The researcher behind this was called Dr Ur.
You couldn't make it up!
In other news, it's occurred to me that while the government spent much of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries grappling with the problem of Irish autonomy in the form of the Irish Question, the issue of Scottish autonomy in recent years has been dealt with concerning a much smaller piece of land, in the form of the West Lothian question. Do you think by the middle of this century they'll be debating the Three Square Yards of Mid-Glamorgan question? ;^)
