Away with the fairies 151017

Very miscellaneous.

• . . . or the pixies Here comes your man.
• The bloke who invented QI [prev] talks to our own Ryan Tubridy on the wireless.
• This is a lovely, blokey, portagey, buggy 1000km trip across Canada to Hudson Bay by canoe. You may imagine these boys were well fit at the end of their month on the water.
• From canoe to Cannes - danse festival snippets
• Arts? so singing: Dietrich Bonhoeffer's - Von guten Mächten
• Cliff Stoll [prev] shows how he does real science (and crap-detecting) with kids. Tribbing David Hilbert whose epitaph is Wir müssen wissen / Wir warden wissen
• Matt Parker calls out some Arts Block bureaucrats for thinking a mathematically impossible picture of a football is good enough <tsk!>. 
• Nifty trucking of a load of long logs.
• Basque log-chopping - don't forget the steel-caps.
• Exclaves and enclaves, mappy complexities all over the world.
