The Age of Stupid Any Londoners have a couple of weeks to help us climb out of a quagmire of web, video & accounts tasks? Not minding spreadsheets or watching slow video uploads would help. Desire to help us move on to the more pressing task of getting together plans for COP15 - essential. Also good if you want experience in a small film production/campaigning org. Or just to help out Team Stupid. Email volunteer@ageofstupid.net.

The deal is, you buy a chance to enter the competition for £10.10p. You can buy as many chances as you like - but you also have to answer a question about Picasso's work. Each entry with a correct answer ...

change deniers have stolen a massive head start - let London's Science Museum know that you want to see strong action on climate change. (And examine the evidence if you still need any convincing.)

The Science Museum has examined the evidence. We're convinced climate change is caused by humans and requires urgent action. This December, 192 countries will meet in Copenhagen to agree a global plan for tackling climate change. ...

God?... you mean the 'Big Bang' I suppose? You mean us all, humankind? The Creation? Then I agree (just a quick reminder: God wasn't there to stop the Crusades, the Inquisition, the Hundred Years war, the Spanish genocide in Latin America, the killings of the Red Khmers or in Rwanda, Napoleonic wars, WW I and II and the Holocaust and all this crap - it's us alone who can do or undo things).
For the Bangkok clause, you have 100% support!

Man on Wire was good, but A.O.S. is not only good but truly important. Let's hope they attend the higher good!

The Age of Stupid Just re-watched the 55-min Making Of Stupid documentary on the Guardian website. Sums the whole thing up extremely well, even though there's (obviously) no mention of the Global Premiere or 10:10. Would we have started if we'd known then how damn hard it was going to be?? (Probably)
