Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Are aging rock superstars like Paul McCartney and the Rolling Stones timeless or too old to perform on stage anymore?

11 of 38

In my mind, this debate shouldn't simply revolve around whether the artists mentioned can still hack it in the world of music, but whether they should. Both the Rolling Stones and Paul McCartney have, in the last twenty years or so, abandoned most of the principles which made them so important in the first place - the Stones... More..

Religion & Spirituality > Religion & Spirituality (Other) Should one's faith influence a citizen's vote?

39 of 126

The idea of faith, unfounded, unreliable and superstitious, influencing global geopolitics is such an awful thought it turns my stomach. Those who decide who to vote for based on notions on faith and/or religion are surely allowing personal reflections on life to stand in the way of important issues; quite often, religious b...

Sciences > Sciences (Other) Daylight Saving Time explained

6 of 17

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is, to many, a bizarre concept. While living in Paris, Benjamin Franklin first suggested that the populace should be awaken by cannon to make the most of the early sunlight, saving money on candles.

Entertainment > Movie Reviews Movie reviews: Man on Wire

3 of 5

Man on Wire is not simply a post-911 film about the World Trade Centre; neither is it merely a monologue about adventure, thrill and danger for its own sake; it is, fundamentally, an ode to the unknown, a graphic realisation of the void (literally, between the towers) of meaning that exists at the root of ambition.

The world's first time zone was established by British railway companies on December 1 1847. It was based on Greenwich Mean Time, the standardised time for the British Isles that was established, with the creation of the Royal Observatory, to help mariners work out longitude while at sea (Britain's power at the time was base...

Arts & Humanities > History (Other) The history of the International Date Line

4 of 5

The International Date Line (IDL) is an invisible marker that runs along the meridian of 180 degrees longitude and signals the point at which the date changes. If you are travelling east and cross the IDL, you will lose a day, and if you are travelling west you will gain a day. The date line first began to find significance ... More..

Politics, News & Issues > Presidential Elections 2008 Sarah Palin: Gifted communicator or eternal gaffer?

48 of 59

After she was announced as John McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin barely went a day without making some kind of verbal slip-up. In fact, her interview with Katie Couric has already become the stuff of legend; derided by commentators as being misguided, ill-informed and, at times, downright wrong, her struggles to justify he...
