“When a stranger wants to dig up a corpse…should you let him?” asks Marc Abrahams in this week’s Guardian column “Gravely Mistaken.”

Wired just interviewed Marc about his “IgNobel empire” (their words not mine.) Marc says there that England is one of the hotspots for improbable research so I’ll keep my eyes open.

And my camera charged.

In this photograph–early spring morning in Oxford.

Foreground–old graves run to clover, nettle, buttercup.

Across the road, modern shops and big red buses.
