- Video of Julian Assange being taken into custody - I'm wondering what the book he was holding was, and also does he have hands that are different colours or is he wearing a rubber glove on his left hand? That would be very wierd because last night I turned one of my rubber gloves (right hand) inside out to dry it out (possible leak). And of course importantly if the full beard no mustache look is now going to be in vogue, and lastly what do infinite improbability drives look like because there just has to be one laying about somewhere
