Saint Peter Watches Over G8

In a world full of wonders, it is but a small step from a fish called Saint Peter, to the town of St Petersburg, where the G8 is now being held. And joining the online readers today with a nice analysis of the G8 summit body language is Dr Peter Bull of York University (for BBC News). Well it's one for the money, two for the show... Apparently we need hardly listen anymore to what they say. Dr. Phil Peter shows us how we can read the state of interpersonal affairs from a couple of pictures. And I have to say, it really fits well with what I already felt. It's uncanny, just like when I had my hand read last year. Do we not simply project that which we like and expect?

While interesting, I'm not sure whether this BBC analysis doesn't say more about the people taking and choosing the pictures than it says about the people in them.

That massage thing was bizarre... Bush is a weird guy.

Selective evidence to prove a point? Do journalists do that?
