I was going to write an entry about trivial things, but instead I'm going to suggest that people watch this if you can find the time. It's about Albinism in Tanzania and it's interesting and horrifying.
"The Skin Trade"
It's interesting reading the comments left by people on the website. A lot of people seem to think that the Government intervening to put a stop to the practising of traditional magic (Witch Doctors and I guess their followers believe that Albinos have powerful magical properties, for those of you who haven't watched the video). Obviously if the Witch Doctors would refuse to work magic for people who come in with Albino parts (the Witch Doctor they spoke to basically said that he would use the parts and make the magic for someone if they brought them to him), and report them to the police, that would probably put an end to it, or at least slow it, perhaps faster than arrests would. It's pretty interesting.

Humanity, eh? I think - more on this later. Sleep now.
