Got a picture of David Tennant sitting, lying down or in some indeterminate state in between? Then leave a link to it below or email me and if it’s judged suitable and doesn’t obviously infringe copyright, it will appear in the “Sitting Tennant” gallery. Don’t forget to include your name in the filename so I don’t get mixed up about who sent it to me.
The best pic in the stash each week will appear on Tuesday and get ten points; the runners up will appear on Friday (one per person who sends one in) and get five points.
Each month, I’ll name the best picture provider and then at the end of the year, the overall champion will be announced for 2012!

Someone’s built a MiG-31 Firefox
Remember Firefox, the Clint Eastwood movie about a thought-controlled, radar-invisible Soviet aeroplane that can fly at Mach 6?
Well, as is inevitable with these things, someone’s built a model and look, there it is flying. Sweet.
PS Yes, before you ask, there is a Microsoft Flight Simulator 2004 add-on as well.
