Weird New Animals Discovered in Ecuador

Way Out Tube Map
A new guide I've started using when visiting London is the excellent Way Out Tube Map which tells you which carriage to get on if you wanted to be nearest the exit or interchange. The map looks a little daunting at first but once you've figured out how to use it, it can save you quite a bit of time.
For those that prefer not to carry around a map, a similar guide is now available for the iPhone/iPod Touch. The Going Underground blog has videos of the app in action.
