Now here's a review worth reading:

It's sad they have to do this

So I'm in a coffee shop today and I notice that, as in many stores, there was a display of some of the drinks they have on offer.

As I'm walking past, I notice that there is a label on all of the bottles.

That's right - they have to put a label on the display bottles that stay out in direct sunlight, without refrigeration, that tells you "Hey, I'm not real juice. Please don't drink me. You might get sick". The stupidity of people in this world.

It wasn't the ring

Gollum's precious little regard for his health. 18/12/2004. ABC News Online - so it was malnutrition that drove him nuts.

I bloody knew this was going to happen.

My brother's birthday is tomorrow (damn near today, as I'm posting this, but hey). Sort-of-not-coincidentally, he's arriving from Scotland early in the morning tomorrow. Now, given that I'm currently on afternoon shifts, I am going to have a fair amount of a problem actually going to meet him at the airport due to my being a brain-dead sleep-deprived zombie if I do try to make it.

Now, I was talking to my parents about this, and they said that they'd try to let me know when my brother's flight was due, with the latest updates current as of when they went to bed. I asked them to email me, rather than SMS, as I have a distressing tendency to leave my phone in my bag, turned off, after getting home from work. I figured I'd be checking my email, though, so I asked them to email me. Okay. No problem.

I get home tonight, and check my email.

...connection timed out.

...connection timed out.

So now I am blissfully unaware of what's going on. Oh joy. Oh rapture.

Grrrrrr.

I've been having a look at a fun site called Grand Illusions - it's mostly a commercial site selling nifty illusion stuff, but there are a few freebies. My favourite is this little dragon - watch the video on that page to see what I mean. I've printed out the free template they've got there, but I don't trust my lame manual sk1llz to put it together. At least, not right now.

On another note, the last time I fired up w.bloggar, there wasn't a title bar, and I figured 'oh, bugger posting, I'll try and figure out where I went wrong later'. And so I fire it up again tonight and... there's a title bar.

Hmmmmmm.

Homestarrunner is loosing the plot (if it has not already done so).

Be Gone With the Wind

Dr Michael Levitt has been researching farts for many years. He is informally known as "The King Of Gas". Back in the 1970s, he talked in the New England Journal Of Medicine of the rise of what he hoped would be a new medical speciality - flatology. He pointed out several cases where analysis of the flatus gas composition had provided valuable clues to the patient’s diagnosis. He predicted that farts would become the "rightful province of both flatologists and scatologists".
