Whoever said women are from Venus and men are from Mars got it right. How did I just end up in an argument about where my shirts should live?
I’d just got back from waking the dog and started to prepare the BBQ for tonight’s dinner:-
Sue: “Before you do that, I’ve sorted all of your shirts out and I want you to go through them and tell me which ones you want”
me: “All of them”

DIRTY bombs are nowhere near as dirty as some of the stuff you can get on cable, home secretary Jacqui Smith said last night.
Ms Smith said that while the terrorist weapons could spread radiation over wide area they paled in comparison to pay-per-view classics such asSpermaholics, the Texas Vibrator Massacre and Big Wet Asses 14. In a keynote speech on security and immigration, Ms Smith said that...

According to undercover investigations by human rights’ groups, the police, judiciary and doctors are all involved in making millions from China’s huge trade in human body parts. Inside each ‘death van’ there is a dedicated team of doctors to ‘harvest’ the organs of the deceased. The injections leave the body intact and in pristine condition for such lucrative work. After checking that...

Philip Nicosia on how a local Apple service engineer fixed his mighty mouse:
All he did was get a blank piece of white photo-copying paper, turned the mouse upside down and vigorously rubbed the scroll wheel across the paper up and down and from side to side for about 30 seconds. End result. 1 fixed Apple Mighty Mouse.

Dear music tumblrs,
If you’re concerned about universal et al, just do video posts and kill older audio posts (strike-through out the title, replace the song with a link to tumblr.com). That’s what other music blogs do—put an expiration date on posted audio.
Or: reblog every music post you find on tumblrs you follow. More people the RIAA has to go after. After a while, it...

America may be witnessing the return of an old-fashioned version of populism, driven by economic anxiety and directed at economic interests. The people who gave the name to “populism” in the late 19th and early 20th centuries were worried about a prolonged agricultural depression and furious at the vested interests in Wall Street and Washington who, they thought, were responsible for...

Well, let’s not misquote the man. He’s not saying that riots are good and that we need more of them, he’s saying that the lack of a really public, confrontational, street-level fuss about the financial crisis indicates a larger social dysfunction where people are...

Folks,
Anyone fancy finding the craziest internet church out there that has titles and postions, and getting us all ordained?
My idea, so I want first dibs on being the Cardinal or Assistant Pope.
Any suggestions on where to look?
I’m in, and no…
Popes are like arseholes. Anybody can be one.
