I'm not defending these berks, but even the competent folk bugger it up.

Some have genuine expertise in one area and think it applies universally. Lord Kelvin famously declared x-rays would be "proven as a hoax".

Being obscenely rich is taken as a proxy for genuine expertise, instead of luck.

You don't learn to swear until you learn how to program.

I just saw this joke and felt compelled to pass it on to you.

Never fight with an Italian baker, they'll beat the focaccia.

I was once told the circuits of the brain that form thoughts aren't necessarily the same ones that process them from an external source: e.g. reading, or hearing.

I have no idea if this is true or not btw.

I'm finding that my running habit is really starting to impact on my drinking though.

For anyone in doubt that I am into full mid-life crisis territory. This afternoon I have oddly found myself missing the era of the internet where your MSN status was lyrics of the latest song you were currently enamoured with.

werewolv.es Play Werewolf Online free in browser, no download needed. Based on the social deduction party game Mafia. Has 24 hour modes and 10 minute turbo games.

Shameless self promotion, but werewolv.es is my spin on the classic, games take place over many days though, which leaves plenty of time for ridiculous things like the Pollymorph potion which turns a player into a squawking parrot.

Squirrels cannot be reasoned with, and they cannot be stopped. They will not rest until the nuts have been scavenged.

DHH, a Danish immigrant living in the USA says that he once considered emigrating to London, but it's been ruined by immigration.

DHH clearly doesn't have a problem with immigration, as long as "it's the right kind".

At least he's not subtle.

Annoyingly and ironically (anronicly?), I'll be in London that day. Would have loved to catch it!

My biggest problem with the definition "2 pizza team" is that implies that my ideal team size is 1 person.
