How many angels can dance on the head of a pin?

Can anyone actually define the shape of a potato?

Amazing fact.

No two potatoes are the same...

and yet most chips are similar.

JJ has a good website where he recommends an interesting variety of films.

Earlier Today...

'the game'

remember it is meant to be a spurious news-type story!

Earlier
Today

Some little time ago, I invented the following game. Taking it in turns to say one word each but without ever ending the sentence, one concocts a spurious 'news' story starting with the words "Earlier Today..." Let's see how it goes in today's game, I will start and anyone can join in at any point, just keep in mind that you are only allowed to write one word and that the person who ends the sentence is the loser!

Earlier
today,

as in "doing housey things" which I leave as my 'status' on Yahoo messenger (YM).

I managed to grab a free 'bag for life' at my local Sainsbury's today. I don't know if this was a UK-wide promo or just local to me, but it's quite a chunky bag and is sure to get a fair bit of usage.

As soon as it develops a hole you simply show up at the supermarket and they replace it, so everyone's a winner!

Pay particular attention to item #24

In the UK you have to work out the length of the longest side of a right-angled triangle where the two shorter sides are 3 and 4.

In China, it's not quite so straightforward.

Alec Holden's secret?

"...it is important not to worry about anything, do as little work as possible, and go on lots of holidays. "

I thought I'd start a new trend on BCUK by publishing an image of a fluffy bunny. If you do anything similar on your blog, please let me know. Let's see who's keeping up with the super-trendies.

Someone told me that if I put a fluffy bunny on my blog I'd make lots of new friends.

Some of you may have already seen this website which features American-Chinese actor Eric, who poses for all sorts of weird and wonderful photos as he expresses the whole gamut of human emotion.

(You have to click items on the left-hand side of the website which scrolls right down).

Wouldn't it be funny if for 24 hours all of the emails you sent, were sent to the wrong people?

It's always a nightmare to think that you might be sending 'authorised information' to one party which is 'classified' from someone else.

This will almost certainly be true if your friends and family are anything like mine trying to keep a gazillion secrets from each other all of the time.

I have an Uncle who calls it a blogue. I occasionally call it a bolge.

However, surely an 'a'log is better than a 'b'log?

People might think that I'm 'here'. Well, I cannot totally dispute that, I am here at this split second.

However, if I stay 'signed in' to this page and yet do a-hundred-and-one other activities simultaneously, am I really still 'here'?

Let's just say the Scientists are working on it.

2 B ? X 2 B !

Could I just say that if you're going to send my Ping in 15 minutes that kind of behaviour just isn't acceptable. I expect my Ping to be sent instantaneously. Are we living in the 19th Century or something when messages were sent via letter, envelope and penny postage and/or via telegram?

People (esp. on here, but everywhere) say "I'm Bored, I'm Bored..." (I suppose I've even said it myself before now).

Does the panel think that there could be some sort of Boredom scale i.e. use such words as:

Bored, Lonely, Miserable, Deflated, Defeated, Mildly Unamused, At one's wits end, Suicidal, Having a bad hair day, etc.

Thus one could rate one's boredom (as everything else on the interweb seems to get rated) from zero to ten.

This looks like an easy-to-use site for photo re-sizing.

You have to read the list backwards though (for it to make sense).

Do you do meetings? Can you name one constructive thing ever to come out of a meeting? How time-efficient is a meeting?

"And that, Jasper, is more or less the way things are in the hood..."

Now we're on to "Wordie"!

Has anyone seen this yet? I might be going on Saturday but it's a flip of a coin as there is a (quite) good Classical concert on at the QEH as well that evening.

If any of you are chatting (via a chat facility) with a Chinese friend trying to pick the language up, try ending the conversation with either 88 or 886. I am not joking (for once). Apparently, this really means 'goodbye' or 'au revoir' or something.

Today has been distinctly blah
So far...

Plasticine in its raw state. I want some of this stuff!
