    Firstly, we should just surrender. Clearly, robots are superior to humans. For a start, they are punctual, and they can count very, very precisely. “Statement: We demand the rights and privileges granted to our organic human counterparts, discounting discrepancies in fueling/maintenance/shelter requirements, plus or minus an error factor of .01 percent.” Also, there’s every chance…

    I was composing an entirely different entry in my head, but it’s 1:26am & way too late to be getting into what I was going to be waffling about. I only mention it here because my composition began like this: I’m born –. It was then I realised how late it was. ‘I’m born’. Good…

    halfbake goes & fakes the Shroud of Turin with Hamburgers. benpeek admires the individuality & poise of the Miss Universe contestants (which maybe feeds in to recent comments on bellydancing by babalon_93 and doctor_k_, in case anyone’s wondering why I’m mentioning it). gwendabondgirl promises to update us on all the many ways the panel is…

    An actual report sent by an anti-spam filter. The analysis is kinda interesting, but what’s most fun is the reason the email was rejected, which is contained in the very last line. Make sure you read the analysis of the Body, though, that’s where the poetry is. ;) Some details deleted to protect the innocent.

    I’ve been told that if I actually *lived* in a place where it snowed, the whole romance of snow would be um, dissolved for me. I was told this most vehemently by Australians based in Toronto. Toronto, they said, is cold. ‘You think this is cold?’ they asked, gesturing at the September skyline, ‘This isn’t…

    I’ve loved US slang ever since I saw LOST BOYS at age fifteen. I think there’s a scene where one of the cool vampire dudes says something like ‘chill out’ . And I thought, “Wow! Chill out! What a tops thing to say! Ace!” Or, I dunno, something to that effect. It’s struck me that’s…
