Bah what a time to get sick. Day off from work, and a party to go to tonight. I blame YOU. Yes that’s right I can see you while you’re reading this. Now go get me a coffee to say sorry.

Friday, August 21st, 2009Mathematicians Crunch The Hard Numbers
Thursday, August 20th, 2009It’s good to know that those crazy maths boffins are looking into the problems that affect us the most. An elite team of mathematicians in Canada have crunched the numbers and have concluded what would happen should there be a zombie attack.
They have decided that if zombies do start attacking, then we have to shoot them all in the head quickly or we’ll be living in the real 28 days later.
Zombies - deadlier than you think

Bra Is Toolbox?
Wednesday, August 19th, 2009Came across this little instructional on Youtube. Maybe it will encourage more females to become a tradie. More likely it will encourage guys to stare.
Han Shot First – A Request
Saturday, August 15th, 2009Han Shot First. That’s all there is to say. In the original Star Wars cinema release, Han Solo shot Greedo in the cantina before he could shoot Han. Lucas later digitally added Greedo firing a shot at Han that he couldn’t possibly miss but did (wildly). He did this because he thought kids might get the wrong idea. The truth is Lucas had the wrong idea and did not have his recommended daily intake of 1 teaspoon of concrete. In 2006 Lucas finally released the unedited original cinema release that had Han shooting first. Click to continue »
‘Utegate’ Saga Continues
Tuesday, August 11th, 2009Reading my headline you may be thinking “Ooh he’s going to discuss that OzCar scandal thing.” You would be dead wrong. In fact the saga I refer to is the bastardisation of the English language by some poor excuse for a tabloid journalist that for some reason continues to grab headlines. I can only imagine they had this thought process:
- This is a possible scandal.
- Watergate was a huge political scandal in the United States.
- Maybe I can add ‘gate’ to the end of ‘Ute’ to make this sound more significant than it really is. Maybe people will pay attention to my hyperbolic journalism now and ignore the fact I don’t really have any legitimate sources. This is the best idea I have ever had. Hand me my Pulitzer now.
Pretty sure I have nailed that one right on the head there. Not only was ‘Utegate’ not a scandal, but it turned out to be completely fake. Now, for some reason, overzealous Labor party supporters want the head of the opposition kicked out of his position for the rabble when really it was piss poor journalism that blew it all out of proportion. In my opinion you would do the country a greater service by slapping the journo who penned the term ‘Utegate’ over the back of the head and making them sit in the corner with a dunce’s cap for everyone to see.
