Just googled him, he's that golfist.

I've just discovered that the disc someone from HP gave me at IPEX is actually a very powerful personalisation and imposition tool that can replace the current software I use, woohoo!

It would take 500 million pounds of peanut butter to cover the floor of the Grand Canyon, which happens to be how much Americans consume each year.

Today, I found out about the Heike crab.

In the 12th century the two main clans of Japan fought a massive battle. Many samurai were killed and the defeated nobility drowned themselves to prevent capture.

After the battle, locals feared to fish there and crabs were caught with faces on their shells. Those with "faces" were thrown back, and as a result of subsequent selective breeding we have the Heike crab.

It looks like a strange human face, agreed, but what I find more striking is that it has more similarity to a samurai mask, IMHO.

I would guess at the same thickness as it would be on toast, very subjective.

I doubt that. I would have thought that it has just taken you until today to realise that. ;)

Having tried it for the first time today, I've learnt that Mocha is a p!ss-poor substitute for a decent cup of coffee; or tea, for that matter.

I'd always dismissed it as another crappy fad drink. Turns out I was spot on.

Who'da thunk it?

Depends on where you buy it. If the base coffee is bad there is nothing you can do to save it.

Just been reading the paper and came across the term, vajazzling.

If you don't know what it is then look it up. NSFW!
