That explains it

February 19th, 2010 Random

According to a trust worthy poll, by a reputable company in a reputable newspaper, or something like that, these are things women find attractive (bolding mine)

  1. Has facial stubble
  2. Is a bit geeky
  3. Has a hairy chest
  4. Avid book reader
  5. Cries at soppy films1
  6. Sings along to a song while dancing to it
  7. Grey hair
  8. Sweaty after workout2
  9. Wears glasses
  10. Has a passion for sports

That explains why my life is like a Lynx advert.

Has the internet taken the fun out of door-to-door fundamentalism?

January 26th, 2010 Random, Science

It’s just with the internet you get to see new and completely ridiculous defences of creationism, the people who show up at your door are still going on about the odds of abiogenesis and using God-of-the-gaps arguments.

And generally English fundies aren’t as openly mental as their US counterparts so trying to trick them into saying something offensive doesn’t work.

More annoying than my iron problem why is the material that makes 99% of my trousers key-proof, but the pockets – where I keep my fucking keys, is not?

Why so socialist?

August 5th, 2009 Random, Short

…is what these posters should’ve said but right-wingers aren’t even as funny as me, and that’s setting the bar pretty low.

Edit: a google shows lots of other people had this idea, hardly surprising, but makes the creators of the poster look even less witty.

This is definitely wrong

When I saw the first picture in this post I immediately thought ‘I hate Illinois Nazis’. (and at least I’m not as wrong as the guy with the sign)

(Not) on Twitter

March 24th, 2009 Internet, Random

I could just turn on comments on the blog, but then I’d have to manage them. 2 way communication takes effort, the nutbags in london who shout religious crap through megaphones have it right, a comment-less blog and no twitter is the lazy mans version of that
