It's a question that has been asked, don't ask me by who, I don't know, but I'm sure it's been asked. Where are all those stars? All is explained in the nice image below.

Big News! There was a Huge earthquake here in the UK, many chimney stacks knocked of roofs. Pandemonium, as bricks hit the pavements when nobody was there. Some one could have been hurt.  Cars could have been crushed under the weight of 10 bricks. Oh yes, it was lethal some newts were woken up.

Yes, that's roughly how the media has reported it. but really nothing much happened, and yes, I did feel it last night, thought it was a rather big underground train (I live just over the northen line link between Kennington to Waterloo. so, wow!

For more information check what the BBC said.

Oh and yes, this has nothing to do with Global warming.

UPDATE:

Looks like earthquakes around the area of Mrket Rasen, there have been quite a few more over the past few years. Check out this link from the British Geological survey.

Yep, It's Animal, there on the drums! My All time favourite  muppets of the lot. Can't add much more!

One just wonders if they got a translater for getting the meaning in context. It may be perfect, it may be good for concentrations, it also may be a camp for the olympics. But putting those 3 words together just sends out the wrong message, so wrong, from a country we know still has these camps.

Well, I would have! I have no idea who advised these guys that Chat Masala was a good name for european translation. In Hindi it means 'to lick' so It's an appropriate name. However, it's not a good name to use if your going to translate into French. As per the packaging of Chat Masala in my local store. check the image.

So Chat Masala in French is Epices De Chat. This of course is so wrong, wrong in so many ways, To translate back to English you get Spices of Cat. I can't really think of a good translation, this is one lécher les épices, but that sounds rather gross.

Well, as mentioned somewhere before, I'm a fan of Dilbert. There are times when the great Scot Adam comes up with something that is, you know, just rings a true note.

So, best ignore pollsters as they know nothing.

The greatest Mime artist Marchel Marceau died today at the grand age of 84. so far here is no word as to how he died, but no doubt he has given up trying to get out of the box.. He was most famously know for Bip, pictured to the left. He created this character in 1947, for what reason, well I don't know, but you can read more about him here on his wiki page.

Suffice to say, He left this world without saying a word.

Family on holiday in Australia for a week and a half when husband, wife and their 15 year old son decided to go scuba diving. The husband is in the navy and has had some scuba experience.

His son wanted a pic of his mum and dad in all their gear so got the under water camera on the go. When it came to taking the pic the dad realized that the son look like he was panicking as he took it and gave the "OK" hand sign to see if he was alright.

The son took the pic and swam to the surface and back to the boat as quick as he could so the mum and dad followed to see if he was OK. When they got back to him he was scrambling onto the boat and absolutely packing it.

When the parents asked why he said "there was a shark behind you" and the dad thought he was joking but the skipper of the boat said it was true and that they wouldn't believe him even if he told them what it was. As soon as they got back to the hotel they put the pic onto the laptop and this is what they saw.

(Try and tell me you wouldn't have emptied your entire digestive system right at the point you saw it)

Would you have stayed to take the picture?!?

I haven't done them for, well ages, no I lie, I did one the other week, not really an exam, more a test to see if I had read some proceedures for the place I work. Nothing serious like A levels (never did) all those exams are way back. But that doesn't stop one from finding questions and answers that that come from these exams done by the younger folks.

This one here, somehow, I think the kid must be a bloke, a bit of a twat, and well, may not have a girlfriend, if he did, I don't think he'll have one now anyway!

There, that wasn't a hard question was it then?

One thing can be said, with reference to global warming and our role (Humans) in it can be understood, Even the native Indians a long time ago knew we had screwed up.

Just read on....

 
A few years ago someone browsing through the 40th Anniversary Issue of Reader's Digest (dated Feb. 1962) came across this reprint from the Washington News and found it quite interesting in light of our current debates.
 
The quote reads:
 
Vice President Lyndon Johnson received the following message from a Native American Indian Chief on a reservation:  "Be careful with your immigration laws.  We were careless with ours."
 
Native American Observation Recently an old Indian chief sat in his hut on the reservation, smoking a Ceremonial pipe and eyeing two U. S.  Government officials sent by the President to interview him.
 
"Chief Two Eagles" asked one official, "You have observed the white man for 90 years.  You've seen his wars and his technological advances You've seen his progress, and the damage he's done."
 
The Chief nodded in agreement.
 
The official continued, "Considering all these events, in your opinion, where did the white man go wrong?"
 
The Chief stared at the government officials for over a minute and then calmly replied, "When white man found the land, Indians were running it.  No taxes, no debt, plenty buffalo, plenty beaver, women did all work, medicine man free, Indian man spent all day hunting and fishing, all night having sex."
 
Then the chief leaned back and smiled.  "Only white man dumb enough to think he could improve system like that."

See, total fools we were, and one could say, that the current  US Government still don't listen to wise old men. Mad old men yes, not wise ones

Yes, just don't mess with good beer, you can mess with a Stella (shite in the UK) Anything else, but I think the folks at Carlsberg may have just taken it a step too far, but hell, it is a good beer and no you shouldn't mess with it...

There you have been warned, Don't put do it, if you do want to do it, make sure you don't back out to the road!

So, Bush is to have a colonoscopy on Saturday.

US President George W Bush will have a routine colonoscopy on Saturday, temporarily transferring power to the vice-president, the White House says.

Apparantly this isn't the first one he's had. That was done in 2002. Seems to match really, the 2002 ones was to plug Tony Blair in, and this one for 2007 is, you know, well, to make sure he gets out!

At least now some doc will be able to confirm the rumour that Bush is full of shit or not.

Yep, so what can I do about it, nothing really, just plod through the day and hope I get home safely this evening. Anyway, in the mean time, here are some fun images I found, I would put them under the banner, how things work.

Well, not really, I personally believe that it's the spawn of the devil, it's the worst thing that has ever ever come out from the Microsoft office stable. There is a fine art in how to do one, the video below, shows you many how not too's. I would say about 99% of the ones that I have seen have left me pretty darn close to comatose.

I will leave you to chuckle away at the video below....
