That's quite a story. I'm not sure what to say. A kid whose life was destroyed by a couple of perverts is finally released from jail because he's dying of cancer. What a waste. Poor kid.

Not sure if this should be in the obituary section but....

The man who invented predictive text died last week.

His funfair is next Monkey

Shellfish are already perfect. Why mess with that?

I would report this, but I assume Ckn has already barred Farmduck.  And good riddence!

When eating, much of what we conceive to be "taste" is actually derived from our sense of smell.

 

According to Wikipedia, woodlouse urine gives off a particularly offensive odour.

 

I won't be drinking any of this:

Perhaps they get scared at the idea of being cooked.  Perhaps, it would be possible to genetically modify a woodlouse to be braver.  And larger.

If only she'd gone into cheerleading.

[Wolford6]

Yes, she'd probably be good at that as well.

I'm on a course this week.  They're certainly getting their money's worth out of us...  I'm supposed to be doing two hours of homework now before a 7:30pm reconvene and I'd much rather go to sleep or mess around on this forum...  I suppose I'd better do the responsible thing and start doing some.

Like many others I'm sick of "outrage journalism," but I think this ABC headline might be a sign that things are heading back in the opposite direction:  Number of cars on Melbourne roads rises with population growth.

For many years, I have occasionally worn woolly hats with a company logo. For some reason, over a period of an hour or two, the hat works its way round so that the logo is at the side of my head rather than at the front.

I'm driven to compliment you on this post. Words cannot express how completely devoid of interest I am in your predicament. Keep up the good work.

It's heard that if you look through one of your ears you can see all the way though to the other side.

For someone quick enough to take offence on behalf of other people you don't half make some crass comments.

It's only the hat that moves, not my eyes and ears.

 

It generally moves to the right.

There's wrestling on tonight at Wibsey Social Club.

Is your head stubbly and movement to the left is against the direction of your hair growth?

[Wolford6]

I think it's to do with my hair, but I've got plenty of it.

 

For years, I've asked the barber for "Number 3 on the sides and back; thinned and short on top"

Can you be sure the hat isn't staying still and you are slowly turning. Have you had your legs checked as one may be slightly longer than the other which would account for this issue?

I've been doing a lot of research about Aboriginal deaths in custody and learned one surprising fact:

 

The overall death rate in Australian prisons is lower than the national average.

 

Yes, you are safer in prison than sitting in your lounge watching TV.

Hardly surprising given the number of things trying to kill you in Australia. Being locked safely away in a cell has got to be a positive (assuming the bugs, beasts, snakes and other killers cannot find a way in...)

That must be really awful TV.
