  1. I did that test where you accidently leave some on your finger tips and then an hour later you rub it into your eyeball.
  2. I've been drying chillis out in the oven and bashing them into chilli flakes. They're good. How do I know?
  3. @Wil_Anderson There's a sign like that near my house: Only Wil Anderson Can Prevent Wildfires. It's a lot of pressure on your shoulders...
  4. @Rove A few more takeaway sushis and you should have built enough resistance to tackle a hotdog from the rotating warmer at the local servo.
  5. Crysis 3 is set in a New York that has been overrun by jungle, swamps, and probably some bad people too - oh yeah! au.pc.ign.com/articles/122/1…
  6. @GreggHurwitz I totally disagree with the study. Without plot you've just got a description of a landscape with some people walking around.
  7. "Ho Ho Horror" (feat. the twisted "Let It Snow" by me) is now on @bookdepository (so fast and free shipping!): bit.ly/ILhm7J
  8. I'm thinking of running for Emperor Of The World. This is one of my election promises. Vote Sam.
  9. That should cut the work days down to about 7 per year, and then there'll be no confusion as to when public holidays are on, and not.
  10. I think the only sensible solution is to combine all of the world's public holidays, and celebrate them in every country.
  11. While the rest of your fellow countrymen are drunk before 10am, the rest of the world is wondering why you're not answering emails.
  12. The problem with running an internet business is there is no such thing as public holidays.
  13. @GreigBeck My money is on them unleashnig a prehistoric virus that wipes out Antarctica, leading to a permanent continental quarantine.
  14. Hitchcock: Nintendo style! fearnet.com/news/b25953_hi…
  15. A "Bohemian Rhapsody" rendition as interpreted by a drunk guy in the back of a cop car. bit.ly/H1ZU3M
  16. @Mikes005 I've heard of that company! Their web hosting is done by translating HTML code into dots and dashes on a tablet of marble.
  17. @Mikes005 Wicked - can you send a link when you're done? I'd like to bask in your glory a little...
