Things You Really Need to Look At.
Carved crayons - w-o-o-o-w.
Google in 20 years - genius, I need this for my house.
I love tattoos, but... - some of these aren't so bad but some are so, so, so bad.
Another Funny Tattoo for the html geeks among us.
Sins - what happens with different combinations of the seven deadly sins.
Hillary. Normally avoiding all mention of the endless US elections, had to share this one.
15 hilarious church signs - Not sure I'd go with 'hilarious', but some raised a smile, especially the google reference.
Vandals like tetris too
15 Spectacular Lightning Images - what it says on the tin.
Last Day on Earth - yowch, someone's in trouble...
Talkin' Serious Cute - indeed. Serious cute.
The Man She Forgot to Google
Along the Autobahn. Don't speed. Really don't speed. ¶ 9:29 PM (0) comments / links to this post / Create a Link

So, so wrong
in so many different ways...
Impossible Babe of the Day.
Do we go with the political? Having a 'babe of the day' at all?
The technical? That photoshopping is appalling - her back would break and her shadow actually has a stomach.
Back to the political? What on earth are we telling women and girls about how they should look?
Back to the technical? What the hell happened?
Gah!

Monday Mumbles
The 100 Greatest Female Artists of Rock'n'Roll has been published.
How is Celine Dion there and not Nina Simone? I mean really, how is Nina Simone *not* on there? It's obscene!
Still on music, it's surprising just what can be created using only sounds from Windows XP and Windows 98.
If you're running short of toilet paper, why not try the 100% recycled Shit Be Gone! That is seriously its name. I do like it when you know where you are with a product, and exactly what it will do!
I'm sure I'm not the only one whose teenage years were characterised by Judy Blume and all her books and characters. Interesting to see, then, that two of her books have been updated to reflect more recent practise in sexual health. And one of them's Forever
, which was the one we all thought was exceedingly rude. Ah, the innocence!

Duel / Dangerous Pathways.
I don't know if you've ever seen the film Duel, but despite it having virtually no dialogue, not much of a plot, and a tiny budget, it is one of the scariest films you could ever see.
This, my friends, is just the same.

Sic!
From worldwidewords
Sic!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
"Don't most people know this already?" was Tom Gould's comment on a
front-page teaser headline advertising an article inside (what's
the newspaper term for these?) that appeared in The Tennessean on
26 March: "Don't expect smart car dealer soon."
What a difference a misplaced hyphen makes. Annie Clarke reports
that the London freesheet Metro included a headline on 27 March:
ANTI-YOUTH CRIME EVENT.
"The instructions on a carpet cleaner," e-mailed Pete Swindells,
"caused me momentary confusion: 'Empty when full'."
Department of athletic horticulture. Henry Drury was reading the
Home & Living section of the Sunday Telegraph for 30th March and
found this property advert: "Paradise Cottage, West Berkshire, a
glorious Grade II listed four bedroom hotchpotch of a cottage.
Gardens and a stream run through the property."
Bankers struggle against their reputation for unfeeling arrogance
but error messages like the one that Roger Jones encountered on the
Barclays Bank Web site don't help: "We suggest you try to log in
later and apologise for any inconvenience this may cause."

Not really ok
It's a year today since Helen died.
Well, probably. The inquest couldn't give an exact date, they gave a week's time span, but from the evidence given I do think it was the 3rd.
I miss her every day. Every day. But today feels even worse. I feel weighed down with sadness.
