email

So you receive an email that has utterly nothing to do with you. You can tell by a quick scan of the subject and the first three or four words of the body, a quick check of the recipients and you can tell that they copied the wrong email group. So you delete it right? Well I did.

Then a few minutes later, you get an email from some IT gimp saying:


If you have received an email with the below subject line blah blah please delete it and empty your trash folder. Please don’t try to open it as it contains confidential information.

What do you do? Human nature, right?

Frickin idiot, he just had to leave it, most people would have deleted it. Now everyone has made sure they read it.

w/e

Had a great Friday night. Will impart details this evening once I have all the photos. A few choice quotes from the evening:

“Hold on, just let me check if we’ve got enough cocks in this photo….no, ok, you can be in the photo.”
“He’s ‘just-enough-gay’.”
“Has ‘e got it? Has e’?!”
“Can I have a go on your waistcoat?”
“Do you like my new shoes?”
“Can I have a go on your tiara?”
“Shake it like a polaroid picture.”

arp-ifier

In a moment of boredom just now, I wrote a little arp-ifier script.

You give it some text and it puts ‘arp’ before each vowel.

Let’s see:

Arpin arpa marpomarpent arpof barporarpedarpom jarpust narpow, Arpi wrarpotarpe arpa larpittlarpe arparparpifarpiarper scrarpipt.

Yarpoarpu garpivarpe arpit sarpomarpe tarpext arpand arpit parputs ‘arparp’ barpefarporarpe arpearpach varpowarpel.

Ah yes, perfect use of company time.

Places not to go.

Places to go.

Oooof, check out the facts.


  1. The Czech republic has more Internet Service Providers than any other non-English speaking country.
  2. Andorra has no unemployment, which is just as well because they have no broadcast TV channels either.
  3. Andorrans live the longest, four years longer than in neighbouring France and Spain.
  4. China’s labor force stands at 706 million people, almost three times that of Europe and twice that of North and South America combined
  5. China has the most workers, so it’s a good thing they’ve got lots of TV’s.
  6. Clipperton Island wins our prize for the most unusual looking country.
  7. Israel enjoys a GDP per capita 21 times that of the Palestinian West Bank and 33 times that of the Gaza Strip. Its military spending per capita tops the world.

  9. Luxembourgers, the world’s richest people are also the most generous.
  10. Indians go out to the movies 3 billion times a year.

Oh, and perfect trivia for a quiz:

quietus

Yesterday’s word of the day was ‘quietus’, means rest, death, bring to an end etc. I loved the example:


Consider a small police-blotter report from an 1875 issue of The Grant County Herald in Silver City, N[ew] M[exico]:”We learn that on Friday, Jose Garcia, who lives at the Chino copper mines, caught his wife in flagrante delicto — we leave the reader to guess the crime — Jose, then and there, gave her the quietus with an axe.” — Thomas Kunkel, “The Pen Is Mightier Than the Six-Shooter,” [1] New York Times, August 30, 1998

Bowie’s here soon right:


>> Hello Spaceboy <<
Bowie's ice-cold piss

David Bowie is touring the world, sounding
and looking better than ever on stage.

Until a few years ago Bowie used to bottle
his urine and keep it in the fridge.

It had to be kept in the fridge.... because
that was the only place, he surmised,
where the aliens couldn't get it.

Is this true? I thought there was something like it in Manila?


There is a restaurant near Beijing called Magical
Dwarf Adventure World. All the staff are dwarves.

The organisation which regulates boob jobs in the UK is the British Association of Aesthetic Plastic Surgeons - acronym BAAPS.

Baps.
