It would appear these people are serious.  I am amazed.  These people are not.  I like them more.

Sometimes you can go too far with subverted tube maps.  CMSWatch definitely have.

Roses are red
Violets are blue
Some say creation
How about you?

I think we brits really miss out, not having science fairs.

It appears that I am not the only one to suffer enormous boxes for tiny things.  There’s even a collection over at consumerist.

Today’s to do list:

• Buy To Do Tattoo
• Write on hand
• Wash hand
• Make snarky remark about websites that don’t work in Firefox on Linux (just think how many users they must be losing!)

I recently bought Claire a bluetooth dongle (not for Christmas, even I’m not that tight).  This is how it arrived.  Clearly the Royal Mail’s move to charge by dimensions hasn’t affected some people.

“I phoned Camelot and they fobbed me off with some story that -6 is higher - not lower - than -8 but I’m not having it.”

They’re really pleased to have found you a meeting facility.

Channel 5 has been slapped a huge fine and had to cancel two shows on the back of yet more premium rate phone in skullduggery.  No real surprise there, to be honest.  What is surprising is the following quote:

Daytime shows Brainteaser and its spin-off Memory Bank had faked winners on a number of occasions, Ofcom’s investigation found. When viewers with the correct answers could not be found to go live on air, production crew members pretended to win, it found.

I don’t know if you’ve ever watched Brainteaser (working from home for a year had its “benefits”), but the idea that not one person had rung in with the correct answer is horrifying.

This time, for your delectation, a USB paper shredder.  Oh yes - you too can now shred 5 sheets of A6…  simultaneously!
