Today I've been mostly... 

&bull posted by Matt Wharton @ 3:59 PM  

wasting time surfing the interweb and avoiding actual work as I've been to the dentist and had a filling done and now the anaesthetic has worn off it has started to hurt.

I found a Porno snowman at William Gibson's blog and an office of employees on a couple of webcams Cam 1 Cam 2. I wonder who these people are.

Also I came across this list. BBC News: 100 things we didn't know this time last year

Some of my favourites include:

8. Brazilians are the nationality most likely to read spam. I smell an opportunity here, I wonder what Brazilians are likely to buy. Home waxing kits perhaps?

19. The collective noun for rhinos is "crash". Who comes up with these things? My favourite is a "murder" of crows, but then I am a bit of a morbid bastard.

38. Yoda was based on Albert Einstein. I don't see the resemblance. Stopped they must be; on this all depends. Only a fully-trained physicist, with relativity as his ally, will conquer Vader and his Emperor.

45. There is
a world record for being able to squirt liquids out of a human eye. The existing record is 8.7 feet (2.65m), but a Turkish man claims to have broken the record with a 9.2 feet (2.8m) squirt. With evidence such as this the creationists will be laughing on the other side of their faces. From only evolution could such a stupid phenomena have arisen.

63. Just one in a hundred workers goes to the pub for their lunch, according to a study. The same proportion spend lunch having sex. I really need a job that would allow this. Although spending my lunch break as a rent boy may have it's negative points also.

70. And reports of UFOs have dwindled since the late 1990s. In the UK, sightings have gone from about 30 a week to almost zero; it's a trend echoed in the US and Norway.

87. One gigabyte of information - about a quarter of the memory of an iPod mini - is the equivalent of a pick-up truck load of paper. This is so not true. I'm sure if I wrote small enough I could fit a gigabyte on a single piece of paper.

96. One in four
16- and 17-year-old girls in the UK is on the contraceptive pill - more than ever before. Good news I only need to use condoms with three of my four teenage girlfriends but which ones that's the tricky part. They're okay to fuck but have you ever tried talking to a 16 year old girl, sheesh.
