All praise to Teanne Harris

No, really this is rather a special thing that was done by Teanne Harris. She got jilted by her fiance just 6 days before her wedding day.

When she tried to get back the deposit on her Halloween themed wedding party she was told that it was too late. So, she marched over the road to hte old people's home and asked if they would all like to come to a Halloween party.

Then answer was, unsurprisingly, yes and apparently a great time was had by all: except for the jilting fiance of course who didn't dare show his face.

You know that phrase, when life hands you lemons, you've just gotta make that lemonade?

Getting ready for the holidays

Yes, it's that time of year again, time to get ready for the holidays. Of course, we've got Thanksgiving to get through first (gosh, doesn't everyone just love it when the idiot cousin comes over? And everyone does have an idiot cousin but bear up they're family) but after that comes that great celebration of our common humanity.

Sure, it has different names in different societies and the icons and stories behind them are all different, but every society has a great celebration at the turn of the year. And in my culture (and quite possibly your) it's Christmas and that means a nativity scene.

Given that we've moved recently and various things (as they always do) have got lost upon the way that means that we need to get ourselves a new nativity scene. So which of these nativity sets do you think we should get? I quite like the one pictured but that's only at a first pass.

OK, it might seem a little silly pondering over something as simple as nativity sets for they are of course only out for one month of the year (actually, in our household, only for the 12 days of Xmas, but that's another matter) but then of course that does tend to be the one month of the year when you've got more people coming through the house than in the rest of the year put together. So a large number of people are going to note your taste in such things.

So, I'm still not sure about which to get (and do click through the links to see what choices I face) so I think I shall have to turn to her who will be obeyed: the wife that is. The repository of taste and good sense in our family although of course that does rather leave open the question of how she chose me....

No, not Michael Jackson music

Rather than music from the now dead Michael Jackson, how about the music from High School Musical?

Yes, it's hugely popular, but it's not exactly the TV shows or the movies that really are. What's got everyone excited is the music, which is why so many of the songs have hit the Billbaord charts, just as the soundtracks have. Yes, it's the High School Musical songs which really make the show, not the plots or the acting.

So if you're looking for a guide to them all, each and every song that made the soundtracks, why not try that link? They're all there, along with who sang them and why, to move the plot along.

Hey, it's the music that makes High School Musical so why not concentrate on that?

Lop it off or What?

So, here's a question. Should the end of an infant's penis be cut off or not? In more formal terms, what are we supposed to do about circumcision?

Leaving aside religion, and those few times when it is immediately medically necessary, it is true that in hte long term it leads to fewer STDs and cancers.

On the other hand circumcision is also known to reduce the sensitivity of the glans and thus, as some would say, reduce sexual pleasure.

Hmmm. You might want to click through to see that argument being demolished, it's likely that it actually increases the sum of sexual pleasure.

Book Reading

A very funny little instruction set on how to read a book. While we laugh at it now, and with the experience of 500 years of cultural history to help us, I do wonder whether in another 500 years people will need such a guide to how to read a book?

Will print and paper remain as the information storage system of choice? Or will it all be digital bits and bytes and thus people really will have to be taught the skill?

Testing while Pissed

You know, there's a certain sort of logic to this:

A German man failed his driving test after attempting the examination while three times over the legal alcohol limit, police said Tuesday.

When the man arrived for the test Tuesday morning, both his driving instructor and the examiner detected the smell of alcohol on him, though the 27-year-old assured them he had not been drinking, police in the western town of Bendorf said.

"But his driving was rather bad, so the examiner directed him to toward the police station without him noticing," the spokesman said. "Once there, he had to get out and take an alcohol test, which revealed he was well over the limit."

The man will now have to wait "a long time" before he can take another driving test, the spokesman said.

Imagine he'd actually passed? He'd lcaim for evermore that he was safe driving back from hte pub....
