  1. I knew there had to be a logical explanation. I can totally see them going to all that effort to add a quarter of a toddler - a whole nine or so inches. That'd stop a tsunami!

  2. If he was French he would have written a/, not w/.

    He's certainly pretentious enough, I'll give you that.

    In other news, Gartner says the internet will spontaneously deliver not just unicorns and rainbows but free beer for all.

  4. he talks about having millions of people living and working in space.

    Firstly he can pay them less because they can hardly walk out, can they?

    And why bother routing your profits through Ireland, St. Bongo & Lower Melilla when you can stuff them on Ganymede?

    No point now Cerys Matthews has gone of to be a DJ & TV reporter.

    Even a broken clock is right twice a day.

    No it isn't. I ripped the hands off one last week and it hasn't been right since.

  8. This year we went on holiday to the same beach we went to two years ago. Looking at the old photos, it used to come up to my kid's waist. Now it's barely up to his knees.

    So if anything, sea levels are falling.

    Most programmers I know can pick up a new tech in about two weeks and be average at it automatically

    It's literally that "bit where they talk funny", cognate with Wales and Wallachia.

    HIndi and Urdu are essentially the same language, genius.

    That must be why there are no courses on one or the other, just both. *eyeroll*

    Sure, if you're good at one you can sort of get by in the other. That doesn't make them the same any more than Italian & Spanish are. No prizes for guessing where you're from.

    The thing is, the US airforce has been trying to get rid of the role that Warthog was designed to fill because ground support is not glamorous.

    And at the same time they strongly opposed the army having its own fixed-wing craft. I've never understood that. If they don't want to piss they should get off the pot.

    There's really no question that the 35 does some things very well.
