A few days ago, a friend of mine shared a picture on Facebook of this person who was making a mural of Martin Luther King Jr. out of thousands of Rubik's Cubes. Well, I thought that was really cool, but I didn't have the money to buy thousands of Rubik's Cubes, so I decided to use a web page as my medium, and get others to participate, as well. Thus, I created this:

Feedback is most welcome.

Just watched today's show and as always it just goes to show how greedy some people can be. The girl turned down £60,000 because she had the big numbers still. Then she hit the £250,000 box and of course the banker offer plummeted. So she turned down a few more offers around £25,000. Finally she got down to the last two boxes and swapped the boxes. One box had £75,000 the other £1,000. She got the £1000...

Still not a bad day out !

But there are worse cases - try this one - how long would you dream about this ?





To me it looked like the whole family have had enough pies already

And finally, why don't we get sexy girls dressed up as nurses in the UK !!? Nurses ? Maybe that is exactly what he would need lol

If you had around five grand to spend on a box, what would you get? I did some online window shopping, and made up this list. I hope you like it.

(please note that I really TRIED to stay under $5,000USD, but the large monitor was JUST TOO PRETTY to pass up!)

I had an up-date in for flash today, since I installed it IE is behaving better, mainly you can now scroll through the videos on one of our pages here and it doesn't stop on a video like it used to.

I believe the latest version of flash is now better in Windows 8 too, more compatible, at least that's what I have been told.

Hi guys and Mrs Data,

I hope I am not tempting fate, but I think after three weeks of pain I could be on the mend. For those of a weak disposition please look away now. Apparently one of the doctors now thinks it was a gall stone and the pain stopped once that passed through my *ahem* system. All well and good but I will never look at golf balls the same way, and that 10mm gravel in the drive is going to make me wince for a few days still.

What seems to have happened is the gall stone may have got lodged somewhere and was stopping the bile from escaping and thus all the stomach problems and pain with acid. All the medication was just helping to keep it at bay for a while but it looks like my body finally did the right thing.

Anyway, I won't go on as it may get galling...ho ho

So yeah, now I just have Jaundice... lol - I said things come in threes ! So I am like Homer Simpson at the moment with yellow face and eyes. I hope it wears off as I look like a zombie now - but one of my nurses said it was in good time for Halloween so maybe it was all in the stars.

Today has been the nicest day in a while and I feel more cheery. I saw my sister tonight and we had a good chat. She is just about to set out on a trip to the Everest Base Camp. I don't know if anyone saw but the plane that went down recently was the company she was booked to fly with. Everyone on that plane died, and I just found out that one of her friends was supposed to be on that flight but had requested to get on the same flight as my Sis. If he hadn't have done that, he would be dead. Amazing, but sadly he changed his mind about going (who can blame him), and he doesn't like to fly anyway. It must be strange to experience something like that.

Now my Sis is booked with another company and I pray it all goes well. You have to live life and my sister is the epitome of that, so good luck to her

I'll pop in some more now I feel better, just need to recharge my batteries now

Over and out.
