Funny how many of these are true or have actually happened to us.
###########################################

??? Law of Mechanical Repair - After your hands become coated with grease, your nose will begin to itch and you'll have to pee.

??? Law of Gravity - Any tool, nut, bolt, screw, when dropped, will roll to the least accessible place in the universe.

??? Law of Probability - The probability of being watched is directly proportional to the stupidity of your act.

??? Law of Random Numbers - If you dial a wrong number, you never get a busy signal; someone always answers.

??? Variation Law - If you change lines (or traffic lanes), the one you were in will always move faster than the one you are in now.

??? Law of the Bath - When the body is fully immersed in water, the telephone rings.

??? Law of Close Encounters - The probability of meeting someone you know INCREASES dramatically when you are with someone you don't want to be seen with.

??? Law of the Result - When you try to prove to someone that a machine won't work, IT WILL!!!

??? Law of Biomechanics - The severity of the itch is inversely proportional to the reach.

??? Law of the Theater & Hockey Arena - At any event, the people whose seats are furthest from the aisle, always arrive last. They are the ones who will leave their seats several times to go for food, beer, or the toilet and who leave early before the end of the performance or the game is over. The folks in the aisle seats come early, never move once, have long gangly legs or big bellies and stay to the bitter end of the performance. The aisle people also are very surly folk.

??? The Coffee Law - As soon as you sit down to a cup of hot coffee, your boss will ask you to do something which will last until the coffee is cold.

??? Brown's Law of Physical Appearance - If the clothes fit, they're ugly.

??? Oliver's Law of Public Speaking -- A CLOSED MOUTH GATHERS NO FEET!!!

??? Wilson's Law of Commercial Marketing Strategy - As soon as you find a product that you really like, they will stop making it, OR the store will stop selling it!!

??? Doctors' Law - If you don't feel well, make an appointment to go to the doctor, by the time you get there you'll feel better.. But don't make an appointment, and you'll stay sick.

Here's something you may have missed.




At least they are admitting, for once, that this is not our fault.

Who remembers Max Headroom or even knows about him?

Snowy and me would try to watch every episode on TV, Max was so cutting edge at the time people couldn't really work out what he was or how it was done.

Anyway I stumbled across him on Youtube and decided to change my avatar at the same time.

This is the latest offering from Neal Stephenson.

It's about a MMO called T'Rain that gets infected by a virus called reamde (readme with m and d swapped)
From there the story twists and turns like a twisty turny thing. I stayed up 'till 1 a.m. to finish it on a work day.

Although it's in the Sci Fi section, more of this story is not Sci Fi than is. None the worse for that fact.

First line of the back cover is...
Richard Forthrast, a multi-millionaire marijuana smuggler, has parlayed his wealth into an empire by developing T'Rain, a billion dollar online roll-playing game with legions of fans around the world.

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 :P

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
