Walken vs. Depp
·
1–2 minutes·
No comments on Walken vs. DeppOn Johnny Depp becoming the front-runner for Willy Wonka in Tim Burton’s new Charlie and the Chocolate Factory movie (from TrekToday forum): Tim Burton? Roald Dahl? C’mon folks, this is a match made in heaven. I’m looking forward to it. Tim Burton is probably my favorite director. Although I’d prefer Christopher Walken to Johnny Depp.…

Unbelieveable
Saw a great notice at the gym today: Q: Why isn’t there a weight scale available here? A: We did use to have a scale, however, customers didn’t believe it. We advise that you buy a set of scales for your personal use at home instead.

PowerPointSleeping
While reading a thread about PowerPoint on MetaFilter, I remembered something a friend said about me last weekend. She was a fellow student in my neuroscience course this year, and she said, “You could always tell whether a lecture or workshop was going to be any good by watching whether Adrian fell asleep in the…

Krait
In Wednesday night’s pub quiz, this question came up: What kind of animal is a krait? After a bit of silence and mulling, I volunteered, ‘You know, that’s the name of a ship class on Elite.’ Someone perked up. ‘Really?

Not All Men Are Telepathic
Not All Men Are Telepathic – another Craiglist classic: Ladies, a good number of us men regret to inform you we are not telepathic and cannot read your mind. We get paid to take our boss’s bullshit because we cannot read their minds, could you please cut us some slack? If you are interested in…

Stayin’ Alive
I generally see myself as being pretty informed when it comes to current events and recent history (I also consider myself very modest). So it’s always a surprise when the occasional gaping hole in my knowledge is revealed, e.g.: Adrian has initiated one of his usual ‘how the future will be so different and how…

Zetatalk
On Zetatalk – a cult religion has predicted that ‘Planet X’ will be passing by earth next month. As you might expect, some of the cult members are getting a bit nervous right now; ‘Shouldn’t it be visible in our skies now?’ they ask. Luckily, the daring astronomical community has it all under control (via…
