More aquilification

This was sent to me today… the donkey has not yet been flogged enough.

Requirements are steganographic in nature.

Web 2.0?

What the hell is this all about. I don’t have a section on the site for “Bollocks”, but thats where this one would go.
Wikipedia references to this as a “second generation” of web services. Services by the way, that were developed in the late 90’s (yes the 1990’s – the 20th century).
So, what happened? Did [...]

Discriminate this!

The government is finalising its plans to stamp out discrimination across the face of the earth.
The deadline for the legislation is October 1st 2006, and although a European directive, some countries seem to have been allowed to get an exemption. Not us Brits, oh know, the spineless twat running the country obviously feels this is [...]

I got a letter the other day that says that when I retire [...]

Dust art

This beats the crap out of “I wish my wife was this dirty” and “Clean me!”.
 

Too much time

Some people have too much time on their hands… some people are also cursed with access to sharp objects, large citrus and a very patient cat…

This my spawn a new section (Too much time on your hands, not the fitting of crash test equipment to small furry mammals – although…

icebergs melting – ice shrinks when it melts?

I was asked this a while ago, and then again today. Basically the question is “If global warming is causing the icebergs to melt, and 95% of an iceberg is below the water already, then how can this cause sea levels to rise so much?”
