Eekkkkk!!! The Matrix is coming, the Matrix is coming! No wait – make that, Big Brother is here, Big Brother is here!! Aaahh heck – it’s probably just Ron Howard, the Anti-Christ.

Thanks Greg.

It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary depends upon his not understanding it.

  1. Rosslyn Chapel Cash-cow
    A friend of mine currently living in Japan popped back home for a visit a couple of weeks ago.

    Ahead of its silver screen debut he decided to take his girlfriend, visiting for the first time, to see Rosslyn Chapel.

    …where he took this photograph.

  2. Cat-proof keyboard
    Forget that – does anyone know how to baby-proof a keyboard?

    1. catproof – babyproof – everybody proof 😉
      Man, that blasting harmonica alarm they incorporated is enough to wake the dead. (Don’t listen, don’t listen – and if you do, don’t say I didn’t warn you!) I’m convinced it’ll keep everything except dust away from your keyboard!

  3. Here ya go ladies
    What qualities can you detect from my face in less than 30 seconds? Probably that when I get drunk I sign up to ridiculous websites. Gah, it’s all about networking, and TDG doesn’t have an image bank. Does that count as risky behaviour?

    If you look closely at the photo, there’s a cat in the background — on the keyboard. I need to cat-proof it.

    In regards to the Virtual Reality room … aren’t I already in it?

    Bit tipsy,

    Rick

      1. found a heck of a quote in the newspaper
        “They said I was the fighter who got knocked down the most, but I also got up the most.” Floyd Patterson, exchampion boxer.

      2. Fake cats
        The cat, unfortunately, is made of rubber, but his eyes glow in the dark. I (unfortunately!) am real, and my eyes, sadly, don’t glow in the dark.

        [quote=Kat]And what happened to your beard?[/quote]

        If I get through puberty, the beard will really take off.

  4. A Delightful Post!
    Kat

    I really enjoyed everything; but, the articles on Light and Rosslyn the best! Isn’t it interesting that Physicists can speed up, slow down, and make light go backward?

    What do you think?

  5. New Poll Ideas
    We’re starting to look a bit behind the power curve here at TDG with that poll still up, so here’s a couple thoughts for a new poll based on your news selections, Kat.

    First poll: If all registered voters in America voted by absentee ballot in the next major election, do you think that would be a better solution to ensuring the security of the election than Diebold’s next “permanent solution to address concerns” with their electronic voting machines?. Yes. No. Don’t know.

    Second poll: For those who have visited a “power spot” or “sacred site” http://sacredsites.com/index.html , have you felt different as a result? Yes. No. Don’t know.

  6. Its all about me
    I finally registered with TDG & called myself ‘the matrix’.
    Soon afterwards, Kat introduced her post with
    “The Matrix is coming, the Matrix is coming!”
    regards
    the matrix
