Limerick by William Cosmo Monkhouse
There was an old fellow of Lyme
Who lived with three wives at one time.
When asked, ‘Why the third?’
He replied, ‘One’s absurd,
and bigamy, sir, is a crime.’

The Dwarf
ware: I rear-ended a car this morning. So there we are alongside the road and
ware: slowly the driver gets out of the car . . . and you know how you just get sooo
ware: stressed and life seems to get funny?
ware: Well, I could NOT believe it . . he was a DWARF! He storms over to my car,
ware: looks up at me and says, "I AM NOT HAPPY!"
ware: So, I look down at him and say, "Well, which one are you then?"... and
ware: THAT'S when the fight started . .

On Facebook Apps
me: facebook is pretty good, i don't like all the dodgy apps though, but i'm likeing the twitter integration ect
me: u should add the twitter app, and get rid of all those dodgy zombie ones that you've been adding
jerry: i still don't understand the whole thing
jerry: it's very confusing and complicated
me: yea i'm getting a grasp on it, you just have to ignore all the dodgy app requests
jerry: it's so open though
jerry: everyone knows absolutely everything you do
me: you can set privacy
me: but yea by default, all your friends can see who you become friends with and stuff
jerry: i really don't understand the need for that stuff
jerry: it should all be turned off by default
me: we're not going to have another "if you don't like it, don't use it" debate are we? :P
jerry: lol
jerry: well i don't really use it
jerry: i don't even use my myspace much either
me: but i think it's dodgy how the app sharing system thingy works by forcing others to install the app just to view like some dodgy super wall thingy
me: and the actual good apps don't really get a chance to propagate

Still not 100% on how to best use this service, but it looks pretty decent. I like how it doesn’t try to look flashy.

that's like myspace tom getting tom. i reckon we should keep track of all new services and register all the common names
and then auction them off to the highest bidder

i think that's why most have the capcha thingies now
with the scrambled letters to stop bots from registering

jamie is good for tues

The Doomsday Rule →
I’ve seen those savants instantly calculate what day of the week a person’s birthday is. Perhaps there’s something else going on in their brains, or maybe they’re just using this doomsday rule, a way to calculate what day of the week for a given day.
