I'm Back!
You may have been wondering what has been going on for the past few days. I would like to invite you all to visit my new site, which Christopher has been very busy sorting out for me.

Waaa! I have been watching Pop Idols (the UK version) for the past few days, and especially watching this one guy Darius, who apparently liked being tortured and came back year after year after not making it through to the finals. So, I am checking out Christopher's links, and way below was this one, so I thought, OK, let's have a look. Little did I know that somewhere on that page was a link to an article on Pop Idols, which I opened, only to find out Darius does make it!! Now my life is over. The suspense is gone.
Am I the only person who doesn't "get" Haiku? I mean, it seems so pointless. There are probably people out there for whom it means a great deal, but I cannot understand it. Take this example...for...uh...example :

flashlights don’t talk back
why do you, flashlight hater
TURN IT OFF! QUICKLY!


or this one:

staples hurt my hands
I staple them to the desk
I really should stop


There are too many to mention here, so do youself a favour and check this out.
Someone is going to be really annoyed with me, but I just love these kinds of sites. Blame it on having a sick sense of humour, and Monty Python.
I have really felt like doing this at times. I am sure we all have!

Died from sharp things sticking out of their heads.
Yes, well.

Thanks to these people.
If you are religious, look away now. I have posted a link to this before, but found it again when I was cleaning out my favourites, and just had to post it again. If you do not have a sense of humour in life, you are doomed for self destruction. Enjoy.
A new domain and site is on it's way. The domain has been registered, the hosting planned, and hopefully before the end of the month it will be up. It is a joint venture, between Chris and myself, so you will see what all the secrecy is about once it's done.

Follow up on Alien Hand Syndrome
Thanks to Greg Snyder, who sent the following information (not sure if it was more of a smack on the wrist...)

you know, the alien hand syndrome is a pretty important discovery, neurologically speaking (and yes--i'm being serious)...
the theory that evolved from this observation is the "dual premotor hypothesis" championed by this guy goldstein. ...and it's pretty seminal at that... i use it a lot in my theory on evoked fluency in those who stutter.

so anyway-- it may be pretty funny or pretty goofy... but (for those nerds among us) ... it's also pretty cool :)

Well, it's been a long hot and tiring day. Spent the day in town doing grocery shopping. R1500 later, the cupboards are stocked, and that does not even include red meat and booze. Hmmm..the rand is not doing any of us any favours.

This was recently posted on Voetsek, a web site for South Africans in the UK. Can anyone figure this riddle out? It has been driving my family and I insane for the past few days, and I have given up, being as impatient as I am. Let me know if you get it.
Look everyone! It's another test! I am highly disappointed. They were wrong. Now I'm all confused. Maybe I am a boy!!

Help the Needy
Christopher wants you all to participate in the creation of his bio. Please help him. He is desperate. Ta.

My favourite person at present is Anne Robinson. She makes me cringe, but I love the way she makes asses out of the contestants. I can't answer half the questions these people get, but I find myself shouting at them, calling them all sorts of terrible names when they get answers wrong. "Bunch of friggin retards!" I yell, but secretly I'm like "uh...what?" Now it seems some South Africans have caught onto the trend.

The other day I was watching Discovery, when a program came on all about AHS (they actually have an abbreviation for this). It stands for Alien Hand Syndrome. I kid you not. There was a movie about this wasn't there?
Why can't I have a personal trainer at my disposal, to cook the correct food for me, to tell me how to exercise, and lead me through this painful procedure? I could be half killing myself with Billy Blanks, all for nothing! Now I have found out I suffer from this! Where's my fairy godmother when I need her?
Okay, so I know I don't add that much value to the internet with my little anecdotes, but at least I don't waste valuable bandwidth and web space with something like this.
