Thanks Dan. What a delightful story.

This made me cry and nearly wee myself all at the same time.

The New Christian Bale rant

Note how he repeats phrases like a school child. And then the Michael Jackson screech!

I can't believe I didn't see that lilyest hobo sooner. Superb.

How the moon landings were faked

Japanese Spiderman circa 1978-without a doubt the most hilarious thing I've seen in ages. The costumes, the theme song, and of course the little boy's incredibly small shorts! hahahahahaha

Spider Man Hai!

I love this - check out the top rated spoof mails.

See the problem is that you actually want to try that don't you?

Oh you know him so well ....

I got sent this by Johnny Corbett seriously asking if it was possible. I think he's another crazy who'd want to try this.

Fortunately, for both of Tart and Corberts wives, the above is a (cool) spoof.

I know it's usually Jon who points towards Charlie Brooker but the BBC Magaxine Monitor pointed out a little ruckus raised by Jan Moir of the Daily Hate & Bile concerning her suspicions over Stephen Gately's death and Mr Brooker felt moved enough to write a typically brilliant reply.

Apparently it's all caused a bit of a fuss.

For those of us that love The Wire, this article is worth a read, if only for this quote from David Simon:

You beat me to it Kingol. Well played sir. This episode has been played out all over Twitter with Stephen Fry and Derren Brown (and of course Charlie Brooker) getting particularly angry with Jan Moir on our behalf. And quite right too.

Twitter this week has also featured many comments on 'super-injunctions'. I have been following this in Private Eye which will be particularly happy now that the story exploded as it involves its favourite libel lawyers Carter-Ruck. Private Eye has had many run ins with Carter-Ruck (or Carter-Fuck as the firm is generally referred to in its pages) and will be unable to hide its glee for sometime to come I imagine.

Here is how Mr Brooker sums it all up.

The business plan equivalent of a retarded child poking itself in the eye with a spoon.

"It's like twitter. Except we charge people to use it."

Brilliant: http://www.27bslash6.com/p2p.html

Awesome...

Tip: Don't read that whilst brushing your teeth. It gets messy.

I'm literally crying now. Cheers Dan.

Radovan Karadzic becomes a faith healer

This is one of the best stories I have read in a long time. Radovan Karadzic, the war criminal who was able to escape prosecution for his war crimes during the genocide in Bosnia, assumed the name Dragan Dabic and rose in the ranks of the alternative healing community in Belgrade.

Proof that alternative therapies are evil?

Quite possibly the richest vein of genius the internet has to offer (after the Jammyploy forum) - and this guy does it in his sleep whilst his wife transcribes it all to his blog. Wifes comments are some of the best bits.

http://www.sleeptalkinman.blogspot.com/

"Please just walk away. I don't want to have to stand here and say something so awesome that I'll have to remember it the rest of the day. Thank you!"

"Oompa loompas don't sing in heaven. They tidy up the clouds."

"Is it me, or has the ground gone to jelly? Fun. I can bounce... Bounce... Fun."

"So this is what it feels like to be a gummy bear... I can't walk though, I have to rock... I think i'll call myself BerNARD. Not BERnard. BerNARD. And I'll be a golden gummy bear."

Enjoy.

I'm struggling to breathe.

I think my favourite is:

"I've got a badger, a dog, a cat, and a sack. Now that I've got 'em you can fuck off. All mine."

Hopefully the others will partake from this gourmet feast.

"Since when did my underwear look good on you? Take it off. Take it off your face."

I have a new favourite:

"Look. Look at my left foot. Look at my left foot. Smack you in the face!"

Stereotyping people by their favourite author.

Stereotyping people by their favourite indie bands.

Well apparently I really like monkeys. I can't decide if they have mistaken an orangutan for a monkey for comic effect or they're merely ill-educated.

I can also name 2 Miyazaki films...but there's no mention of Banks or Fforde so we can't get a fully rounded character map from this list.

Oh and I've never even tried to make out with any girls at gigs, using nostalgia or otherwise...

Well I really do really like monkeys, but Pratchett isn't my favourite.

Dawkins is. And that's actually a fairly accurate description of me.

Radiohead works.

No, it really doesn't.

Frightening spy type website on the net. If any of you knows about this already (Im looking squarely at Watts and Pedro) I'm afraid.

People finder

And if any of you has a sick joke about Maddy McCann, you're truly sick.

It managed to find a Govind Dhar Lane in Calcutta - a resident from which a court case was filed...on my birthday. Yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

This is why I love watching Westcountry news bulletins:
Bus Puss

You know Casper's dead right? He was recently victim of a hit and run.

Sad but true.

www.chatroulette.com

interesting concept woz - though my 'talking to strangers' phase has passed I'm sure this will appeal to those kids wanting to find a 'special older friend'.

Yeah, probably because I tried it after midnight, but it seems to me that it would be more accurately named 'randomwankingman.com'.

I tried a 9:54 this morning with much the same result....

Damn. I was hoping to play roulette with French cats...

So many jobs, so little time:
Peter Blake, armed robber

Gah! You beat me to it.

Peter Blake is considered dangerous and we ask members of the public not to approach him

If you don't listen to Kermode's Friday rants on 5live then it won't make much sense so download the download and get listening.

There was endless amusement in our flat over this. That, and me demanding my share of the swag.

The man's face when offered a fight is brilliant!
