When headlines go bad.

Most idiotic headline from the Herald today.

Sperm unlikely to cross Tasman.

At 1 to 4 mm per minute a succesful crossing is indeed highly unlikely - what was I thinking?

Goes to show you now can believe everything you read in the mass media. I take all my previous comments "back".

I wonder if they tested their hypothesis? Surely not as every sperm is sacred!

Tyler - you are without a doubt the most intersting single serving friend I have met.

I of course immediately regret this topic - and the ensuing comments. I can only wonder at the "pearls of wisdom" IG will empart.

Of course he may simply make something up - ala "Hand Cup". Did you ever find out what he meant when he said that.

Oh and more importantly was Lucy really at the pool hall the other day?????

Pure poetry.

You have to love the juxaposition of the Time Machine and The Shawshank Redemption. Compared to Lucy we are indeed Morlocks.

The bit Red say's could really apply as well - fortunately (or unfortunately) she doesn't read the blog :)
