Comic. [Person with microphone in front of three people standing behind their own desks with drawers and a round box on top. The boxes of the first and last are shaking with their lids slightly raised.] PERSON WITH MIC: And now, for the final round, you have each been given a skunk with a hangover and chewing gum stuck to its fur. You have 30 minutes. Good luck. [caption] The Home Remedy World Championships

Looks like Kubrick

I particularly love the idea of @jamiesmart.bsky.social getting a royalties each time someone pays a “(Bvs)Monkey”

If life were truly fair, he would do the whole gig as Steven Toast.

As a storied institution older than Oxford, the AGAT is no stranger to threats upon its academic freedom. One of our deans was cellmates with Copernicus in Vatican jail (1539-41). They fashioned shivs from astrolabes, fighting off prison gangs of heretics, adulterers and sellers of church property.

I don't care as long as they introduce a new £25 note with a pony on it.

Interested to see how the pic links into the article.

A coconut, shaved, with “GENUINE COCONUT” printed on the side.

Every seemingly pointless sign has An Incident behind it. Morrisons- can you tell me about The Incident?

Could be worse. In order to avoid controversy, all Euro notes feature bridges. In order further to avoid controversy, they're all fictional. Or they were until the folk of the Dutch town of Spijkenisse took it upon themselves to build them. Now all Euro notes feature bridges from just one Dutch town

Andorra is situated between France and Spain, in what I like to call the Pyreneeum.

Obviously there are more graphically impressive ones since, but nevertheless Tetris remains the single most perfectly and ingeniously designed video game ever made.

And a Happy Birthday to Douglas Adams (teenage me's favourite author). He would have turned 74 today.

One of my favourite literary put-downs is from Douglas Adams's The Restaurant at the End of the Universe. Zaphod Beeblebrox, who often reacts in erratic ways, claims to be “pretty dangerous when I'm cornered,” to which Ford Prefect responds “you go to pieces so fast people get hit by the shrapnel.”

The troubles

A cucumber is very much like a bishop in chess in that it can only go diagonally (in the salad compartment of the fridge)

I still think about this a lot.

So that’s that, right? We don’t have to put up with endless drivel about how expensive it is to save the planet abd ourselves ever again? Cool.

J.D.Vance isn't as progressive as his brother A.D.Vance.

Post about secret of hedgehog hearing, with picture of hedgehog seemingly sniffing a flower, above a post talking about hedged bets

No, according to my timeline, hedged hogs…

Secret of hedgehog hearing discovered at far beyond human range Researchers played a sountrack to hedgehogs to identify the frequency of sounds they can hear

Ultrasonic.

University tuition fees system is a “mess”, says Nick Clegg.

Talk about unfortunate coincidences - he’s got the same name as the bloke who promised not to raise them, then supported tripling them in coalition with the Tories.
