Back when "24" was on, I think it would have been funny to show episodes of Jack Bauer getting ready for bed/sleeping/waking up in the morning...

After all, it was supposed to be a "real time" show, right??

People are all excited about Black Panther being the first black superhero movie. I guess Spawn wasn't mainstream enough do most people don't know about it.

Sorry, Spawn was a bit rubbish. The first decent superhero movie and the first mainstream black superhero movie was Blade.

Yes, I know Superman came out earlier, but it was nearly as cheesy as the 60s Batman series. Blade was the first decent grown-up superhero movie.

So I'm watching Channel 7's coverage of the Winter Olympics and the short track speed skating has actually piqued my interest a little.

Two observations from this:

- The changeovers during the relay events are very weirdly hypnotic. (Although hilarious in one instance, when one of the skaters wiped out just before the changeover period, resulting in his teammate looking very confused and wondering why he wasn't getting a "push" )

- The shorter relay events seem to be more like roller derby on ice: there's a lot of jostling and nearly every heat seems to involve one skater wiping out. (Yes, I know Steven Bradbury won a gold previously due to this )

Invisible Cat

Whilst saving the world from my throne the almost empty dispenser of bogpaper quietly unrolled itself onto the floor...

Probably not cat, as the paper was not shredded throughout the house.

After 2 months of 40s & 50s here's today! I told the neighbor running her snowblower, "If you blow even an ounce onto my driveway... I shall snivel!"

You know how in some games, like pocket billiards (pool) you can put "English" on a ball? Well, can you put Spanish, German, or some other language on it? Why English?

We invented it, that's why!

I knew that. It was discussed in the show Maid Marian and her Merry Men: A Game Called John.

If the Spanish had been successful we would be putting Spanglish on it.

I've been amusing myself between calls at work today by getting my cube-neighbors "woke" to the dangers of dihydrogen monoxide.

Once one of them understood the gag, he couldn't stop laughing and said, "I wish I'd known about this while I was still in the military."

They used to bury people with all the material possessions they would need in the afterlife. Can I just be buried with my To Be Read pile? Because I'll be dead of old age before I finish them all.

I like that idea. To be buried with my to be read books, to be watched movies and shows, and to be played games. That should keep me out of the reincarnation cycle for a long time.
