If you're going to do it, you should probably do it on webcam while being egged on by anonymous people from around the world. That will make you famous. But you'll need a good line to sign off on, and after shooting yourself in the face, it's quite hard to say "See, I told you I was hardcore", so definitely worth doing, but not without making sure you've planned it all out.

It appears that not everyone wants to sit around quoting internet memes all day Kanye. It baffles me as to why this would be as well.

I'm despairing of the fact that I did a great one line post on TMT yesterday that referenced hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy and nobody noticed. I think it was just too clever. Sometimes I wonder if I am too clever for this world.
So, I've been posting on reddit a bit really and checking out team news for the big match tonight (Bournemouth vs Blyth Spartans)

Anyway. If you happen to live or work near a Krispy Kreme donut shop, (an actual shop, not one in a tesco), you can buy 5 christmas cards from there for £5.95.
That's a horrific deal, is going to be your first thought. However, each card has a voucher in that entitles you to a dozen original glazed donuts. That's 60 donuts for £5.95. You could be the most popular guy in the office if you turned up with any number of donuts between 12 and 60 and it would hardly cost you anything!
This information is useless to me as we don't have a Krispy Kreme anywhere near here.

Are they actually worse than us hitting refresh and getting nothing new?
The time spent reading your reviews would be better spent looking at a screen you'd already seen 20 times? Is that what you're saying?

That is a good bargain. However, last week this email was sent to the whole instute I work in...
Dear All
I have approximately 2000 bars of dark chocolate that I don’t need. They were prepared for a clinical trial but didn’t have the level of flavonoids we specified.
Some members of Translational Medicine and Therapeutics have been trying to eat through this chocolate mountain, but even with their best efforts progress has been slow. So if you want some dark chocolate to eat, or for cooking purposes, there is plenty to spare. You will find it outside my office on they second floor. Please help yourselves!!
I went up there with a colleague and there was a 2m square stack of cardboard boxes of chocolate, and a constant stream of people rapidly diminishing it… The bars are in silver shrink wrapped bags with ‘Test B’ on the label. Like space food!

Abby, has it occurred to you that this is actually all part of the test procedure, and your reaction to Chocolate 4BMutagenLevel8 is being monitored even now? I can't believe that, as a scientist you would be so naive.

I'd like to read Dr Benway's sarcastic film reviews. How bad can they be. It's Dr Benway!
Maybe 'It's Dr Benway!' could be the strapline to a kids TV show. Each week an 8 year old contestant comes on, and Benway explains to them using Beckett-like scenarios and imagery, why life is a sham, dreams are destined to be shattered and all you can do is try and ease the pain of being alive, which you won't be able to do anyway. Then he hands them the shotgun-dog-collar from the Saw series and tells them to 'do the decent thing'. If the kid doesn't pull the cord he wins a PS3. I'm just blurting stuff out here. "Could be a TV series!" is almost as lame as 'And then I got off the bus!' as a joke, isn't it?

Cheese is like the second best thing in the world after bacon. I would love to be given some cheese. I won a hamper that included a camembert. Good times.

I just saw a headline on IMDB that said "Quaid awarded $750,000 over hospital negligence" and thought 'Huh - he's finally got a settlement for that embollism he suffered during his Mars vacation'. But it turned out to be a story about Dennis Quaid, star of Innerspace.

Well this goat cheese is fucking rank. They might as well have sent a nicely packaged collection of their personal knob cheese.
