So, London 2012 have a ridiculous and anti-web TOS that purports to forbid image links, links using their logo or the Olympic logo, or portraying them in a derogatory fashion. I wondered how many of these things I could violate in a single link. Thus I present the following link (using an image nicked off the internet from 2007 by someone who had cheekily got the BBC to run it on their website as an alternate logo):

I didn't do this. My colleague did. I hope you understand the dangers of exposing your children to this entity now.

lighting and cameraphone didn't interact so well, but there you go. thanks to psych0naut and ewtikins and whoever else was playing for their patience.

me and grim_tim and drjane invented a new word at the weekend. it is "trichoequilibrium" and as of writing this it has no google hits. the word means: the natural length your hair will remain at if you don't have it cut.

as an example of usage, if you have fast growing, strong, or persistent hair, you will end up with a longer trichoequilibrium point than folks who don't.

(i just read a latin textbook, can you tell? 18 books this year, by the way, i hope to have all 50 done by the end of summer! more if graphic novels count.)

the radio just informed me that there is a national society for people who hear voices. i wonder if the voices have a society as well.

on my way to covent garden to buy green tights for b-movie, i was accosted by a chugger for Friends of the Earth. i was in somewhat of a hurry, but didn't really feel like ignoring him, so when he greeted me, i informed him that i could not join his organisation because i was already a member of Destroy the Earth, and it was against our constitution to join friends of the earth. he asked what Destroy the Earth does. i told him. he asked how. i said it was unclear but paving it all had been suggested. I did not tell him about the plan to chrome the moon. he wished me good luck and I left.

England shocked by occurrence of summer for 21st year in a row : With temperatures in the mid-30s, the inhabitants of England have been expressing their profound shock at the recent spell of hot weather, which according to Met Office records is part of an annual pattern of hot weather between the more normal English seasons of spring and autumn.

27! thanks all.

rather anticlimatic today after the weekend. i suppose i am now officially in my late 20s. eek. may go buy myself a present tuesday.

today's uncyclopedia roundup consists of : Calvin and Hobbes, a comic strip featuring philosophers John Calvin and Thomas Hobbes (not mine), Sixth International (warofdreams) and finally my Gilbert and Sullivan Islands (this has been stewing in my brane for a long time, I find it very hard to think of the real Gilbert and Ellice Islands without the name popping into mind)

do people want to attempt the music quiz tomorrow?

(context is here)

yes. there is only one wasp. possibly i could copy and paste this one in various sizes. or not.

I think I'll pretend to go to bed now. (but instead read until i do get tired)

( anti-joke )

oh, and i appear to have managed to attach woolyhair to my head in a vaguely acceptable manner (you can probably see the real hair looking at it from odd angles, i clearly need more mirrors or maybe a cctv system for checking. or i could dye it black and then it wouldn't matter so much.). off to intelekt in a little while.
