    I know I really shouldn't...

    But I've made a pact with me, myself and I.

    I shall keep my new blog updated. Updated daily that is, unless time seriously doesn't permit.

    I tend to let "the real me" flow out into a keyboard, which has upsides and downsides. More down than up I should imagine.

    Judge for yourself - link's in my sig.

    And the ref takes a point away!
    That was below the belt

    Let me think about that for a while. We all know I'm not exactly very quick on this sort of thing.

    Basically it's an exercise on futility. It's rather easy to conceive all sorts of theories based only on imagination and the sheer knowledge that in the end no one can prove otherwise.

    • Humans are in fact goats dreaming that are humans
    • A spoon is flat. Our brains deceive us to think it is not. Physics is also deceiving.
    • There's green men living on Mars.
    • God exists and it made the universe and all things in it.

    I'm foreign white trash. Why do you ask?

    Just curious... didn't know that white trash existed much outside of the US and maybe Canada.

    And that is me generalizing and stereotyping and all that stuff.

    Douglas Adams disagrees in The Hitch-hiker's Guide to the Galaxy. According to Deep Thought, a computer programmed by mice, the meaning of life, the Universe, and everything is 42. Deep Thought double checked the answer several times. We just don't know the question...

    The rest would be a huge spoiler.

    The UK has the finest white trash. Pikies! (Or is it Pikeys?).

    Think gypsies, but they're Irish and are never seen without shotguns.

    But... just because we don't know it... doesn't mean it hasn't been asked.
