Jamie & Adam.

That's what I wanted to hear! That's what I'm talking about!

BUSTED!!

And a few birds as well.

Jamie & Adam? Who are they?  :orly:

Messers Heineman and Savage. Those Mythbusting guys.  :google:

OK, is that an Aussie show, or is it American? And what myths have they busted today?  8)

American. Mostly shown on Discovery Channel.

Needle in a Haystack, for one.

So, is it actually EASY to find a needle in a haystack?   :orly:

Yes, if you use the Needle Finder 2000, although Adam may have found a flaw somewhere. Adam found all 4 needles hidden, while the others only managed 3.

Needle Finder 2000...  :laugh:  What is it, a magnet?

Yes... Of a sort.

Oh, and talking to plants is bollox too.

The machine gun clatter of the rain on something outside.

Funny how parents spend the first two years of their child's life exerting so much energy on teaching them to walk and talk, then all they want is for them to just sit down and shut up.

Oh, I love them to walk and talk, but somehow I do not appreciate that at midnight.  :blah: :blah: :blah: :blah:  :zombiefuck:

Mother used to say, it's a shame parents can't bottle that energy and give it back to them when they're fifteen and won't get off the couch and go mow the yard.

Kids have no sense of timing. Maybe if there was a way to fix their body clocks, then the buggers wouldn't be a problem.

Roadworks outside.  There's a medium-sized tracked excavator, a mini-excavator, an articulated dump truck carrying asphalt, a truck with a hydraulic arm and bucket that's carrying earth, a small front-loading dump truck and a small road roller.

Clacking of a pneumatic wrench as they put someone else's car back together. I am posting from my laptop, which I loathe, but my trip was delayed due to a power window problem in my van.

I was headed out to the National Forest today, before sun up for a weekend away from everything and a camping trip to the wild, when the window fucked up. The window went down and broke. It would not raise!!  I thought it would have been fixed by now and we would be on our way again.


I am going to have to waste a whole day, it seems.

Talking to your plants outdoors is a waste of time, but what about those poor, imprisoned plants you keep in little jars in your home?

I will make a brief explanation of the importance of talking to your captive plants if necessary, but first I will pose a couple of questions for you to ponder ...  When we exhale, what gas is expelled in great amounts, especially when we speak expressively?   ...   and   ...   What gas do plants exchange for oxygen during their cycles of respiration?

You do not have to be a fucking Rocket Surgeon to figure this one out on your own.
