Interesting fact

I read it on the internet, so it must be true: The male platypus is poisonous. These little buggers have spurs on their hind limbs (like a rooster), except the spurs are poisonous. Apparently, the poison isn't deadly to humans, just painful and scary.

Personality testing

So I dusted off my old BS degree (I studied Psychology once upon a time) and did a semi-scientific trial of assorted internet personality tests. I can say with a confidence interval of 95% that they all suck.

The Muppet personality test said I was "Animal". Can you believe that?

Why won't my fiancee' stop laughing?

Banner Day

The sun is up and so am I--that makes this a banner day. I'm a little confused about this whole daytime thing. I just don't see the attraction. It's too hot, too bright and I can't find my sunglasses.

Maybe if I go to the gym I'll feel better.

Why I'm not a movie mogul

So I heard a rumor about a new film, and I can't decide if it's a good idea or not:

Deep Blue Sea 2:
Sharks on a Plane

this is only a test

One drawback to working nights--what to do on weekends. I actually managed to go to bed at a normal hour tonight (about 10), then woke up--wide awake, no chance of reprieve--at midnight. So what's a guy to do?

Start a blog, apparently.
