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.

This datum brought to you by the Australia Is Just Plain Weird Foundation.

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?

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.
